Peppermint Platter

Using items from the $$ Tree, you too can make this oh so easy Christmas Peppermint Platter. It's easier (and cheaper) than you might think.
No, it's not sticky. It's also not permanent. I would suggest that you only use this for one year, then toss the peppermint top and make another next year. It's so cheap, easy and FUN!
I didn't count how many peppermint candies I used, but you can see I had about 5-6 left over after filling up my disposable foil pan.
I have a small oven that I use for simple baking. I placed the tin in this small oven at 350 degrees for 6-7 minutes. (do NOT leave your tin unattended)
The disposable pan (in my opinion) is what makes this project incredibly simple. Cut the pan away and flip your platter out onto some tin foil or parchment paper.

    I made the platter and a bowl a few years ago with my son. It was fun, surprisingly not sticky when cooled, and the family loved it as part of our Christmas decor. It is easy!
