‘Tis the season for graduations! Chances are you probably know quite a few people finishing up school and embarking on the next phase of life these few weeks. Traditional presents such as flowers and cards and cash are lovely, but there’s always room to throw in a creative sweet treat! Send them into the real world with with these chocolate graduation cap lollipops. They’re much better tasting (and more chic) than the real thing!
Materials
Sour Gummy Belts
Peanut Butter Cups
Small chocolate squares (such as Godiva)
lollipop sticks
Directions
- Melt a bit of chocolate to use as the “glue” for your caps.
- Cut gummy belts into strips. These will become the tassle.
- Unwrap PB cups and place on a sheet of wax paper a dip the end of a lollipop stick in some melted chocolate and carefully insert into the candy cups. If they are too cold, the cups will split apart. Just insert the sticks about halfway and let dry.
- Unwrap a chocolate square and spread or pipe some melted chocolate on top. Glue on a short piece of the candy belt and top with a mini chocolate chip in the same color to match.
- When the tops are dry, glue them on the candy cups using some more of the melted chocolate and insert into a styrofoam block to finish drying
