Kale-Flavored Candy Canes

McPhee's New Candy Canes Capture the Bitter, Grassy Taste of Kale

Some of the most outrageously flavored candy canes by McPhee include options that taste like pizza or macaroni and cheese, as well as clams or slices of ham. For this holiday season, McPhee is adding to its offbeat seasonal candy assortment with an all-new variety—Kale Candy Canes.

The green and white candy canes promise to share all of the bitter, grassy flavors of the leafy green with none of the dietary benefits. While the festively colored candy canes will make a perfect addition to holiday decor, they also offer an offbeat way for people to get in the spirit with the taste of a popular superfood.

Like other novelty candy canes from McPhee, the Kale Candy Canes are packaged in a box that depicts a personified character.
