Graduation Candy Ideas
A graduation is a tremendous accomplishment. Whether you are celebrating a graduation from nursery school or a graduation from college, graduation candy is a fun way to show the graduate how proud you are of them. Add sweet treats to your party or celebration to represent this sweet occasion.
-
Molded Chocolate
-
Place a pound of chocolate in a bowl. Use any type of chocolate that you like. Try chocolate chips or chocolate bars. If you use chocolate bars, break into small pieces. Microwave at half power for one minute and stir. Continue this process until the chocolate is completely melted. Spoon the chocolate into the graduation-themed molds. Try molds that have the year of graduation or a graduation cap. Place molds in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes. Once they have set completely, turn mold upside down to remove.
Personalized Candy
-
M&M's offers personalization for special occasions. The personalization allows you to choose the color, the message or picture and the packaging. Try ordering M&M's with the year of graduation or a picture of the graduate.
-
Candy Bar
-
Remove the label from a candy bar. Measure the removed label and use these measurements. A full-sized Hershey bar wrapper is 5 inches wide by 5-1/4 inches long. Adjust the settings on your computer to print at the appropriate dimensions. Try printing a congratulatory graduation message or pictures of the graduate. Attach to the candy bar with tape.
Graduation Cap Lollipops
-
Place mini Reese's peanut butter cups in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes and put a dab of melted chocolate on the top to hold the lollipop stick in place. Place lollipop stick directly on the melted chocolate. Place chocolate squares in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes and apply a dab of melted chocolate to the center. Place a mini M&M on the melted chocolate. Put another dab of chocolate on the top of the M&M and attach a two-inch piece of a sour straw candy to create the tassel.
