Dinner or Dessert?

It was my Dad's birthday this past week and I wanted to make something to bring up to celebrate this weekend. I had the day off today, it was a nice break to be able to bake again. It seems like it's been forever since I baked something fun.

So, here's what I made, aren't they cute?


I took the idea from a couple places, first Family Fun (which by the way, is just a fun website anytime you need inspiration on creative foods) and the second is the always inspirational Bakerella, if you haven't heard of her then you are surely living under a rock.

It's pretty easy to make these, just take some time and in my case some improvisation. Basically you need some brownies, Nilla Wafer cookies, and frosting.


I didn't have sesame seeds or coconut so I used granulated sugar on top of my buns as the "sesame seeds" and then just green tinted frosting for the lettuce.


After you assemble the ingredients and cut out your brownie "patties" you can assemble the hamburger. I did mine in stages. First pick out the best cookies in the box and put down a layer of "lettuce" then the "patty" brownie, followed by "cheese/mustard", then "tomato/ketchup", and finally the top bun.


Super easy and fun...hopefully everyone enjoys them up at the lake tomorrow!
