What you'll need:
Vanilla Wafers (buy 2 boxes just in case you have a lot of broken pieces)
Thin Mint cookies (Girlscout cookies work fine, or I believe Keebler makes a knock off)
Red Frosting and Yellow Frosting (or white frosting and food coloring)
Sweetened Flake Coconut and Green Food Coloring
Sesame Seed
Sugar/Water
Potato Sticks (or as my daddy called them: shoestring potatoes)
Directions:
Organize the appropriate number of Vanilla Wafers on a platter or cookie sheet. You are just putting down the bottom buns right now.
Place the Mint cookies on top of the ketchup and mustard and press down gently forcing some of the 'condiments' to smoosh to the edges of the bun and become visible.
Place another small dollop of ketchup and mustard (yellow and red frosting) on the top of the 'beef' (mint cookie).
Pour approximately 1 cup of coconut flakes into a zip lock baggie. Add a few drops of green food coloring and share vigorously until the coconut flakes appear perfect to imitate lettuce on your burgers.
Take a pinch of lettuce and drop it onto the condiments.
Take a vanilla wafer and place it on top of each burger. Press down gently and the vanilla wafer will stick to the frosting and cause the smooshing out of the condiments again. Things should be looking fairly realistic at this point.
Add a pinch or so of the potato sticks so your hamburger appears to be nestled in a little basket with french fries on the side.
ENJOY!!!
