To make these you will need:
- Mini M&Ms
- Mini Reeses (come in a bag in the candy bar section of the store)
- Mini Hershey’s plain chocolate bars (came in an 8 pack in the candy section)
- Air Head Extremes
- Sucker sticks
Start by unwrapping you mini chocolate bars and cutting them into 2 squares. You will have one skinny piece left over save that to melt for putting them together. You do not need them all so if you need a chocolate fix go ahead and eat one 🙂
Take the skinny piece of chocolate left over and melt it so you can use it as “glue” to put your caps together. I put mine in a glass bowl for 3o seconds, they do not look melted but once you touch it, it is soft and melted. Gently twist the sticking into the wide end of the reeses mini. Then dip the skinny end in chocolate and “glue” it to the bottom of the square piece of chocolate. You will want to make sure you stick it to the side with words, so the smooth side will be the top of your cap.
If you are in a hurry put them in the freezer to harden the chocolate, I just let them set a few hours then came back to finish after the chocolate had set.
Use scissors to cut the air heads into thin sections, attach them with melted chocolate to the top of the cap. Top it off with a mini M&M. I made a stand to hold mine out of scrapbook paper and a styrofoam block.
My daughter made these for a friends graduation, they turned out out really cute!
Where is auto correct. That should say expensive.
Great idea and not too expencive.
I love this idea so much. Thank you for making such a creative way for a graduation dessert. Hopefully for my graduation party this year I will be using this and buying the chocolate, candy to make it! I pray my party will be nice and fun lol.
Convocation day usually comes in student life and celebrating it with these GRADUATION CAP POPS and by wearing awesome academic outfits of Les Laureats ( http://www.leslaureats.fr/ ) in a very nice option.
Like, share or PIN so you can remember this idea for later
