# Directions:
01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
02 - Set the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C).
03 - Unwrap peppermint candies and arrange them on the baking sheet in bow shapes—forming two overlapping circles joined at the center—leaving sufficient space between each.
04 - Bake for 3 to 5 minutes until candies soften and just start melting together, avoiding bubbling.
05 - Remove from oven and while warm, gently press candies together at the center with a greased spatula; optionally, pinch the center with greased tongs or fingers to enhance bow definition.
06 - Allow candy bows to cool fully on the baking sheet until firm.
07 - Before the candies set, sprinkle with edible glitter or sprinkles if using.
08 - Carefully remove cooled bows from the parchment paper and store in an airtight container.
