01 - 30 to 36 round unwrapped peppermint hard candies

# How To Make:

01 - Preheat the oven to 300°F.
02 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
03 - Place the peppermint candies in a tightly packed circle on the baking sheet, forming a flat disc approximately 8 to 9 inches in diameter with edges touching completely.

05 - Remove from oven and let cool for 1 minute until pliable but not too hot to handle, using oven mitts or gloves.

07 - Allow the candy bowl to cool fully for about 20 minutes before removing from the mold.
08 - Peel off the parchment paper carefully before filling the bowl.
09 - Fill with wrapped candies, cookies, or dry treats as desired.
