Preheat oven to 300°F. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Spray
sides of cookie cutters with nonstick cooking spray; place on
foil-lined cookie sheet. Unwrap and place hard ring-shaped candies on
the foil, inside the cookie cutters. Fill as much of the cookie
cutter as possible, keeping the candies in a single layer. Bake until
candies are melted, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately
cut holes in the top of each Sun Catcher using a drinking straw. If
Sun Catchers harden too quickly, return them to the oven for 1
minute. Cookie cutters and candy will be hot. When cool, peel off
foil. Break off any excess candy around cookie cutter. Carefully
loosen cookie cutter from Sun Catcher. Thread a ribbon through hole
in top to form a loop for hanging.
This is a great project for kids to participate under supervision.
Sun Catchers would also make colorful and edible Christmas tree
ornaments.
