Festive Ways to use Licorice for the Holidays


I'm dreaming of a Vine Christmas!
Red Vines are vibrant, fun and the epitome of holiday cheer.
Here are a few festively easy ways to celebrate the season with them.

A Sweet Sleigh Gift

Who wouldn't love a load of licorice?
Perfect for party favors, teachers, Secret Santas, co-workers, neighbors...
it is the easiest, cutest and most economical present of all.

It is guaranteed to have them laughing all the way through the holidays...


Kids' Table Snowman Place Settings

There must have been some magic in that licorice hat we made.
It turns a simple place setting into a fun place to laugh and play!

Cut black Red Vines into the desired lengths to make the hat.
Dip end of the vines that you would like to adhere into a small pot of boiling water for just a few seconds to soften it.
  Place where you would like it to stick 
and pinch together with your fingers for a minute or so.  
Place on parchment paper until dry.

And don't forget his carrot nose!
I cut the stem end flat and used a touch of peanut butter to "glue" it to the plate.


Give Santa what he really wants on Christmas Eve

Milk and cookies are nice but a little ordinary don't you think?
Surprise St. Nick with a jolly Red Vines treat.


I took our milk and cookies plate...

and covered it up, so he'll never know...


Make the perfect straw

There is no better way to drink a holiday beverage than through a 
Red Vines Straw...

Snip each end and let the party begin!

Yankee Doodle Candy - 4 fun ways to use Licorice

I guarantee that if you arrive on the 4th of July with a big tub of Red Vines,
you will be the most popular guest there.

Not only is it a treat to eat but it provides hours of entertainment!

#1. Strike up some fun with
Bowling...

snip off each end of the licorice, 
gather a few small gum balls
and set up some pins...

 Try to knock over as many pins as you can,
 by blowing through the Red Vine and pushing the gum ball down the "alley".


#2. Wear some sweet arm candy
Jewelry
 that everyone will be drooling over...

cut the ends off and thread some string through the middle of the candy...


mold over your wrist and tie the ends together...

#3. If you left your heart in San Francisco, 
you can recreate everyones favorite bridge or construct many another works of
Art...
(and I got this awesome idea here)

#4.  Lastly, suck it up and guzzle down your favorite beverage with a
Straw...


I think if Yankee Doodle is Dandy and if he had a Candy, 
it would be Red Vines.
Have a great 4th of July!
