Candy Cane Balls Recipe
These tasty Christmas cane balls are the perfect sweet energy boosting treat for a hungry and busy Santa Claus!

With only four ingredients and no cooking required, these festive-tasting treats, created by our blogger Anne, are quick to make.
Crush the biscuits and candy canes separately in a food processor (the candy canes crush more easily and finer if you have a mini food processor), or put them in securely closed plastic bags and let your kids have fun bashing them with a rolling pin! Don’t worry about being precise with the amount of condensed milk (it’s about half a tin,) as if they’re a bit soft, they’ll firm up in the fridge.
Leave some out for Santa or wrap some up for a homemade present, but make sure you leave a couple for yourself.
