Graduation Cupcakes

You'll need Reese's Peanut Butter cups, Airhead Xtremes, mini M&M's, and at first I bought Ghirardelli chocolate squares for the caps, but they were a little too big. So I made my own chocolate squares using chocolate candiquik.
I made the chocolate squares just how I made them for the cake pops with square molds. And you will need some of the melted chocolate to fasten everything together.
Peel the wrappers off of the Reese's, but it helps if you stick them in the freezer first. Then the chocolate won't stick to the wrappers. Cut the Airhead Xtremes into pieces, pop your chocolate squares out of the molds, and then you're ready to assemble your caps.

    Oh my gosh! These are so cute. My son loves chocolate and peanut butter and he is "graduating" from 8th grade, so these would be perfect!
