01 - 30 to 36 unwrapped peppermint hard candies

# How to make it:

01 - Set the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
02 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
03 - Place peppermint candies in a closely packed circle on the lined baking sheet, forming a flat disc approximately 8 to 9 inches in diameter, ensuring edges touch without gaps.
04 - Bake the candy arrangement for 7 to 9 minutes, monitoring carefully to allow candies to melt and fuse without browning.
05 - Remove the sheet from the oven and let the melted candy cool for 1 minute until pliable but still warm, handling with oven mitts or gloves.
06 - Invert a heatproof bowl about 6 inches in diameter. Lift the melted candy disc with parchment and drape it gently over the inverted bowl, pressing down the sides to mold the candy shape. Hold briefly until it begins to set.
07 - Allow the molded candy to cool completely, approximately 20 minutes, before carefully removing it from the bowl mold.
08 - Gently peel off the parchment paper from the peppermint bowl and fill with desired dry treats.
