Denise,
I saw a peppermint tree on Pintrest the other day and yes, to me it seemed like the very same concept.

Well, I never finished my wreath but, I'd be interested in trying it again. 
I'd also like to know how to make the roses but, Joyce, it may be a secret 
(just kidding).  You certainly do a great job on them.  I mean, they'd be a 
change from the usual Christmas candy that people get in their stockings.

Oh, someone on the list mentioned a gum drop tree.  Is this anything like 
the trees with the peppermints on it?  Just wondering.

Regards,

Denise

Hi girls,
Oh and guys too,
One of my most fond memories of last year was the candy wreathe. I had a 
friend who is deaf from Pennsylvania visiting and we did them while on the 
chat. It was a lot of fun and everyone enjoyed the candy all season. Wait, I 
bought such a big bag of starlight mints that Dan still has some by his 
chair. lol But it was a fun and easy project for an evening of fun with 
friends.
