I made these for our Christmas get-together. All the kids loved them — it was 3 treats in 1 — candy bar, candy cane and gummy bears. It was hard to keep the kids from eating all of them right away. Several people commented on how cute and unique they were, and I gave a copy of this recipe to them. Thanks for such a fun holiday treat!

    We made this recipe as a craft for fun in Sunday School. The kids really enjoyed it. Some of them used the melted chocolate chips for the glue and some used some leftover white frosting a teacher brought from a gingerbread kit she had used the day before. Both worked fine. We could not find any string licorice to use so we did without. To set them up faster, just pop it in the freezer for about 5 minutes.

    This was very easy to make. I used square mint thins in place of the chocolate bar. I added some decorating icing recipe # 143816 on the top of the sleigh to resemble snow. I placed a big gummy santa at the front and different types of small candy on the back to resemble gifts. I made these for my sons Christmas party at school and they were a big hit. They all looked so cute on the tray together. This was easy to prepare, just give yourself enough time for the chocolate to set when adding the candy canes. I found it easier to attach the candy canes on the bottom rather than the sides and let them harden upside down.I let mine set up in the fridge. Thanks for such a fun treat.

    So cool! I made these for the younger neices and nephews today. I used the miniature candy bars which are smaller so I used just one gummy bear per sled. They were just adorable. I put them on a bed of coconut for snow and everyone commented on them plus the kiddies loved them. Thanks for posting!
