Tiered Peppermint Serving Tray

I am in total love with this Tiered Peppermint Serving Tray!  Last year I made this Mod Podged fabric one and I adore it!  Use it all the time.  I remembered back when I was in girl scouts, and we made these melted peppermint ornaments.  I got to thinking…why can’t I make them into a tiered serving tray instead?   And this little creation occurred!  I am so happy it did!

Supplies Needed:

• 2 bags of Peppermints (red or green)
• Parchment paper or a sil-pat
• cookie sheet
• Candle sticks (Dollar Tree)
• Hot Glue/Glue Sticks

I stared off by preheating my oven to 325 F.  Then I got to unwrapping!  I bought the individually wrapped bags of peppermints…so I unwrapped them all.

I used my spring form pan outsides as a guide for my large circle.  I laid down some parchment paper and got to arranging!

I baked for 9-10 minutes.  Watch closely.  You want them melted together but not totally liquefied!  I used almost a whole bag for my large platter.

I repeated for the smaller platter.  I realized that you don’t really need that spring form pan form.  When you remove your sheet from the oven you can use a butter knife to re-shape the melted candies into a more circular shape!  Worked great!

Once they were cool I peeled off the parchment paper and then attached them to the candlesticks with hot glue!  Weird I know, but it worked great and I can just use a blow dryer to heat up the glue and remove after the holidays!

You can choose to use them stacked on top of one another or by themselves!
