Many stories circulate about the invention of the candy cane as a religious symbol of the Christmas season. However, the confection did not appear in its current striped and hooked form until early in the 20th century. The first incarnation of the candy cane was a straight white stick, first invented in the 17th century as a decoration for Christmas trees.
