Ingredients
- Candy canes (unwrapped)

- Crushed candy canes (optional topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 250°.

- Bake for 5-8 minutes, just until the candy canes become soft--don't let them melt flat.

- Melt vanilla almond bark or chocolate almond bark in the microwave or over a double boiler.
- Spoon the melted bark inside the candy cane hearts and gently spread it out.
