Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 bag Starlight Peppermint Candy (approximately 12 oz)
- 1 bag Wilton Candy Melts (approximately 12 oz), any color of your choice
- Holiday Sprinkles, for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and set aside for the candy spoons to cool on.
- Crush the peppermint candies: Place the Starlight Peppermint candies in a resealable plastic bag and gently crush them using a rolling pin or a heavy pan until you have a mixture of small pieces and some finely crushed powder.
- Melt the Wilton Candy Melts: Pour the candy melts into a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each until fully melted and smooth.
- Mix peppermint into candy melts: Reserve a small amount of crushed peppermint for topping. Stir the remaining crushed peppermint into the melted candy melts until well combined, spreading the flavor and texture evenly.
- Create the candy spoon shapes: Using a spoon or silicone mold shaped like spoons, scoop or pour the candy mixture onto the prepared sheet in spoon shapes or directly into spoon molds.
- Add topping: Immediately after shaping the candy, sprinkle the reserved crushed peppermint and holiday sprinkles on top for decoration and extra peppermint flavor.
- Cool and set: Allow the candy spoons to cool completely at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for faster setting until firm and hardened.
- Store or serve: Once set, carefully peel the candy spoons from the parchment paper or remove from molds. Store in an airtight container at room temperature or gift as festive treats.
Notes
- Use silicone spoon molds for perfectly shaped candy spoons with minimal effort.
- If you prefer a richer flavor, choose chocolate-flavored Wilton Candy Melts.
- Be careful when crushing candies to avoid powder in your eyes and to create varied texture in the candy spoons.
- Store candy spoons in a cool, dry place to prevent melting or stickiness.
- These candy spoons are wonderful additions to hot chocolate or coffee for a peppermint twist.
