Ingredients
Scale
- 12 peppermint candies (or candy canes)
- 6 plastic or silicone spoon molds
- Optional: Chocolate chips for dipping (white or dark)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Place the peppermint candies in a ziplock bag and crush them using a rolling pin or hammer. You want small chunks but not a fine powder.
- Lightly grease the silicone spoon molds with cooking spray or a little oil.
- Fill each spoon mold with the crushed peppermint candy, making sure they are evenly distributed.
- Place the filled molds on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the candies are fully melted.
- Remove from the oven and allow the candy spoons to cool completely in the molds before gently popping them out.
- Optional: Melt chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth. Dip the ends of the spoons into the chocolate, then place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set.
- Once fully cooled and set, your candy spoons are ready to enjoy or package up for gifts!
Notes
- Be sure to keep a close eye on the spoons while baking to prevent over-melting.
- Store the candy spoons in an airtight container to prevent them from becoming sticky.
- These spoons can be used to stir into hot chocolate, coffee, or tea for a festive minty twist.
