Fun Facts
Did you know that candy canes have a fascinating history? Legend says they were invented in Germany over 350 years ago! A choirmaster at Cologne Cathedral supposedly bent straight sugar sticks into a "J" shape to resemble a shepherd's crook, giving them to children to keep them quiet during long Christmas services. The red stripes were added later, said to represent the blood of Christ or the passion of love, while the white symbolizes purity. The peppermint flavor, a Christmas favorite, was also introduced much later. From a simple sugar stick to a beloved holiday treat, candy canes have quite the sweet story!
