Graduation season is in full force right now. Colleges are just finishing up graduations and High School and Middle schools are starting to wrap up classes and Graduation will be upon us so quickly. My daughter brought up the fact that for the next 5 years we will have 4 different graduations.

I need to get a little clever with my treat ideas. Since we don’t have family in town I don’t throw parties for elementary or middle school graduations. However, when high school graduation comes around,  I better start planning. I still have 4 years for this.

 

In celebration of all those graduates in 2016, including my daughter who will be graduating 8th grade in a few weeks, I made these Yummy Graduation Hat Oreo Ball Treats. Who can say no to an Oreo ball, it is crushed up OREOS with cream cheese covered in chocolate. Have some fun with me and make some Graduation Cap Pops for your graduation parties too.
