What you will need:
- "Star" Peppermint Candies
- Cookie sheet
- Parchment Paper or silicon cookie sheet liners
- Cookie Cutters
- Toothpick or wooden skewer
- Ribbon
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Remove candies from wrappers.
- Place candies on parchment covered cookie sheet in the shape of the cutter you will use. I used hearts, and candy cane shaped cookie cutters.
- Place cookie sheet in oven. Bake for 5-9 minutes, but watch closely. Candies are ready when melted, but not bubbling.
- Remove from oven and let cool for about 3 minutes. **Caution melted candy is very HOT** Candies will continue to smooth out after removed from the oven. Place cookie cutter on slightly cooled melted candy and cut through. Use toothpick or wooden skewer to make a hole for the string. Leave cookie cutter in place until candy is completely cool and hardened.
- Once hardened, remove pieces of candy from outside of cookie cutter. Carefully remove candy ornament from cookie cutter.
- Tie ribbon to hang.
