Ingredients
- 1 bag (12 oz) peppermint hard candies (crushed)
- Cooking spray (for greasing the molds)
Optional Add-Ons:
- Melted white or dark chocolate for drizzling
- Crushed candy canes for extra texture
- Holiday sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Lightly grease a silicone spoon mold with cooking spray. -
Crush the Candies:
Place the peppermint candies in a zip-top bag and crush them using a rolling pin until they resemble small chunks (not powder). -
Fill the Molds:
Spoon the crushed peppermint candies into the molds, making sure to fill every corner for a solid spoon shape. -
Bake:
Place the filled mold on a baking sheet and bake for 5–8 minutes, or until the candy is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning. -
Cool and Set:
Remove from the oven and let the candy spoons cool completely in the mold before gently popping them out. -
Decorate (Optional):
Drizzle melted chocolate over the spoons and sprinkle with extra crushed candy or festive sprinkles. Let the decorations set before packaging or serving.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
