Need a fun graduation party treat?

Consider putting together these ADORABLE graduation cap treats! They’re super easy to make and are a festive and yummy treat for your graduate. You can serve these cute caps on a stick or use them as fun graduation cupcake toppers instead.

You only need six things to make these easy graduation cap party treats.

I used chocolate squares for the hats and Twizzlers make a fun tassel. There are different options for candy, so feel free to switch up ingredients if desired. It was a fairly quick project to do and something the kids can easily help out with!

Tips for success:

  • I used a store-bought bottle of icing that hardens when dried, and it worked very well. I’d use that instead of a softer frosting.
  • Starting with very cold chocolate is helpful. I started with room temp and quickly noticed some melting while putting these together.

Make a graduation cap bouquet!

As an easy arrangement idea, I placed my treats inside a small dollar store bucket with some Styrofoam and colored tissue paper inside.

    Cute idea! Since the chocolate squares can get expensive, I’ve used chocolate covered graham crackers. I think Keebler used to sell them and still might!

    • Lina D

      Oh good idea! or maybe a square cookie.

    • Scarlet B

      Oooh. I like that idea. Thanks for sharing!

    What can you substitute for reese’s? Peanut allergy.

    • laurajean

      Rolos?

    • Lina D

      Ya I’ve seen Rolos!

    • Beverly

      How about skittles? They come in lots of colors, so you could probably find your school color. Are they peanut free?

    • riss

      Thanks for the suggestions πŸ™‚

    • Dana

      You can use brownie bites

  3. Cindy

    Wonder if a round chocolate like Lindt would work for “head”. Put little dots for eyes? Are there any solid ones or are they all filled.
