Introduction
Did you ever eat one of those red and white canes that are sweet and taste like peppermint. I know I have. Those are called candy canes. Did you ever wonder why it is called a candy cane. Well it is called a candy cane based off its shape. But did you ever wonder why it is in the shape of a cane. Did you know candy canes were originated from white sugar sticks. These sticks were hand made. These sticks were made by a man from a church. He gave these out as gifts for the children. Then soon he decided to bend the top part of the stick. He got the idea from the shepherds in a nativity scene. These candy canes soon associated with Christmas. Many people began to hang them on their Christmas trees.
My Opinion
I like the candy canes with the red and white stripes. People started to make those after the canes associated with Christmas. People said that the red and white stripes came because some people added red rose sugar for more flavor and a better look. others say the red and white stripes represent Christs blood and purity. Either way I like the red and white candy canes. People are also making multi-colored candy canes with many different flavors. I like those too. I like the pink and blue cotton candy one. But I like the original red and white peppermint candy canes the most.
