Check out this do-it-yourself burger dessert.   The fries are cookies, buns are delicious cake, and the meaty burger is a brownie.  Thanks to Bryan Phelps for the picture and also for forcing me to think more about dessert burgers.

Toll House offers a nice little recipe for your own:

Ingredients:

  • 1 box (12 oz.) vanilla wafer cookies*, divided
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
  • 1/2 teaspoon water
  • 3 drops green food coloring
  • Red and yellow decorating gels (for ketchup and mustard)
  • 1 teaspoon melted butter (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)


Directions:
RESERVE 48 wafers for bun tops and bottoms.

PLACE remaining wafers in large resealable bag. Crush into small pieces using a rolling pin. Combine wafer crumbs (about 1 1/2 cups) with powdered sugar and salt in medium bowl.

MICROWAVE morsels and milk in medium, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on HIGH (100%) power for 45 seconds; STIR. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until smooth.

POUR chocolate mixture into wafer mixture; stir until combined. Cool for 10 minutes. Line baking sheet with wax paper. Roll mixture into 24, 1-inch (about 1 tablespoon each) balls. Place each ball on prepared sheet; flatten slightly to form burger patties.

COMBINE coconut, water and green food coloring in small, resealable plastic bag. Seal bag and shake to coat evenly with color.

TO ASSEMBLE:
PLACE
24 wafers, rounded side down on prepared baking sheet. Top each wafer with 1 burger patty. Top each burger patty with 1 teaspoon colored coconut. Squeeze decorating gels on top of coconut. Top with remaining wafers. Brush tops of wafers with melted butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.

* A 12-oz. box of vanilla wafers contains about 88 wafers.

TIPS:
• Recipe can easily be doubled or tripled. Great birthday or slumber party activity.
• Cut apricot fruit rollups into small 1/2-inch squares to create cheese for the mini burgers.
