I’ve posted a how-to make a Christmas candy train before, but let’s face it, a clever way to give the gift of a sugar buzz merits revisiting. These candy trains require minimal supplies and go together in a snap. They do require a hot glue gun, so as a word of warning, try not to glue yourself to the candy–not that you would…or that I have.
You’ll Need:
Small package of gum {I like Clove brand, just because the package is red}
Roll of Lifesavers
Foil wrapped Rolo {make it two, you should eat one, and glue one onto the train. It’s the right thing to do}
Hershey’s miniature chocolate bar
Hershey’s kiss
4 – Wrapped peppermint discs
Hot glue gun with glue
Directions:
Grab your pack of gum and lay it on a flat surface.
Glue the roll of Lifesavers onto the top of the gum.
Glue the foiled Rolo onto one end of the Lifesaver roll.
Add the Hershey’s miniature chocolate bar to the top of the Rolo. Oh, the excitement is mounting…am I right?!
Now glue the Hershey’s Kiss, pointed side down to the other end of the Lifesavers.
Finally, glue the 4 wrapped peppermints to the both sides of the train.
Now, decide whether you are going to give them away, or just toss them in your purse, you know, in case of a holiday blood sugar emergency :).

Cute train. Will be fun to make for the kids next Christmas. I’m going to change the gum flavor. Don’t like cloves. Now I just have to find all the ingredients. I bet Dollar General has a lot of items. Then there is Target or Walmart.
This is going to be fun. The train will be fun to make for our fair. It’s in September
