canes

  1. Yields 50 coated canes.

    NOTES: To avoid a white "bloom" on cooling chocolate, be careful not to overheat it. If you need to re-melt chocolate, add a little fresh chopped chocolate. About 1/2 the chocolate or candy coating will be left after dipping canes, but you need the volume to get a smooth finish. Use leftovers to make another simple confection: Dunk dried apricots into the extra and lay fruit on wax paper. Chill until firm. Package airtight; keep cool.

    About 1 cup finely chopped semisweet chocolate ...50 (2 1/2 inch long) peppermint candy canes or sticks...
