These Milky Way teddy sleds are so fun! I'm sitting here having a hard time believing that the first time we made these, my oldest, who graduated high school a few years ago, was in the second grade!

What Others Are Saying
These would be a perfect addition to a gingerbread House! ---Hannah
Made these with the kiddos, and they turned out really cute! The crackers get a little soft after a couple of days so next time we'll make sure to eat them sooner or store them better. So fun.---Julie on Facebook.

Tips and Tricks
- Royal icing or frosting. Store-bought frosting is yummy and easy for kids to work with if making these for a snack. You can also use royal icing, which sets up quicker and works well if making sleds for a party.
- Candy bars. Milky Way or Snickers fun-size bars work well. We had some leftover from trick-or-treat candy, and this was a great way to use them up!
- Storage tips. Because they are made with a cracker, these sleds are best eaten the day that they are made. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Ingredients
- Mini candy canes
- Teddy grahams
- Miniature fun-sized Milky Way candy bars
- Chocolate frosting
How To Make Teddy Candy Sleds
Step 1: Cut a fun-sized candy bar in thirds. Take the center piece out. (This helps the little sled fit onto the candy canes better.)
Step 2: Sandwich a little teddy graham cracker between the two candy bar pieces with a bit of chocolate frosting.
Step 3: Spread a small amount of chocolate frosting on two mini candy canes. Place a candy bar on top of the candy canes.
Store candy sleds in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
