In celebration of the graduate, here's a fun and sweet treat that can easily be put together to serve on graduation day.  Make their day extra special, and sweet!



These Graduation Caps are just too cute and so simple!

Just a few ingredients is all you'll need.




Graduation Caps

Ingredients:
24 thin mints
24 m&m's
1 tube decorating icing - (use a color to match the graduation colors)
24 miniature peanut butter cups

Directions:
Begin by removing paper liners from peanut butter cups, then place each cup upside down on waxed paper.  Put a small amount of frosting on each peanut butter cup then center a mint on top of each.  Using frosting make a loop for each cap's tassel.  Place an m&m on top of each loop.

Other Optional Ingredients:
Rolos in place of peanut butter cups.  Chocolate covered graham crackers, Ghiradelli squares or two Hershey's bar segments-smooth side up- in place of thin mints. Pull apart twizzler in place of icing for the tassel.  Hershey's chocolate drops or reese's pieces, up side down chocolate chips in place of the m&m's.

These would be so cute as pops too!  Just add sticks, you can find those at the craft stores.
