This Valentine’s Day, use up those leftover Christmas candy canes by hosting a peppermint and chocolate martini party using this recipe from the Candy Dish blog. Did you eat or distribute all your candy canes? Don’t worry – you can win some more. Candy Dish Blog and CandyBlog have teamed up to create the Candy Cane Contest. Sure it’s January, but we told you how you can use them up.
Here’s how you win: Tell us which four people you’d invite to your peppermint and chocolate martini party. Your guests could be present day friends, historic figures, celebrities – basically anyone you want. Just tell us who you’d pick and why and you might get your hands on some very tasty candy canes.
