Sweet Mini "Burgers"

As Delicious as they are Cute! Memorial Day... The Official opening of summer grilling season, picnics, backyard get togethers, and fun food! These Sweet "Mini Burgers' are a favorite summer treat to make. One of our girls even won a prize at a Summer Dessert Bake Off with these. See below for ingredients and directions.

Upon close inspection, you will note that this is a simple way to make a cute and yummy treat. Great presentation!

Green Coconut="Lettuce"

For each "Burger" you need:
2 Vanilla Wafers

1 Mini Chocolate Peppermint Pattie

Coconut that has been dyed green (just a pinch of coconut on each)

Water

A Pinch of Sesame Seeds

Procedure:

1) Dye the coconut (set aside)

2) Open the Peppermint Patties (set aside)

3) Count out 2 Vanilla Wafers for each (use the ones with the smooth and even edges)

4)Place One Wafer, top side down, on a cookie sheet

5) Place one peppermint pattie on top of wafer

6) Place in 350 oven for 2-3 minutes- just until chocolate gets shiny and is ready to melt

7) Remove from oven (work fast here)

8) Place Pinch of coconut on top of peppermint pattie

9) Gently press the second wafer on top of the coconut and pattie. Press gently so pattie will not crack open, yet firmly enough that the melted chocolate will stick to the top wafer.

10) When "burger" is assembled, using you finger tip, make a small dot of water on the top center of the "bun" and immediately sprinkle a pinch of sesame seeds in the wet spot before it dries.

I usually use 2 boxes of Vanilla Wafers and 2-3 bags of peppermint patties for a large crowd.

Enjoy!
