candy shot glasses

[xxbettyragexx.livejournal.com]

So I went to the mall today and stopped by The Icing to browse around. Way at the back of the store they had some shot glasses that were made out of candy! You can take your shot and then eat the glass. I know some of my friends would love these and I was going to buy some, but since they were 3.99 a glass, I thought, well maybe I can try making some myself first. I'm not 100% sure how I should go about it though. The glasses there were made out of peppermints (like candycanes) so I was thinking maybe of melting some peppermint candies, then pouring it over a regular shot glass to take the form. Though I'd probably have to put cling wrap or something over it in order to get the shot glass out. I don't know. Would this work? Any better ideas? Any other candy I should try using? Or is my best bet just to buy the ones I saw? Thanks for any help!
