DIY Peppermint Candy Bowls

Hi guys! Today we're making DIY peppermint candy bowls. You will need:


  • Peppermint starlight mints, 19 per bowl- I used spearmint
  • Glass bowl
  • Parchment paper



Start by preheating your oven to 300° degrees F.  Next, unwrap all your mints.



Then, arrange them in a hexagonal shape. 


When the oven is hot, put the mints in until melted together. Mine took about 7 minutes, but be careful because they can burn. While they are melting, an optional step it to rub coconut oil on the bowl so the candy doesn't stick to it.


After that, take them out and quickly adhere it to the bowl, shaping is as you go. You want to make sure you do this very quickly, as it hardens in less than a minute.


Then, leave it out to cool and harden. When completely hardened, you're done! This is how mine looks:



This DIY was super fun to make. It was a little bit hard because of how quickly you have to mold the candy and how hot it was, but it was worth it. You can use these bowls for pretty much everything! You should try this one out!

Until next week,
