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.
