Comments: "While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads..."

Preheat oven to 350�. Line cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Spray cookie cutters and aluminum foil with vegetable cooking spray. Fill inside of cookie cutters with a single layer of Life Savers using as many as will fit. Bake 5 to 7 minutes until candies are melted. Remove from oven and allow candy to cool about 2 minutes. Make a hole in each with a straw to thread ribbon through for hanging. Continue cooling until cutters can be handled. Very gently, pull cutters away from ornament. Thread with ribbon and hang on Christmas tree or in windows. These are also edible. Makes 10-12, depending upon cookie cutter size.

Note: This is a great project for kids. Allow them to fill the cookie cutters with Life Savers. An adult should bake and remove the ornaments from the oven, being very careful because they break easily.
