Watching TV is something I never really have time for, but when I do have some time, I’ll try to catch up on my favorite daytime cooking/talk shows.
Last year I saw an episode of The Chew on abc and they were showing how to do a DIY edible tray made from peppermint candies and I thought it was the cutest thing ever. And I said to myself that I was going to make one this year.
And that’s what I did because that’s what I do!
I love leaving cookies for Santa, even though my kids are teens and know the truth. I still believe in the spirit of Santa, and I still ask him for what I want for the new year, which every year is health, happiness and prosperity for my family and friends.
This peppermint candy tray is simple and will bring a touch of whimsy to your holiday party. It’s a great tray for displaying sweet snacks, cupcakes, brownies, cookies and more!
All you need is a baking sheet, parchment paper and some peppermint candies.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Place the parchment on your baking sheet and begin arranging the peppermint candies next to each other. It is ok to have them touching but do not let them overlap.
Place baking sheet in oven and let bake for 8-10 minutes. I let mine cool for 2 minutes then I trimmed it with a pizza cutter because it baked in a strange shape.
Some people may have better luck and have it baked to perfection, but of course not me, so I trimmed it and it came out great!
Let cool compleatly before handling.
So easy and so cool! And the best part is that after all the guests have gone, you can eat it!
I will be using mine as a plate for cookies and milk for ol Saint Nick!
If you do make one, come back and let me know how it turned out!
Happy Holidays!
