One popular tale of the Christmas treat’s initial creation goes on to state that the toothsome canes were first made by a German candy maker in the late 1600’s at the request of a choirmaster who wanted a way to keep the choir boys quiet during late-night Christmas church services. Then, in order to justify handing out candy at a church service, the choirmaster requested that they be shaped with a shepherd’s crook at the top as a reminder of the shepherds that came to visit the wee-baby, Jesus. Quite the charming story, right?
