For a polished presentation, use a piping bag or small decorating tool to apply the chocolate frosting. To prevent the cookies from sliding, consider chilling the assembled caps in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to allow the frosting to set. Feel free to personalize the cookies with different colors of licorice and candy-coated chocolates to match school colors or preferences.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Tassels: Cut the red string licorice into 2-inch pieces and gently pull them apart to create individual strings. Set aside for later. (5 minutes)
02
StepAssemble the Caps: Place one miniature peanut butter cup upside down on a clean work surface. Add a small dollop of chocolate frosting to the top of the peanut butter cup. (5 minutes)
03
StepAttach the Mortarboard: Carefully center one chocolate-covered graham cracker cookie onto the frosting, creating the mortarboard shape. Gently press the cracker onto the peanut butter cup to secure it. (10 minutes)
04
StepAdd the Tassel: Place a tiny dab of frosting in the center of the graham cracker. Attach one end of a licorice string tassel to the frosting, allowing the tassel to gracefully drape over the edge of the cracker. (15 minutes)
05
StepSecure the Button: Position a candy-coated milk chocolate piece in the center of the cracker, covering the end of the tassel to act as a decorative button. (5 minutes)
06
StepRepeat and Decorate: Repeat the assembly process with the remaining candies and crackers until you have crafted 50 adorable graduation caps with tassels. (20 minutes)
