- Use a small spoon to fill the cavities of the silicone mold making sure to round each cavity with extra peppermint. The peppermint settles as it melts, so adding extra to the top will help to even it out.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until all the candy has melted. Remove from oven and allow the spoons to cool completely before removing from the mold. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a small microwave safe bowl while stirring at 15 second intervals.1 ounce melting chocolate
