Materials:
York Peppermint Patty
Lifesavers
Hershey Kiss
Bows or other decorations
Other candies and ribbon for decorating
Cellophane tape
Instructions: For the base, take the peppermint patty
and wrap it in foil or fold the corners under and tape.
Glue a bow to the top of the peppermint patty. Cut out
the center loop of the bow. Take the outer wrapping off
the Lifesavers roll. Don't remove the foil wrap. Tape a
Hershey Kiss to the end of the Lifesaver roll. This will
create a candle. You can use other types of rolled
candy such as Mentos, Rolos, Spree etc. Tape the
bottom of the candle into the bow where the center loop
was removed. You can decorate the candle with ribbon
or stickers.
The first step towards the solution of any problem is optimism.

When garnishing your holiday dishes consider using herbs instead of standard garnishes! Even if you are in a cold climate, herbs and edible flowers are usually available in the produce section of larger grocery stores. These make beautiful garnishes for salads, desserts or entrees. They add scent, texture and color!
