01 - 30 to 36 round peppermint hard candies, unwrapped

# Method:

01 - Preheat the oven to 300°F.
02 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
03 - Place peppermint candies in a tightly packed circle on the lined baking sheet to form a flat disc about 8 to 9 inches in diameter, ensuring edges touch without gaps.
04 - Bake for 7 to 9 minutes, watching carefully to allow candies to melt and fuse without browning.
05 - Remove from oven and let cool for 1 minute until pliable but safe to handle using oven mitts or gloves.
06 - Invert a heatproof bowl approximately 6 inches in diameter. Quickly lift the melted candy disc with the parchment and drape it over the inverted bowl, gently pressing down the sides to shape. Hold briefly until it begins to set.
07 - Allow the shaped candy to cool completely for about 20 minutes before removing from the mold.
08 - Peel off the parchment paper carefully and fill the peppermint bowl with wrapped treats or dry items as desired.
