Need cute candy crafts using candy (Christmas Party)

[mum4jenn]

OK...our Drama Club at our Elem school is having a Christmas Party on Dec 8th. I need some ideas for cute crafts or recipes using candy.Things like Hershey Kisses,life savers,M&Ms, etc.

Can anyone think of a way to make a small train out of items like this?

I went to the M&M site but they still have Halloween stuff up on the site.

I know I have seen cute simple crafts using Hershey Kisses and such but my mind is a blank right now. CAn anyone help me?????

I know one you can make using candy canes. It's really simple.

Candy cane reindeer! Just need some googly eyes, pipe cleaners, little red pom poms and glue.

There are also some things here:

Candy Sleigh

What You Need

2 Candy canes
3 Hershey's miniature candy bars (all same color)
1 Chocolate wrapped Santa (about 2" tall)
2 Dove wrapped chocolate bars (Christmas ones look like presents)
Low temp glue gun

How To Make It

Refer to picture for placement of candies.
Put hot glue on the bottom short edges of a Hershey's candy bar.
Place on top of 2 candy canes (curly sides up to imitate a sleigh), about 1/4 the way down from the ends.
Put hot glue on the bottom short sides of another Hershey's candy bar.
Place on top of 2 candy canes right in front of the other candy bar.
Put hot glue on the top long side of a 3rd Hershey's candy bar.
Place it upright along the outside edge of the 1st candy bar. This makes the back of the seat.
Put hot glue on the bottom of Santa's feet and attach to the back of the chair in the sleigh.
Put hot glue on the bottom of the Dove "presents" and place on the seat in front of Santa.
Repeat for second present.

Here's a fun mouse/candy cane craft. I've done it with ages from 5 to 10 and they all liked it.
