TIPS

  • One full bag of mints from Target makes two full spoon molds. The spoons that broke (and yes they break sometimes later) I save them and toss them in my coffee (which I have added chocolate syrup) so I can have my own version of Peppermint Mocha coffee (like Starbucks LOL)
  • An alternative to dipping the chocolate-coated spoon into the candy sprinkles – hold the spoon over the sprinkle bowl and use a spoon full of sprinkles and sprinkle them onto the chocolate spoon as you turn the spoon. Dipping the chocolate spoon into the sprinkles can make the candy sprinkles clump together with some of the melted chocolate that inevitably dripped off into the bowl of sprinkles. covering peppermint spoon with sprinkles
  • A whole bag of chocolate candy melts was way more than sufficient. Probably half a bag would work but make sure you melt them in a deep enough little bowl to be able to dip the spoon to the depth needed.

Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
  • In a ziplock bag, crush the peppermints (I used a kitchen mallet).
  • Use a teaspoon to fill the spoon mold with the crushed peppermint – be sure to put extra by the top of the spoon part and at the neck of the spoon (where the spoon and handle meet). These are areas that break easy.
  • Place in oven and let melt completely. Mine took about 10 minutes, but every oven is different and you just have to watch it. Once it was pretty melts (about 8 minutes in or so) I took mine out and added some additional crushed peppermint wherever it looked thin. (the peppermint melts down a bunch, so you may have to fill it in) – then I let it cook for a few minutes longer.
  • Take out of oven and let cool completely.
  • Separate the sides from the candy carefully and remove. If one breaks, just add some more crushed peppermint and cook for a few minutes more.
  • Optional – Melt the chocolate candy melts according to instructions on package. Did spoon end into the chocolate and immediately dip into sprinkles. Place on wax paper until dry.
