Christmas Candy Train

Want to do a fun and tasty activity with your children or grandchildren? This Christmas Candy Train is the bomb!  I have made this train with my grandchildren for the last 4 years, this last time over Zoom. It makes a great decoration and is a great outlet for creativity. Let Santa ride the Christmas Candy Train through a forest with all sorts of fun and interesting creatures.

Ingredient list:

Royal icing

Sugar crystals

Red licorice sticks (about 6)

2 Three Musketeers bars (full-sized bars)

1 candy orange slice

1 wrapped Reeses miniature cup

1 silver wrapped Hersheys’ kiss

Several green wrapped Hershey’s kisses for trees

Train driver (Santa, snowman for example)

Train car loads: miniature Tootsie rolls for logs, foil wrapped presents, foil wrapped balls, foil wrapped coal

Wheels – peppermint candies, unwrapped

Any extra candies to decorate wheels or in the snow (Your imagination is the limit!)

13X10 inch foil covered cardboard

Please watch this video to see how it is assembled. My grandson and granddaughter and a friend of theirs did a great job of explaining the process. Have fun!
