A Perfect April Fool's Joke to Play on Your Friends

My kindergartener loves to play tricks and jokes on people. So you can imagine his delight upon discovering this idea from Highlights Magazine on how to fool your friends into eating  "cheeseburgers and fries" that are actually made of delicious cookies and other, fun sweet ingredients!

We had a St. Patrick's Day party, where he somehow (because he is sweet, adorable and enthusiastic) got me to agree to assembling these and setting them out to play a little joke our guests.



The ingredients are as follows:

"Burger patties:" thin mints or other, chocolate coated cookies
"Burger buns:" vanilla wafer cookies
"Lettuce" - shredded coconut mixed with a drop of green food coloring
"French fries" - sliced apple coated in a mix of sugar and cinnamon
"Ketchup" - red icing (smear a little on each bun to secure them to the burgers)

The idea came from the April 2017 version of Highlights Magazine. Thanks for the fun, Highlights!
