Candy Sleigh
These take, literally seconds to make. I made 6 of them for the girls at work and once i had all the supplies laid out, they were done in 5 minutes. Feel free to substitute other candies of the same size.
For each sleigh I used:
- 2 Candy Canes
- 1 Kit Kat Bar
- 8 Miniature Hershey variety pack bars
- Curling ribbon
- Glue gun
Use hot glue to secure the mini bars to the Kit Kat bar. 4 on bottom, 3 middle, 1 on top. Tie and curl ribbon as in photo. Turn it over. Put a line of hot glue on the candy cane, then press on to the bottom of the Kit Kat bar as in photo.
Total cost of each is under $3.00

Raspberry Pretzel Jello
