It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and 95% of Americans are ready to celebrate the winter holidays with chocolate and candy, according to a recent survey from the National Confectioners Association. Whether it’s hanging candy canes on the tree or gifting festive treats, candy can add the sweet touch that makes cherished moments feel merry and bright. A poll this month found 42% of us never eat candy canes. So their answer to this is just DON’T. But for the rest of us, what’s the RIGHT way to eat a candy cane?
