Graduation Party Fun Food

Wednesday, May 21, 2008, by Sherra

The graduation party fun seems to be all-consuming for families with seniors (and families with kindergarteners?).

The Grunter has made this all a little too easy for us since he’s not participating in the ceremony and didn’t want to have a party.

I’d feel more guilty about it if he hadn’t made a lot of other things really hard for us and in case anyone forgets, we will have TWO more seniors next year. I’m pretty certain they’ll be walking in the ceremony and want a party too. I’ve heard that I need to start the planning now. (Giant SIGH)

Here’s a little last minute tip for those supermom party planners (i.e. my friend Leigh Anne) who need just one more thing to do for the party…luckily these are super-easy graduation treats for the food table and you can never have too much chocolate!

I’m putting this is my “party file” for next year. (Yeah, sure, I have a party file.)

Our neighbor had these at her son’s party over the weekend and they were gone by the time we arrived. She was nice enough to email me the instructions and the link. Thanks Marla!

Aren’t these just too stinkin’ cute?!

Grad Caps

Miniature peanut butter cups
Frosting or peanut butter
Chocolate-covered graham crackers
Fruit leather

Step 1
Place a miniature peanut butter cup, bottom up, on a plate. Top with a small dollop of frosting or peanut butter, then press on a chocolate-covered graham cracker.

Step 2
For a tassel, tightly roll up a small square of fruit leather. Cut fringe on one end and attach the other end to the center of the graham cracker with another dab of frosting or peanut butter.

The idea comes from FamilyFun.com

Sidenote: Someone on the website suggested using mini m&m’s to hold the tassel.

There’s even a video if you need help assembling them. Seriously…let me know if you needed the video.
