Baked Bean Candy Canes
Does anyone actually enjoy the typical red-and-white-striped peppermint candy cane? Sure, it's an iconic holiday candy trapped in tradition, and it's sort of sweet and refreshing with its frigid cooling blast of menthol (in the middle of winter). Still, I don't think I ever finished one, except to try to make the bottom end sharp and pointy, like a spear, just in case I needed to stab an evil gingerbread man cookie that came to life. I would definitely prefer an entirely different flavor delivered on an awkward cane-shaped piece of candy.
These cool new Baked Bean Candy Canes from Archie McPhee are festive(ish) brown-and-orange-striped candy canes that taste just like baked beans that most definitely came from a can. They sound bizarre, right? Well, if you were forced to choose between a boring peppermint candy cane and one that tastes like a can of baked beans, I think the obvious choice is determined by sheer curiosity... or whether or not you're a cowboy. Baked bean flavor, of course!
They come in a giftable box of six and perfect for enjoying around a crackling campfire while singing songs (or sitting in front of a fireplace staring at a phone), as an after dinner snack from the chuckwagon on a cattle drive, holiday candy cane switcheroo pranks, pairing with cornbread and coleslaw when fres out of baked beans in a pinch, stabbing a gingerbread man decorated like a rootin' tootin' gunfighter from the Old West (only when things get way too out of hand in the kitchen), or just anyone who loves baked beans, but gets way too gassy, like Santa Claus. Believe me, he's done with lame peppermint candy canes too. 🎄🫘💨
