they’re not all winners…
it seemed easy enough… line up candies on a cookie sheet, heat them til they’re kinda squooshy and jam a stick in em. WA-LA! peppermint lollipops!
but no.
don’t line em up too close or you’ll end up with peppermint candy lace… or something.
look how freakin’ festive i am, with my snowman trivet and sheet of flat peppermint candies!
before and after. =/ i’m not pleased. i tinkered with the temp, i tinkered with the time, i did not have much luck.
i got *1* that was close to what i wanted, but the red separated from the white, and they looked like little suns. what. the. heck? this project has me talking. like. william. shatner! *GAH!*
i’m gonna keep trying, i bought a bag of 500 candies (no, i am sadly not exagggggarating.) i will not let it win. i will (eventually) prevail. i hope.
