I had a few of these left over after Christmas. 
So I turned them into these; {Easy Peasy!} 
Lay your Mini Candy Canes on wax paper in the shape of a heart and a Cookie Treat Stick midway into the heart shape. Melt some White Chocolate or White Chocolate Chips or Wilton Holiday Candy Melts
in a Zip Lock baggie (i used a quart size freezer bag, they're heavier) in the Micro-wave. (zap for about 1 minute, knead the bag, zap again, knead, zap, etc. until the chocolate is completely melted with no lumps). 
Let it cool for a couple minutes, then cut a small tip off the baggie and pipe into the center of the Candy Cane hearts, covering the stick. Sprinkle with your favorite Valentinesy Sprinkles. 
Let cool. DO NOT stick them into the freezer or fridge to cool. Your Candy Canes will sweat. Sweating Candy Canes = a mess.
I also used my recipe for Jell-O Popcorn Balls from THIS POST and made some pink ones.
I put them in a cupcake liner inside a nut cup tied with cellophane this time.
AND.... Valentiney Tic Tac's. You can find a quick tutorial over on THIS POST.

Jodi~You're so amazing that I want to grow up to be just like you! I LOVE all of the treats and can't wait to give them a try. Thanks for sharing this!
So cute and they look so yummy. I'm going to have to make these, because I still have a whole jar of candy canes too. Brilliant idea!
these are adorable! i found you by way of Ucreate...so glad i did. enjoying browsing your blog and plan to try out some of your tasty dessert & treat recipes very soon.

From Christmas to Valentine's Day and oh so cute! Talk about repurposing!
Hey Jodi. I had to come peek after I saw the post that Kari did about your valentine lollipops on U create. All your Valentine goodies are almost as pretty as your blog. Your really getting me in the Red & White mood now. I've never tried making jello popcorn balls, so I think I probably should. I've just always made the traditional ones & love anything sweet.
You put on a lovely display.
Hugs...Tracy :)
I'm so happy that Kari sent us over here to see your awesome blog! I love it over here! Great idea with the candy canes. I've got about a zillion in my pantry :)
Absolutely Fabulous and super CUTE!
Thank You!
Your blog is so cute - I love this idea for these adorable treats...can't wait to try it!
This is cute as can be, Jodi! You're not feeling your best, and here I haven't done one thing for Valentine's Day!

Fun! I have seen the heart candy cane suckers, but never with chocolate in them before. Such a cute idea!!
These are adorable!! Thanks for the idea and the great tutorial. I'm putting it on my blog!
digging this idea a lot more than just melting the candy canes together (which is, though, revolutionary thinking!) - but hey, anytime you can add White Chocolate to something, you definitely should! luv ya!! xoxo
good night these are beautiful!! too pretty to eat.
i need to make these with my girls. love love these. the whole post. love and miss you!
Adorable! Glad I found your blog.
Now I know what I'm gonna do with all those leftover candy canes!!
Come share your creation at my party: Thursday's Treasures!
