Directions:1. Start by pouring the sugar and water into a saucepan.
2. Give it a good stir and turn the stove on medium heat. Meanwhile, unrap from 6 to 8 candy canes and break them into pieces.
3. Add the candy cane pieces to the pan and continue stirring frequently as the mixture heats up.
4. The candy canes will start dissolving, and the syrup will begin to turn a creamy pink color. When all the sugar and candy canes are dissolved, it will turn clear and take on a deep pink color.
5. Continue cooking until the syrup comes to a boil. let it boil for about 2-3 minutes and turn off the heat and allow the syrup to cool in the pan. When it's cooled, pour into a jar with a lid for storage.
6. this syrup makes a lovely gift if you put it in a pretty jar or bottle and decorate it with ribbon and a candy cane. Mason jars, clear bottles from vanilla extract, or small gourmet green olives makes a really charming containers for things like this |

Notes: This is such a simple recipe and the result is a decadent and sweet syrup that's wonderful for flavoring hot chocolate or drizzling over ice cream, Also this is a great recipe to make with the kids, who will LOVE unrapping the candy canes and seeing what you can make from them. And of course if you let them eat the results in hot chocolate or vanilla ice cream, they'll love it even more!
