Imperial Sugar Insight
You can mix it up a bit by replacing the candy canes with 1/2 cup granulated sugar and keep it plain or add natural oils and extracts such as orange or raspberry. Keep the oils to about 1/2 teaspoon or less to taste and extracts to about twice that much. Let your imagination run wild!
