You’ve Gotta Make These Easy Graduation Cap Party Treats
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.
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, Iβve used chocolate covered graham crackers. I think Keebler used to sell them and still might!
Oh good idea! or maybe a square cookie.
Oooh. I like that idea. Thanks for sharing!
they do and they were .99 at kroger yesterday
What can you substitute for reese’s? Peanut allergy.
Rolos?
Ya I’ve seen Rolos!
How about skittles? They come in lots of colors, so you could probably find your school color. Are they peanut free?
Thanks for the suggestions π
You can use brownie bites
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.
Thank you for posting this! I have a few graduating seniors in my classes. I will be making these for them π simple and inexpensive

How long do I cut the twizzler piece?
Mine were about 2- 3 inches long. Itβs up to you π
How many days ahead of time can you prepare these?
I would think a day or two in the fridge would be fine. π
