Candy Biplane

Candy Biplane
- These Candy Biplanes are fairly easy to make and everyone loves them!

- I have been making these Candy Biplanes as presents for nearly 20 years. Kids love to eat 'em, adults love to display 'em!

- They are a little more difficult to make than the Candy Trains (see my other instructable), but with some practice, you will be making them in no time!

- These will be larger (approx. 6 inches by 6 1/2 inches) and needs to be handled with care when completed, so it would be better to give to older kids and adults.

Step 1Buy all the candy

Buy all the candy
You can buy the Hershey's Miniatures and Peppermint Swirls in bags, but the Candy Bars and Rolo have to be purchased individually.
Next time you go to a fast food restaurant, grab an extra plastic drinking straw for the bracing.
Here is a list of what you need (for one Biplane):

1 roll of Rolo Caramel Chews
3 Peppermint Swirls (get the ones that are in twisted plastic wrap)
2 Hershey's Miniatures
2 Flat Candy Bars (such as Hershey bar, Skor's bar, or whatever suits your fancy!)
1 plastic Drinking Straw

Tools:
A large workplace
Scissors
Hot glue gun and plenty of Non-Toxic glue sticks

WARNING: DO NOT USE ANY GLUE WITH TOXIC INGREDIENTS such as Super glue, Gorilla glue, Epoxy's, etc... The glue might seep into the candy which could lead to disasterous consequences :-(
