Our home economists needed just a few items to create these cute chocolaty caps that guests will gobble up. The tasty treats are a snap to assemble by topping brownie cupcakes with mortarboards made from chocolate-covered graham cookies. A red licorice tassel adds the fast finishing touch. Ingredients:
1 package fudge brownie mix (13-inch x 9-inch pan size) |
48 fudge graham cookies or graham cracker halves |
1 cup chocolate frosting |
48 pieces red shoestring licorice |
48 skittles bite-size candies |
Directions:
1. Prepare brownie batter according to package directions for cake-like brownies. Fill paper-lined miniature muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350° for 21-24 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely (remove paper liners while cupcakes are still warm).
2. Slice 1/8-in. from the top of each cupcake to level. Invert cupcakes; attach a cookie to each with a small amount of frosting. For tassel, place a licorice piece and a candy on top of each cookie, attaching with frosting. Let stand until set. Yield: 4 dozen.
