I have been eating it with my spoon. LOL. Yum!
I think I love you for the pulverized candy cane idea!
martinis!
I used a hammer to make mine this Christmas, but a blender would be much easier. I used mine on a gingerbread train that I did with my niece and nephews. I called it candy cane snow.
How do you store it and what is it's approximate shelf life? Can't wait to do this.
Hi! I just refered to your post on my blog, I made Candy Cane Dust (and a Cake with it on top, which will be posted tomorrow), so just wanted to let you know I used your excellent idea!
Thanks for sharing!

I don't have a food processor. I am using a hammer but this still seems to leave lots of chunks when all I want is the powder/dust. How is this achieved? Wouldn't a blender need a wet ingredient and if this is the case it wouldn't be dust, it would be a paste, right? Thanks.Mary in KY
