The History of Candy Canes

The candy cane has been around for centuries and its origin is still somewhat of a mystery. One theory is that the candy cane was first created in Germany during the 16th century. The candy cane is said to be shaped like a shepherd’s crook, which was used to hook onto the clothes of sheep so they wouldn’t wander off. The red and white stripes are also said to represent the colors of the German flag.

Another theory suggests that the candy cane was actually invented in America by a choirmaster who wanted a way to keep his young charges quiet during long holiday church services. He is said to have twisted hard candy into the shape of a cane and handed them out to the children. The red and white stripes are thought to represent the purity of Jesus Christ.

Candy canes are a traditional Christmas treat, often given out to kids or hung on trees. But where did they come from? Here are some fun facts about candy canes:

2. Candy Canes Were Once Hand-Painted

Before mass production, candy canes were individually hand-painted with stripes. This was a time-consuming process, so today’s machine-made candy canes are much more uniform in appearance.
