Let them keep sitting & keep drying. Sometimes it will take longer depending on the humidity in the air & other factors like that. Sometimes it can take up to 72 hours, depending on the weather/elevation.

AshSim, If you place them closer together and cook at a slightly lower temperature (i believe I did 335), you can get a stronger piece because it will be thicker. They will still be fragile because they are sugar art, but I found that this makes them handle manipulation better. I wait until they just fuse rather than waiting for them to become fully liquid. Then the edges don’t thin out as much.

Baking a large round circle using green mints. Once the baking time is completed I will gently place it into a shallow pie plate while fluting the edges. Once it’s completely cooked I will than prepare a chocolate pudding and delicately pipe whip cream stars on top of the pudding. I hoping the end result will be similar to a mint chip ice cream.

I am practicing now so i can make them for christmas. Thank you (:

You could but an easier way would be to just take the parchment paper straight from the baking sheet and lay it on top of a bowl that way, with the peppermints on top. Thats how i did it and it came out so adorable…I was even able to flatten out the edges a bit because they draped over the bowl onto the table

What am I doing wrong?

THEN SAW THE PARCHMENT PAPER INFO SO MOVED THEM ON TO PARCHMENT. THEY TURNED OUT PERFECT & SET UP SUPER FAST. TOP AND THE BOTTOM ARE EQUALLY BEAUTIFUL. THOUGHT ID SHARE THAT MISTAKE THAT TURNED OUT GREAT! THE ONES WITHOUT PAM ON PARCHMENT ARE STILL STICKY HOPING MORE TIME WILL ALLOW ME TO SEPARATE IT EASY. YES, THIS IS ADDICTIVE IM LAZY & THESE ARE QUICK – EASY & BEAUTIFUL. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS GREAT IDEA!!!

I’m sure you could do that, Suze!

The ones from Target melted really great – like the ones pictured. We couldn’t find green ones anywhere and a friend of mine found them at Walmart and bought us both green and red. The Walmart red was not as bright as the red on the Target ones before cooking and after cooking you could really see the difference. The Walmart ones did not melt as smoothly either.
