Kindergarten Graduation Treat Ideas
It’s that time of year where we get to celebrate graduations! I have a few friends and family who are getting some sort of diploma this year so I scouting around trying to find some fun kindergarten graduation treat ideas that could work for all kinds of graduations. I decided to create my own graduation cap candy treats using kid-friendly items that I know everyone will enjoy.
Graduation Cap Treats
Ingredients
- 10 Large Marshmallows
- 10 Graham Cracker Squares
- Wilton Chocolate Melting Discs, Black
- 1 pkg. M&M’s Candy
- 5 pkg. Embroidery Thread, your choice of colors
Wilton Black Candy Melts, 10-Ounce
Soledi Cross Stitch Floss 50 Skeins Premium Rainbow Color Embroidery Floss Sewing ThreadsM&M’S Milk Chocolate Candy Party Size 42-Ounce BagHoney Maid Graham Crackers – Low Fat – 14.40 Ounces
Directions
- First, cut the graham cracker squares into 2 inch square pieces. You will need 10 pieces.
- Take 10 marshmallows and cut about 1/3 off each one and discard. Keep the other piece to use for the hat.
- Now take your Wilton discs and put in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue to do this until all discs are melted. Coat each marshmallow in the melted chocolate and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet to dry.
- Coat each graham cracker piece with the chocolate, and set each on top of a marshmallow. Place an M&M on each one. Let dry.
- Take a package of the embroidery thread, and spread out to look like a circle. Cut about an inch of the bottom and cut down the fold line at the top. You should have 2 bundles of thread. Remove one thread from each bundle and set aside.
- Divide each bundle into 2 equal bundles, so you now have 4 bundles of thread. Fold each bundle in half.
- Take the threads you set aside earlier and tie around each folded bundle and knot it. Make sure you tie it about ½ inch from the top of the folded part, so there will be a lot of long threads hanging down to resemble a tassel.
- With the excess thread attached to the knot you tied, tie these 2 pieces together to form about a 1 inch loop.
- Attach your loop around the M&M on each hat. The tassel will hang down and now trim it to the length you would like.
- A great fun treat for graduation parties!
