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.

Ok... so I had to make a few slight adjustments since I couldn't fine the After Eight Thin Mints. I substituted mints for Ghirardelli chocolate and the M&M's for Reeses Pieces. My tassel didn't loop so I put in the fridge for an hour and relooped later. Presentation looked much better.

I made these this morning for my Nephews Graduation. They were such a hit at the party - everybody wanted to know how to make them - and they thought they were just the perfect thing to have at a graduation party. I did have a hard time finding the After Eight Dinner Mints - I kept looking till I found them. I went online and was informed that VG's had them. Went to VG's and there they were - I was so happy - I used white and blue frosting for the tassels. Thank you for this recipe.

Made these for niece's HS graduation party - they were the hit of the dessert table! Used milk choc square candy (Hersheys - used 2 sections to form square or Large size Aldi's Belgian choc bars - 15 pcs per package - invert choc squares so smooth size is top of cap). Made tassel from fondant (white fondant & green M&M - school colors). Assembled all parts with melted chocolate.

We couldn't find After Eights in Colorado but used Lindt mint candy bars, which break off in pretty decent squares and are relatively thin. they were so cute and went fast!

This is a really cute idea, but with so many nut allergies, It would be better to stay away from nuts. Some kids can't even be in the room with that and many parents think because the child doesn't touch or taste them, it's ok to bring them. My daughter had a reaction from throwing her friend's granola bar wrapper away which contained nuts. Please consider a nut free page in your magazine. Thanks! Concerned Parent

I have made these several times.I use Keebler gram crackers. It also helps to assemble them upside down.The top won't slip before it is set that way.Betty Crocker has a new chocolate cookie frosting in a tube like package. It worked great for assembling them. It sets fast and you can't see it.I also use fruit roll ups for the tassel. I buy the color I need and cut them. These are always a big hit.

I'm in Michigan, and they were always a staple here. I haven't seen them in 3 or 4 years now. It must be unavailable regionally. bummer - the thinness of them is really cappish :)
