Ingredients

• Cupcake Mix
• Icing

3. Ice the cupcakes with one of the school's colors or white.
4. Pour sprinkles of another one of the school's colors (mine was blue) into a bowl.  Dip the edges of the icing on the cupcake, rotate, and continue dipping until sprinkles are completely around the cupcake.
5. Once the chocolate coated wheat thins are hard, place a wheat thin on an unwrapped Reese's with icing on the bottom of the Reese's.
6. Cut out a thin sliver of the desired color from the fruit roll up or fruit leather for the tassel
7. Ice the side of the M&M with the M on it and place it down on the top of the hat with the tassel in between them.
