PEPPERMINT CANDY SPOONS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• In a ziplock bag, crush the peppermints (I used a kitchen mallet).
• Use a teaspoon to fill the spoon mold with the crushed peppermint - be sure to put extra by the top of the spoon part and at the neck of the spoon (where the spoon and handle meet). These are areas that break easy.
• Place in oven and let melt completely. Mine took about 10 minutes, but every oven is different and you just have to watch it. Once it was pretty melts (about 8 minutes in or so) I took mine out and added some additional crushed peppermint wherever it looked thin. (the peppermint melts down a bunch, so you may have to fill it in) - then I let it cook for a few minutes longer.
• Take out of oven and let cool completely.
• Separate the sides from the candy carefully and remove. If one breaks, just add some more crushed peppermint and cook for a few minutes more.
• Optional - Melt the chocolate candy melts according to instructions on package. Did spoon end into the chocolate and immediately dip into sprinkles. Place on wax paper until dry.

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 CANDY SPOONS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300oF (150oC). Unwrap candies and place in a food processor or pestle and mortar. Process until finely chopped almost to a powder.
• Spoon the chopped candies into the cavities of your mold, going above the fill line (candy will settle considerably once it starts to melt). Place mold on a baking sheet and put in oven for 10 minutes.
• Remove mold, on the sheet,from oven and sprinkle some more candies into the molds wherever there are gaps or spaces. Return to oven for another 5 minutes.
• Cool completely and gently remove spoons from molds. Spoons will last several months when covered and stored at room temperature.
