Little bitty candy cup graduation caps. Airheads Extremes Rainbow Berry Sweetly Sour Belts! Ummm… Can you say mouthful? They make perfect tassles and give you color choices at the same time. Just cut apart each color strip with a knife.Now, grab a bag of miniature Reese's peanut butter cups. But, before you unwrap them, stick them in the freezer for a few minutes. It will make it easier to remove the wrapper and keep the sides looking pretty when you do.If you remove the wrappers while the candies are room temperature, the sides sometimes come off with the wrapper. But that's okay, because these rejects taste good.After you unwrap them, place all the cups on a sheet of wax paper and let them get back to room temperature. When the chill is gone, dip the end of your lollipop stick in some melted candy coating and carefully insert into the candy cups. If they are too cold, the cups will split apart. Just insert the sticks about halfway and let dry.Now, work on the tops. I used small Godiva chocolate squares. They aren't the cheapest little things, but the proportions were perfect and because they were individually wrapped, the edges were clean. Just draw a thin line of candy coating on top with a toothpick and glue on a short piece of the candy belt and a rainbow chip sprinkle in the same color to match.When the tops are dry, glue them on the candy cups using some more of the candy coating and insert into a styrofoam block to finish drying.Cute!
