Mumford and I are ready to give gifts and share in the happiest season of all. Yep, were filled with hope for this Christmas season! Hope you and your family are ready for a bright and colorful Christmas. I'm going to make my favorite holiday treat—Christmas Candy Pops! I like to wrap my candy pops in cellophane bags and slip them into my friends' stockings. You can also create a holiday display for your table. What You Need: 4" lollipop sticks • Gumdrops, jelly beans, sprinkles, nonpareils á wafers • 12 or 16 oz. jar • Flower frog or clay I cup - 1 cup powdered sugar What Ypu Dq; • To make the figurines, slide gumdrops onto the lollipop sticks to create the body of each pop. • For holly, use green leaf-shaped gumdrops for the holly leaves and small pieces of red gumdrops for the berries. • For Santa, use top half of one gumdrop for the hat. Trim two jelly beans for his arms. Use small gumdrop pieces for buttons and pom-pom. Poke candy where facial features will go; place nonpareils for eyes and nose. • For Christmas tree, use one gumdrop for base of tree. Use one small gumdrop for trunk. Cut sides from one gumdrop; press sides around top of stick, for treetop. Flatten one gumdrop; using a butter knife, carefully cut out star. Insert sprinkles for lights. • For snowman, trim top of one white gumdrop for head; top with one candy wafer and half of one small gumdrop for hat. Place nonpareils for eyes, mouth & buttons. Insert sprinkle for nose. • For mushroom, use one small gumdrop for stem. Use sequin sprinkles for dots. • To make a Christmas display, place flower frog or clay at bottom of jar. This helps the lollipop sticks stay upright. Partially fill this glass jar with powdered sugar and stand the figurines on flower frogs/clay in the "snow." 14 0 December 2015 0 William Penn Life laÉflfMltHMMflH
