Legend has it that in 1670, the choirmaster at a cathedral in Germany handed out sugar sticks to his young singers to keep them quiet during the long ‘Living Creche’ ceremonies during the Christmas Pageant. In honor of the event, he bent the sugar sticks into Shepherds’ Crooks.

Made lovingly by hand in Massachusetts, each peppermint candy cane is rolled straight out to 13 inches long and over 1/2 inch in diameter and then curled into its signature Shepherds Hook Shape.

Then take the finished cane and dip over 5 inches of it into rich Milk Chocolate.

Amazing!
