This is a post from last year that I want to share again because even though I don’t have a graduate this year, many of you do! This is an easy chocolate graduation dessert that is both festive and yummy. Enjoy!
l saw these cute graduation caps over at Lil’ Luna. {Of course I pinned them to my Pinterest board}. With my daughter graduating from high school, I decided to use Kristyn’s idea, but use different ingredients because I was in a bit of a time crunch. Instead of mini muffins, I used mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. For the mortar boards I used chocolate graham crackers. For the tassels I used Twizzlers. To glue everything together I used frosting. I cut the Twizzlers at the end to make them look like tassels. Red M&Ms were used for the tops.
They turned out looking a lot like Kristyn’s.
I put them on upside down bowls {I called them pedestals} and decorated the table with them. They looked cute and were pretty tasty.

Great job! These turned out fantastic!!!
Thanks for the original idea,
Kristyn!
I was just checking these out on pinterest and thinking how I could make them for less (to make alot). I didn’t think of chocolate graham crackers and twizzlers! I will have to try these too! laura@imnotatrophywife.com
Good luck! They were fun.
I picked up my family size bag of peanut butter cups to make these last weekend. I was going to grab chocolate for the top but now I’ll have to look for chocolate graham crackers. Thanks so much for sharing at Whmsy Wednesdays.
Thanks, Jenny! If the school color isn’t red, you can use frosting for the tassel.
Oh how cute! What a fun idea for graduation!
Thanks, Maria! I’ll definitely do this again for the next graduation!
I adore these, I mean really how cute! Thank you for sharing at Sunday Round Up!
