Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300°F / 175°C.
  • Set aside a 5-6 inch cereal bowl with a smooth bottom. Line a baking sheet with a nonstick baking mat (best option) or parchment paper.
  • Place one candy flat on the prepared baking sheet. Place six more candies around so they're all adjacent. Then add 12 more the same way around the outside. 
  • Bake for 5-8 minutes or until the candy just starts to melt and turn glossy.
  • Meanwhile, place your bowl upside down and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Using oven mitts, remove baking sheet from oven and immediately invert the melted candies onto the outside of the bowl, pressing for at least 30 seconds to mold to the shape. 
  • Cool for several minutes and then gently pry the peppermint bowl off the cereal bowl using your finger tips.
  • Repeat these steps for a second bowl if desired. Enjoy!

Notes
