Quick and easy M&M and Mike and Ike Christmas Lights

Those of you who are regular readers here at Hungry Happenings know I often make projects that are a bit complicated that require many ingredients and lots of steps, but today, I have a Christmas present for you all, a two ingredient project that takes minutes to create. Can you believe it?

Almond M&M and Mike and Ike Christmas Lights

Ingredients:

green Mike and Ike candies
Almond M&M's (you can also use Peanut M&M's or Jordan Almonds)

Supplies:

a sharp knife
optional: a hand held lighter

Instructions:

Cut the green Mike & Ike candies in half. I used a lighter to heat up my knife so I got really clean cuts in the Mike and Ikes. Just carefully hold the knife blade over the flame for a few seconds to heat it up then cut through the candies. If making these with kids, skip the flame and be safe!

Immediately press the sticky cut side of the Mike and Ike candy onto the wider end of an Almond M&M. Repeat to create as many M&M and Mike and Ike Christmas Lights as you want.

You are done! Easy, right?

You can put your M&M and Mike & Ike Christmas Lights in a candy dish for the holidays or you can get creative and use strands of lights on cakes or cupcakes. You can even just pipe some green frosting in a squiggly line on a serving platter and set the candy light bulbs along the line.
