Description
DIY Peppermint Candy Spoons are a festive and fun treat perfect for stirring hot chocolate or gifting during the holidays. Made by melting peppermint candies into spoon molds, they’re easy to make and add a sweet peppermint twist to any drink.
Ingredients
- 1 bag (about 12 oz) peppermint hard candies or candy canes
- Nonstick cooking spray or oil (for greasing molds)
- Optional: chocolate for dipping, sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Lightly grease silicone spoon molds with nonstick spray or oil.
- Unwrap peppermint candies and place them into the spoon molds, breaking candies as needed to fit.
- Place the mold on a baking sheet and bake for 5–8 minutes, or until candies are melted and fill the molds.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely before carefully removing from molds.
- Optional: Dip handles in melted chocolate and decorate with sprinkles. Let set completely before packaging or serving.
Notes
- Work quickly when candies come out of the oven, as they harden fast.
- Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
- Great as holiday gifts paired with a mug and hot cocoa mix.
