Jolly Rancher Stars

Materials and Ingredients:

- Hard Candies (Jolly Ranchers)

- Metal Star-Shaped cookie cutters 

- Vegetable cooking spray

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line several cookie sheets with foil. Place the unwrapped hard candies in a ziplock bag; do not seal. Using a small hammer or the back of a saucepan, break the candies into small pieces. Sprinkle the candies in an even layer in the center of the prepared cookie sheets

2. Spray the cookie cutters with the vegetable cooking spray. Bake one cookie sheet at a time until the candies are just melted and smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the cookie sheet to a wire rack. Immediately press the oiled cookie cutters, as close as possible, into the melted candy. Let stand until the candy has cooled completely, about 5 minutes. Carefully break apart the candy sheet to remove the cutters and candy stars, reusing the candy scraps to break up for the next batch. Repeat with the other cookie sheets.
