A Fun Pre-School Graduation Project

It’s graduation time! From pre-school and middle school to high school and college there are many graduation celebrations. This is a quick, easy and fun snack that a colleague first made for our Falmouth, MA pre -school children years ago. I have made these sweet treats for many graduation parties. They are always well received and the platter is empty at the end of the event!
Today I made graduation caps with a small group of my Falmouth MA pre-school aged children for their teacher who is about to graduate from college.

We started by washing our hands and gathering our ingredients:
Chocolate covered graham crackers (square) OR square of chocolate (in this post we used chocolate covered graham crackers)
Fruit roll ups (pick a flavor /color to coordinate with school colors)
Mini Reese’s peanut butter cups
Small bag of M&M’s
SassieSap, icing OR melted chocolate (in this post we used SassieSap)

Unwrap a Reese’s peanut butter cup. Squeeze a small dab of SassieSap,  to the bottom of the Reese’s peanut butter cup. (See photo with cute little Falmouth MA pre-schooler’s hand!)

Place a square chocolate graham cracker on top of your SassieSap dab.

To make the tassel, unroll the Fruit Roll Up,  keep it cool so it is more manageable.  Cut off a strip using scissors.  It will need to be long enough to hang over the side the cracker. Use a pair of scissors to fringe the bottom with a few cuts.  You should not worry if it looks like a scarf you will arrange it so it doesn’t in the next step!

Add a dab of SassieSap to the center of the top of the graham cracker. Position your fruit roll up tassel. Using another dab of SassieSap,  place an M&M in the center of the graham cracker right over the end of the fruit roll up tassel. Remember to use coordinating school colors if so desired! Let dry.

Place on a platter and enjoy!! Congratulations graduates from pre-school on up!
