- Assorted Christmas candy (wrapped or unwrapped)
- 3 3 peppermint candies
Instructions
- Unwrap the 3 peppermint candies
- Pour chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl, and heat in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. Remove and stir very well. Repeat these steps until the chocolate is fully melted.
- Drizzle some chocolate into each of the mold cavities, and use a spoon to coat the entire cavity
- Place chocolate-coated mold on a plate, and set in the freezer for 5 minutes.
- Remove the chocolate-coated mold from the freezer, and coat with a second coat of chocolate.

- Place a half-sphere upside down on the hot plate for a second, then fill with candy. Take a second half-sphere, and place it upside down on the hot plate to melt the chocolate a bit. Place the two half spheres together and the melted chocolate will mold them together.
- Dab a small amount of chocolate onto one side of the peppermint candy, and place it on top of the chocolate sphere.
