Leprechaun Hamburgers

Last month, during one of Hope's "booth sales", at which we stand outside (or inside if it's too windy) a grocery store and sell Girl Scout cookies, someone gave us a great idea! Thin Mints, he said, are great for making Leprechaun Hamburgers. My friend, Kristen, and I listened intently and, last night, made the cutest St. Patrick's Day treats for our kids' classes.


Here's the recipe:
Nilla Wafers (bun)
white Frosting (mayo) on the bottom bun
Thin Mint (burger) on top of the mayo
coconut tinited w/green food coloring (lettuce) - put on top of thin mint
red and yellow icing (ketchup and mustard) - squeeze both around edge of top nilla wafer, put on top! (you can also use sugar water and stick sesame seeds on top - we weren't that ambitious!)

The guy at the grocery store was probably in his early 20s. I have no idea why he knows how to make Leprechaun Hamburgers, but, I appreciate the idea!!
