We are always looking for fun DIY projects around the holidays that can double as gifts and we found one with these easy DIY Peppermint Bowls. You only need ONE ingredient and that’s it! Plus, it takes less than 20 minutes and they look adorable!
WHAT YOU NEED:
19 peppermint candies
INSTRUCTIONS:
Step 1: Heat oven to 300°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicon mat or parchment and coat with vegetable oil.
Step 2: Set 1 candy in the center of the pan. Place 6 candies around it (touching the center one) and then place 11 more candies around the circle. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until candies are shiny and just starting to melt.
Step 3: Remove from oven and cool for 1 minute. USING oven mitts, flip the entire silicon mat with candies on it over a small glass bowl. Use an oven mitt to mold the candy to the bowl. Let it cool for 2 minutes and lift the candy off the bowl.

First one I tried it broke. so what I did was instead of throwing it away I used my rolling pin. I crushed it up and I made bark with it. I made dark chocolate and then white chocolate and then crushed up peppermint. Nothing goes to waste. Second time I tried it .it worked. I don't have a baking mat but I used parchment paper and it did come out so I know what to look for now.

After you making the dish, does it last for weeks or months? I am afraid it will attract ants or bugs.
