STRIPED CANDY CANES.
#AbFav_DECEMBER
#AbFav_PHOTOSTORY
In its early form, the candy cane began as a simple white stick of sugar for children to eat - there was no "cane" shape or stripes to speak of.
While it is uncertain where the first canes originated, it is clear that by the mid-17th century, if not earlier, its use had already become widespread across Europe.
The distinctive "hook" shape associated with candy canes is traditionally credited to a choirmaster at Cologne Cathedral in Germany, who, legend has it, in 1670 bent straight candy sticks into canes to represent a shepherd's crook, and gave them to children at church services.
It is also possible that, as people decorated their Yule trees with food, the bent candy cane was invented as a functional solution.
