A fun, easy approach to shaping peppermint candies into a festive edible bowl—ready in minutes.

# Ingredient List:

→ Candy

01 - 40 to 50 unwrapped round peppermint hard candies

# Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
02 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
03 - Place the peppermint candies in a tight circular pattern approximately 7 to 8 inches in diameter on the lined baking sheet, ensuring edges touch without overlapping.
04 - Heat the baking sheet in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes, monitoring closely until candies have melted together but have not bubbled or browned, then remove from the oven.
05 - After cooling for 30 seconds, quickly drape the pliable melted candy disc (parchment side up) over an inverted heatproof mixing bowl and gently mold the shape using oven mitts if necessary.
06 - Allow the candy bowl to cool completely for about 10 minutes until hardened, then carefully remove the parchment paper and lift the bowl from the mold.
07 - Fill the candy bowl with treats or wrap it attractively for gifting.
