(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The candy cane was originally a straight, hard, and all-white candy stick. It was later curved into the shape of a shepherd's staff and given red striped decorations. Legend attributes the shape of the cane to be a J signifying Jesus and the colors representing his blood and purity.
The candy cane is sometimes ground up and use as a topping for foods such as ice cream or as an additive to drinks such as hot chocolate.
