Walking through the enchanting streets of Walt Disney World during the holiday season, it’s hard not to be tempted by the mouthwatering aroma of freshly baked goods and holiday treats. There are so many different treats to choose from, but this holiday season, it is the Disney Candy Canes that are getting the spotlight.

According to the New York Post, Disney is charging $22 for their iconic 18-inch hand-pulled candy cane. While a box of candy canes typically costs just a couple of dollars from the store, these candy canes are quite a bit more expensive. These candy canes cost around $4.39 per ounce, which would make the price per pound over $70. When you put these numbers into perspective, this is an incredibly expensive piece of candy.
