# What You'll Need:

→ Candy

01 - 30 to 35 round peppermint hard candies, unwrapped

# Directions:

01 - Set your oven to 300°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
02 - Place the peppermint candies closely packed in a circle about 6 inches in diameter on the prepared tray, positioning one candy at the center and surrounding it with the remaining candies, pressing edges together with no gaps.
03 - Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, monitoring closely until the candies melt and fuse into a single candy sheet, then remove from oven.
04 - Let the melted candy cool for 30 to 45 seconds until pliable but not too hot to handle.
05 - Wearing oven mitts, invert the parchment paper and candy sheet over an upside-down heat-proof bowl. Gently press to drape the candy around the bowl, forming its shape.
06 - Let the candy bowl cool and harden completely for about 30 minutes, then carefully lift it off the mold.
