These were easy to do. Everyone loved them. They quickly disappeared. Next time I'll make lots more!

I didn't make them yet, because I just found this recipe on my computer, tonight. I will be making this for my grandson's graduation from college. Annette Boucher

I have made it twice and once I used Ghiradelli chocolate squares into of the mint squares and the other time I used chocolate covered graham crackers. For the tassle, I cut strips from that sour ribbon-like candy. Much easier. I also used rolo's instead of peanut butter cups for the hat portion. Great idea here!

No stores in a 25 mile radius of Waterville Maine had the After 8's anymore, substituted chocolate gram cookies...had similar issues with the icing being too runny but they are cute!

I made these for my granddaughter's high school graduation.Had no trouble finding After 8 mints. ShopRite has them. They are fun to make. I only had a problem with the icing making the tassels. Icing was a little too soft so it would not make the loop. I also added a sign reading 'Class of 2012'. Big hit...

So mad! I went to Walmart, called two Dollar Trees, Shopko, Target & Kmart, and two grocery stores. No one carries the After Eight mints or anything like them. I was going to make them for my boyfriend's nieces graduation tomorrow & got so frustrated that I gave up. Would have been cute if all ingredients were accessible. Disappointed.

I made these graduation caps last year for my grandson's high school graduation. They were a great hit with all his friends & he absolutely loved them.

I made these last year for a friend's graduation. The kids LOVED them. They disappeared fast!I'm making them again this year for my granddaughter's graduation using white minature reeses peanut butter cups, white ghirardelli chocolate squares, white M & M's and a dark blue butter creme icing for the tassle. Finding the white chocolate has been a challenge, but I did get everything I needed.
