I was hoping to create an edible candy dish that would impress my family and amaze my friends. Looked easy enough… melt candy canes and crushed ribbon candy in the oven; remove, flip, form into bowl shape. Voilà!
There are no words to describe the monstrosity I pulled out of the oven.

Why, Pinterest, why?

Actually, I like yours better than the inspiration piece. You can identify the candy canes.
My husband looked at it and said “It looks like meatloaf wrapped in candy canes”.
Nailed it.
what’s hilarious to me about this is that my edible candle bowl WAS a craft fail! I was trying to make those candy trays that have been all over pinterest, and it was an EPIC fail….it was a split second decision to see what would happen if i let it cool over a bowl. one chick’s fail is another chicks…um…new fail?
