Are the peppermint ornaments still edible? What did you stick them together with, miki?

Actually they are baked together. Just put on cookie sheet on wax paper with sides touching and bake at 375 degrees for 3 or 4 minutes. Be careful as they will flatten out if left too long. Take them off wax paper after cooling. They are fragile and will break apart if you look at them wrong!

I thought you hot glued them together. Last year I made candy ornaments by filling metal cookie cutters with crushed candies and melting them. Some were so pretty.
I like your candy cane one the best with the red and white mints.

Nope. The ones I did were baked. I think they were off the Better Homes andGardens website. bhg.com maybe Hot glue would probably have made them less fragile!
