HOW TO MAKE PEPPERMINT SPOONS

Steps:

• Grind up peppermints in a food processor, or by placing them in freezer bag and hitting them with a rolling pin.
• Spoon ground up peppermints into a silicone spoon mold. They'll shrink as they melt, so overfill the mold a bit.
• Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-8 minutes, or until peppermints are fully melted.
• Add more peppermints to the mold as needed. Then, return the mold to the oven for another 5-8 minutes. Spoons will be smooth, when they're done.
• Allow to cool. Then, unmold, and snap off any extra pieces.

PEPPERMINT SPOONS

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 300°F. Roll up a 10-inch-long sheet of foil to form a 1/2-inch-thick log.
• Place 2 candies in each of 4 spoons. Arrange spoons on baking sheet, propping up spoon handles slightly using foil log to make spoons level.
• Bake until candy softens, about 10 minutes, then transfer sheet to a rack. Wearing an oven mitt and working quickly, push down firmly on melted candy in each hot spoon using back of remaining spoon so that candy spreads to rim of each spoon. Cool completely, about 10 to 15 minutes.
