can you use ground up hard candies as a replacement for

yes, but crushing them up is a fools errand, dissolve them in some of the recipe's liquid ingredients and adjust calculations accordingly.

they're sugar, so yeah, why not

seems like it shouldn't be too hard. I just need to grind them up in a food processor, blender or spice grinder.

I need to pick mints for this. peppermints have the red dye which will change the color, but my friends will laugh their asses off if I use white tictacs because they all think I'm addicted

Last time I went near anything called hard candy I realised I was going to get a criminal record.

they will turn into a sticky pile of shit that will gum everything up. grinding or crushing it will get he sugar hot enough to start to melt and it will ruin your day and your equipment, but by all means find out for yourself

Well, I'm not sure what's the purpose.

If you want the flavor, you might as well find some artificial flavouring that does the same.

I'm afraid that anything in the candy that is not sugar and flavor might fuck up whatever you're trying to cook...

In any case you can give it a shot yourself and see how it goes. Make a 50 grams cake.

I need them crushed because the recipe I'm using is mostly butter with very little milk
