Crush them to sprinkle over frosted cookies or cupcakes for a festive crunch and minty flavor. Stir whole or crushed canes into hot chocolate or coffee for a warming peppermint infusion. They can also be incorporated into the batter of cakes or cookies for a subtle minty note throughout. For beverages, they serve as an attractive and flavorful stirrer, dissolving slowly to release their peppermint essence.

Proper storage ensures their crisp texture and vibrant taste for future use.
