Candy-filled Santa Sleigh — Ho Ho Ho!

During the recent ice storm, Mrs. Claus and her elf (AKA  Mom and Me) had some time to work on Christmas projects. Following the directions (with a few modifications) in the winter 2015 issue of Kansas Living, here's what we made . . .

Candy-filled Santa Sleigh
Ingredients:
   2 candy canes
   1 Kit Kat bar
   7 small bite-size candy bars
Equipment/Supplies:
   Hot glue gun
   3 ft. piece of holiday ribbon

1. Turn the Kit Kat bar so that the underside is facing up.
2. Run a bead of hot glue across one of the long sides of the candy bar and immediately adhere a candy cane (see photo below). Repeat on the other side.
   
3. Once dry, turn the Kit Kat over. Then add a dot of glue to 4 bite-size candy bars and adhere to the top of the candy bar (see photo below).
   
   
   
   
4. Position 2 more bite-size candy bars on top of the 4, running these in the opposite direction; glue in place (see photo).
   
5. Divide a 3' length of ribbon in half; position over the stack of candy bars so the ribbon is running over the length of the sleigh. Then run ribbon under the sleigh, crossing it underneath the sleigh; bring the ribbon up the sides and tie a bow.
