Baking these ornaments is a job for parents, but let the kids unwrap the candies.

MATERIALS

Holiday cookie cutters
Hard candies and sprinkles (optional)
10-inch length of ribbon

For a mold, wrap the bottom and sides of a cookie cutter with foil. Set on a baking sheet and coat with cooking spray. Fill each cookie cutter with a single layer of candies. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 10 minutes, or until melted. Add sprinkles, cool for 2 minutes, then use a chopstick to poke a hole near the top for hanging. Once cool, remove from the mold and hang with a ribbon.



TESTER'S TIP: Jolly Rancher candies work best, since they produce the brightest color.
