These chocolate graduation caps are an easy, no-bake treat to make for a graduation party.  

If you have a graduate in your family, you're probably awfully busy right now.  Not a whole lot of time for whipping up elaborate treats, which is why I kept everything really simple for Colleen's graduation party.  

Including these chocolate graduation caps, which took only seconds to put together.

Materials for Chocolate Graduation Caps:

• Reese's miniature peanut butter cups
• Ghiradelli chocolate squares
• a bit of melted chocolate or icing

Note:  I used caramel filled chocolate squares, because they're absolutely delicious.  But they're definitely weaker than some of the other varieties.  Solid versions are a better bet.  (Though then you wouldn't get to eat the broken ones.)

Unwrap the chocolates, turn the peanut butter cup upside down, put a dab of melted chocolate or icing on top surface (the bottom of) the peanut butter cup, and set the Ghirardelli square on top.  And you're done.

 I had some royal icing sitting around, so I piped little icing tassels, too, but that is completely optional.  they look like perfect little chocolate graduation caps even without an added little icing tassel.
