Peppermint Candy Hearts for Valentines Days







These are fun and easy peppermint candy hearts to make for your Valentine Decor.

I found this heart silicon mold at Goodwill for $1.00.
I bought a bag of Peppermints at the Dollar Store.  



I placed one peppermint into each heart shaped cup and baked in the oven at 250 for about 20 minutes until the peppermints melted into the heart shapes.  I placed the Silicon mold under a sheet of parchment paper then placed it onto a baking sheet so it was not directly toughing the pan.  The parchment paper prevented the Silicon mold from sticking to the baking sheet.  After baking, remove from oven and let cool about 15 minutes.  The candy will pop right out!

  6. Marti, these are adorable! Thank you for sharing the idea and how to do it. I've made lego candies in a silicon mold but I didn't know you could do it with peppermints. I'm pinning!

  7. I saw this and was so curious how you did it. I had made a peppermint tray at Christmas, so I figured you had melted them somehow. Very clever. What a fun idea! Jodi @ www.meaningfulmama.com

  28. Awesome idea. I would have thought the peppermints would stick.
    Homa Style is having a Valentine link party going on now.
    I would love it if you linked up your heart peppermints.

    1. They stick if you put them in a baking dish or a pan, you have to use Parchment paper if you use a pan, otherwise with the silicon they just pop right out!! Thanks so much for stopping by!
