What You Need:
- 1 roll of Life Savers
- 1 small package of gum
- 4 round peppermint candies
- 1 Hershey's Kiss
- 1 Rolo candy
- 1 mini chocolate bar
- Hot glue gun
- Ribbons, yarn, string, etc. for hanging (optional)
How to Make It:
- Glue the gum pack to the center of the Life Saver roll. This is the bottom of the train engine.
- On the top of the train engine, glue the Rolo candy to the end of the Life Saver roll. This serves as the engineer's cab.
- Glue the mini chocolate bar to the top of the Rolo candy to make the roof of the cab.
- Glue the Hershey's Kiss upside down to the other end of the train engine top to make the smokestack.
- Finally glue four peppermints to the sides of the gum pack to create wheels.
Your train engine is done! You can attach a piece of ribbon to make your train engine into a Christmas ornament. Or you can forget the string and just have a cool edible toy perfect for a stocking stuffer.
Another fun idea is to use other types of candies to make the train's railroad cars. The only limit to this fun edible craft is your imagination.
