Cap off the school year with these cute cookies. I actually did make these cookies with my kids' help. They are so cute and easy! Your child can help you put these together.
Chocolate Mortarboard Cookies
Put a miniature peanut butter cup, upside down (narrower end up), on your work surface. Then with a drop of frosting or peanut butter, stick on a small rectangle shaped chocolate-covered cookie/graham cracker (right side up) on top of the peanut butter cup.
For a tassel, you can either use frosting in school colors to draw it on or use a tightly rolled up small square of fruit roll-up. Cut fringe on one end and attach the top end to the center of the graham cracker with more frosting or peanut butter. I personally think it's easier to use the frosting to draw on the tassel. Or leave it off altogether. People get the idea that they are mortarboards.
You can also try this idea for a cute treat, that looks like a diploma!
Mix up 8 oz, of softened cream cheese and 1/4 cup of seedless fruit jam. Lightly spread the cream cheese and jam mixture on a flour tortilla or Lavash bread, then roll up each sandwich diploma style and tie on a ribbon made of cut up Fruit Roll-ups. Adjust to fit your chosen size. Mixture makes 4 to 6 sandwiches. Easy and yummy!
"You're a Star" Watermelon Pops
Cut slices of seedless watermelon about an inch thick, then use a cookie cutter to cut star shapes. Insert a Popsicle stick into each star, then put the pops on a baking sheet covered in foil or in a tupperware container. Cover the star pops with another sheet of foil and freeze for 1 hour or until firm. You can also do this with cookies, by putting them on a stick before they bake.
MUD CUP TREATS In clear plastic tumbler-type cups, layer crushed Oreos first on the bottom, then chocolate pudding, more crushed Oreos, gummy worms, spiders, bugs, candy rocks, and a flower stuck in the middle so that it looks like a flower planted in dirt.
Other ideas include any kind of finger foods, some better for outside parties:
