I haven't made the caps yet, but I did find the mints in a grocery store that carries a lot of speciality items. I'm looking forward to making them this week.

While I knocked myself out making these for my nephew's graduation party, I'd probably do it again. I used Keebler chocolate covered graham cracker cookies instead of the After Eight thin mints and the peel Twizzler ropes. (Couldn't find mints around here.) The problem with the cookies is that they are rectangular rather than square - but it worked. I also used the peel Twizzler rope and cut them to the appropriate size and make a loop. I also used Kraft Hot Fudge Sundae Topping instead of the decorating frosting. Oddly enough my nephew's Jr. High colors were red and blue, so the Twizzer as the tassel was appropriate. I used only red and blue M&MS. This recipe was quite laborious and expensive. I only made about 30 of these and they cost approximately $7.00 or $.25/each. The kids loved them and were eaten in quickly. Caution - the day I made these the temperature was very hot. I should have refrigerated the peanut butter cups, chocolate cookies, and M&Ms. When I started to work with any of the choclate it started to melt. I refrigerated the tray after I made them, which helped. I also told my SIL not to put them outside.

Very cute idea!! I used homemade vanilla frosting because I found it hardened better than the store bought, also I used upside down Hersheys Bliss chocolates (can be purchased individually wrapped in bags) and mini M&M's because the Bliss chocolates are smaller. Instead of the gel frosting for the tassle I used a pull and peel Twizzler. Planning on making these for a few grad parties this summer!!

I made these for my daughter's graduation party and received more positive comments on these cute treats than on the store decorated cake! I was asked if I had ordered them or made them myself. (I'll add that I am NOT a crafty person, but these were EASY!) I did substitute Hershey Bar squares for the mints which I couldn't find. They seemed a better flavor match with the peanut butter cups anyway.

I could not find the mints on recipe so i used ghirardelli squares and I used the bigger peanut butter cups I used red m&m and white for the tassel, everyone really enjoyed them and said what a cute idea. Thanks plan to make them for a group in July too. E.C.
I made these for my grandson's graduation, I change it a little I used the bigger peanut cups and I used Ghiraradelli square- Big Hit!!
