They\u2019re made from rolled-up wafer sticks dipped in white chocolate and coated with rainbow sprinkles.<\/p>\n<p>All you need to do is dip the wafers in melted chocolate and cover them with sprinkles. After you\u2019ve finished dipping the wafers, set them aside in the fridge for about 20 minutes, so the chocolate hardens.<\/p>\n<p>Once that&#8217;s done, you have yourself a wafer candy cane! Pop them into an airtight container and munch on them whenever you feel like!                            <\/div>\n                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\n                \n                \n            <\/div>\n\n            [vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;]\n            <div class=\"attraction-cta\">\n                \n                \n                    <picture class=\"attraction-cta__image\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/shutterstock_745041604.jpg\" alt=\"festive chocolate bark\" class=\"lazyload\" \/> \n                    <\/picture>\n                \n                <h3>Festive Chocolate Bark<\/h3> \n            \n                                    <div class=\"attraction-cta__meta-wrapper\">\n                         \n                            <div class=\"attraction-cta__description\">\n                                Chocolate bark is a favourite of mine.

After you\u2019ve added your toppings, just pop the tray into the fridge until it solidifies. Then cut it into pieces like bark and enjoy!                            <\/div>\n                                                                                                                                            <\/div>\n                \n                \n            <\/div>\n\n            [vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\t<div id=\"thb-image-6acdd7cf34d42\" class=\"caption-style1  alignleft   thb_image_link wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"thb-image-inner size_100\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"thb_image   attachment-full thb-lazyload lazyload\" alt=\"cucumber christmas tree\" title=\"Festive,Canapes,In,The,Shaped,Of,Christmas,Trees,Made,Of\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/shutterstock_2075006626.jpg\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/shutterstock_2075006626.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/shutterstock_2075006626-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/shutterstock_2075006626-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/shutterstock_2075006626-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/shutterstock_2075006626-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/shutterstock_2075006626-20x13.jpg 20w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/shutterstock_2075006626-185x123.jpg 185w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/shutterstock_2075006626-740x494.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/shutterstock_2075006626-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/shutterstock_2075006626-72x48.jpg 72w\" \/>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">We hope we&#8217;ve given you inspiration for the best Christmas snacks you can make.
