How to make a Train Out of Lifesavers and Candy

Begin by trimming extra plastic wrapper off peppermints – leave just enough so that the wrapper remains intact.

Attach 4 peppermints as wheels on your Lifesaver roll, if using hot glue apply a small dap to paper of roll, press on peppermint.

Secure an upside down kiss at the front for a smoke stack.

To create the cab for your engine attach a miniature candy bar to an upside down Rolo and then attach to back end of your Lifesaver roll.
