Classic Spangler® Candy Canes have delighted millions of families since 1954. Candy Canes are a simple tradition of the holiday season that can be used to decorate your home, trim your tree or fill your stockings. Candy Canes are also a favorite for crafts that will make your creations both clever and delicious. Candy Canes have a long history that can be traced back to Germany in 1670. Legend has it that the choirmaster at the Cologne Cathedral handed out sugar sticks bent into the shape of a shepherd’s staff to keep his young singers quiet during long services. While other elements of the season have evolved over time, the simple candy cane remains a traditional ornament and treat, reminding us of the shepherds' humble spirit on that first Christmas night. Carry on the tradition of the Spangler® Candy Canes with your family this season. Spangler® Candy Canes are made by Spangler®, a family company making family treats since 1906.
