20 of the Weirdest Candy Cane Flavors Ever
When it comes to the holidays, the one thing that everyone has on their mind is all of the food and treats. And candy canes are some of the most iconic winter treats. Some people decorate their Christmas trees with them, some people crunch them up and use them in various desserts, and some just unwrap them right away and chow down. No matter how one chooses to enjoy a candy cane, we can all agree that they are a holiday staple. But when there is something good (especially when it comes to food or candy) there are always those who want to add a new twist to it -- and candy canes are no exception.
When people think of candy canes they generally think of the traditional peppermint-flavored candies. But apparently, peppermint has gone out of style because now there are hundreds of candy cane flavors out there! And not only are there fruity flavors and flavors that take after other candies -- there are some pretty weird options out there. From clams to pickles to mac and cheese, candy cane flavors have gotten out of control in recent years! From spicy options like sriracha to made-up flavors like coal and Krampus (which are actually both a smokey cinnamon), there are no limits when it comes to types of candy canes. And since the candies are usually pretty inexpensive, people across the Internet seem willing to try out all of these absurd flavors. Chicken and gravy might be great for a holiday dinner, but for a candy cane? We are not too sure about that. Here are 20 nontraditional candy cane flavors that we dare people to try this year.
