My son graduated this week from pre-school this week. Yes, a pre-school graduation. I realize some might think its silly and others might find it down right crazy that I actually teared up as he walked out in his little tiny cap and gown…
Nonetheless, it was a lot of fun and we are definitely proud parents!
For the occasion I made little take home treats. After checking out this post I tried my hand at the candy cup graduation caps.
I used dark chocolate peanut butter cups and dark chocolate Godiva squares. For the “tassels” I used two Twizzlers that I cut down and then peeled apart. The little dot on top was the end of a Hot Tamale, cut off using kitchen shears.
I opted to exclude the sticks and instead bagged them in clear plastic with pretty sticky tape and a homemade sticker of the school’s emblem and name.
I got a lot of compliments on them and everyone seemed very appreciative. Of course the kids loved the chocolate! I think most importantly, having a little something beautiful to take home makes any event feel extra special.
