This is SO YUMMY!!! We added peanuts and plain m&m's, and left out the peppermint. The kids loved them! They are begging to make more!!

Made this today to give as gifts. Very yummy! I couldn't find any small candy canes, so I used 4 regular sized, broke them into pieces, put the pieces in a ziplock bag, and used a hammer to crush.
