Hello everyone!!! How are you today? I am doing surprisingly great today! I just packed everything I own except my laptop and my bed into a moving truck. Moving usually exhausts me emotionally and physically, but I am actually doing great! We had awesome neighbors come help us load the truck and we got everything loaded in less than and hour. Pretty painless. I do have that strange butterfly-in-the-stomach feeling that comes with starting something new or ending something. This time of year is full of changes. Three years ago around this time of year I got married.This is the time of year when I started all my jobs, moved long distances, and welcomed in the summer. Five years ago I graduated from high school and I just recently barely graduated from college. To celebrate this time of changes, I am sharing a fun recipe for candy graduation hats. My sister in-law made these for my husband’s graduation. Aren’t they cute! I wish I had a better picture to show you, but I just couldn’t resist showing off her creations.
Ingredients:
- Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups-Bite Sized
- Ghirardelli chocolates, or some kind of square, thin chocolates
- Brown M&M’s
- Frosting in what ever color you want
Directions:
1. On parchment paper, place the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups top down, so the small part is facing the top.
2. Put a small dab of frosting on top of each peanut butter cup. Place a Ghirardelli chocolate square on top of the frosting so that the writing is face down.
3. Pipe a tassel from the center of the chocolate square off the side of the hat, so it looks like a tassel hanging. Place a brown M&M at the start of the tassel on top of the hat. Repeat until you have the desired amount of cute little graduation hats.
Good Luck to everyone in any new adventures you might be embarking on. The next time you hear from me, I will be in Ohio!
These are sooooo adorable! They were a big hit when you made them at some party at Beth's house. I like how simple they were to put together. My kind of cooking!
