A peppermint candy bowl formed by melting candies into a sturdy, festive shape for treats or gifts.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Candy

01 - 25 to 30 peppermint hard candies, round, classic red-and-white striped

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
02 - Unwrap all peppermint candies and arrange them tightly in a slightly overlapping circle, then fill the center to form a solid disk approximately 7 to 8 inches in diameter.
03 - Bake the candy disk for 7 to 10 minutes, watching carefully until the candies melt together without bubbling or browning.
04 - Remove from the oven and let rest for 30 seconds until cool enough to handle but still flexible.
05 - Using oven mitts, lift the melted candy disk with the parchment paper, invert it quickly over an upside-down oven-safe bowl, and gently mold to shape.
06 - Allow the candy to cool and harden completely for about 30 minutes before carefully removing it from the mold.
07 - Use the hardened peppermint bowl to serve dry treats such as popcorn, chocolates, or wrapped candies.
