Last year, the sausage brand Jimmy Dean made headlines for its [sausage-scented wrapping paper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pigs-in-blankets-wrapping-paper). This year, the brand has brought back the same cheeky wrapping paper, but has also debuted sausage-flavored candy canes. In addition to the breakfast sausage flavor, the brand will also be releasing a number of other unusual candy cane flavors, including clam and mac and cheese. To get your hands on one of these porky candy canes, you'll have to participate in the Jimmy Dean Recipe Gift Exchange. This involves cooking a recipe with Jimmy Dean sausage and then uploading it to the brand's website to claim your candy prize.
