How to Make a Peppermint Plate or Platter

...Talk about your childhood wishes

You could even eat the dishes*...

  

Ok, I know that's an old song and

these candy plates have been floating 

around the blogosphere for awhile, too!

But I've been wanting

to make a Starlight Mint platter

and see for myself that it works.

It does work!

So... here's my version of

How to Make A Peppermint Plate:

Using a springform pan

ensures that your plate will be

perfectly round with a nice, thick edge.

Just line the pan with parchment paper,

fill the bottom with one layer of peppermints,

and put in a 350 degree oven

for 5 to 8 minutes.

Keep an eye on your mints.

When they look melted flat

remove the pan from the oven 

and allow to cool completely.

Then take the bottom out of the pan

and... 

voila!

An edible plate for your

holiday treats!

Scalloped Peppermint Plate version, too!

Can't wait to use it!
