graduation candy bark

ahhh! 

i can hear the pomp and circumstance now.

graduation season is upon us.

and so are those expensive grad gifts.

what's a poor person like me to do 

who knows so many graduates?

 hmmmm...

hey i think i know!

 with all that hard work, 

i think those graduates need a graduation treat don't you?

let's do it with this:

mini m&m's, mini reese's cups, 

chocolate squares, s'more marshmallows, 

candiquik (or almond bark) and red icing.

first let's get the candy ready.

break the chocolate square with your fingers, 

not a knife or it will crack everywhere.

once you break the square, 

you can trim it off a little.

here's an awful pic (sorry!)

to show you what i mean. lol

no worries about the edges being perfect-

they'll be hidden as you'll see in a minute.

so each triangle gets a mini m&m.

i chose blue to match the graduate's school colors.

next comes the marshmallow prep.

now get all that stuff ready to go.

then melt your chocolate and 

put it on parchment paper.

then grab those "embellishments" along 

with sprinkles to match the school colors.

then finish off the grad hats.

i just added the tassel with a 

toothpick dipped in chocolate that i melted for the base.

next, do this but do it better than lamo me! 

ugh. i failed piping school many a time.

i need to graduate from piping school already...

anyway, there ya have it.

wanna diploma and a hat to go along with it?

marshmallow diplomas and reese's grad hats 

may just be the motivation for kids to finish school.

ok so maybe not 

but it sure would work for me! lol

p.s. for all you bloggers out there,

what's up with this?

5271 views in one day?!

there's noooo way this could be true?! 

i don't even social media. 

and yeah, i meant that as a verb.

oh well...
