Perfect for gift-giving or hanging on your tree Dollar Tree has added some bargain candy that shoppers are scooping up.
Fans can now pick up a 12-pack of Natural Peppermint-Flavored Christmas Candy Canes for just $1.25 from Dollar Tree.
The holiday treats are created by the hard candy company Coastal Bay Confections.
So whether you need a last-minute treat for your child’s stockings or you’re looking for a palette cleanser after your Christmas dinner, these candy canes may be worth a buy.
They shouldn’t send your kids into too much of a sugar rush either, with just 24% sugar.
Plus, shoppers can save over 80% by opting for the Dollar Tree version over Target.
The Yum Earth Christmas Candy Canes are available at Target for $7.49.
This means shoppers will be paying more and receiving less bargain for their buck as the Target buy only contains 10 candy canes.
However, the pricier buys are free of artificial dyes and high fructose corn syrup.
They are also non-GMO, vegan-friendly, and certified USDA organic.
These candy canes received an average rating of 4.4 stars out of five from customers.
They were awarded an average of 3.9 stars out of five for product value.

Dollar Tree pricing
Despite the name of the store, Dollar Tree recently added items that cost more than $1 to its inventory.
Most items at the store cost no more than $1.25, but items in the Dollar Tree Plus section cost up to $5.
Dollar Tree introduced Plus aisles to 100 locations in 2019 as part of an effort to diversify its products.
By 2022, Dollar Tree had added the items to over 1,500 locations.
“We believe testing additional price points above $1 for Dollar Tree products will enable us over time to expand our assortments, introduce new products and meet more of our customers’ everyday needs,” president and CEO Michael Witynski said in a statement.
“Our brand promise is that customers get great value for what they spend at Dollar Tree. We will continue to be fiercely protective of that promise, regardless of the price point.”
“I’m so happy to finally have holiday treats! They’re yummy and taste just how I remember candy canes tasting,” wrote one buyer.
“I am so happy I found these candy canes,” said another Target customer.
“My daughter can’t have anything with red dye but she LOVES candy canes.
“I was in the store the other day and walked past these and I was so happy!
“I don’t understand some of the other reviews saying they don’t taste good, they taste EXACTLY like the ones with the red dye. I would recommend them.”
Shoppers may also score five items from Dollar Tree for $1.25 to elevate your holiday decor.
Plus, Dollar Tree has a $5 Christmas tree in two colors that shoppers say is the ‘best fake in the world.’
