Making Candy Cane Sauce
First, you will need to crush your candy canes. The smaller the better. If they are larger, that is fine, they will just take longer to melt.
Next, add all of your ingredients into a medium sized saucepan over medium-low heat.
Stir it occasionally, making sure it is not cooking too hot, and sticking/burning to the bottom of the pan. It will take a bit of time to melt and come together.
Keep stirring and adjust the heat as needed. It will be done when it is all melted, and is smooth and creamy!
You can leave some candy cane chunks in the sauce if you want it a bit crunchy! Make sure the marshmallow cream is fully melted.
