Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven at 350 degree, Fahrenheit.
  • Line a cookie sheet with a parchment paper.
  • Unwrap the mints and arrange the mints into desired pattern, using red, green or combination of mints. You can use spring-form pan or tart pan to create a pattern as shown in the pic.
  • Allow some extra space on the sides and in-between, as the mints will melt and spread.
  • Once you have formed the desired pattern, transfer the cookie sheet to a preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes or until the candies are slightly melted and flat. Do not leave this step unattended. Different ovens have different temperature settings. Please watch carefully.
  • Carefully remove the cookie sheet. The platter will be fragile when hot, and can easily break, so be carefully when moving it around.
  • Wait for 5 minutes, and than transfer the mint platter to a cookie cooling rack, remove the parchment paper. You can use a spatula and or oven mitts to lift the platter. Be carefully as the platter will be hot.
  • Let the platter set completely for few hours before.
  • Once the platter is set, it is ready to use. Place the mint platter on a flat platter and serve your favorite holiday treats. Happy Holiday!!
