I"ve made these for years as well. I use Oreo cookies for the pattie. The white cream from the oreo cookie becomes mayonaise. I prefer using red and yellow frosting as ketchup and mustard, along with the green coconut.

Simply magical! Kids adore these and it's so easy to be creative with them! I admit, I was scared they would look great but not taste that good, but I was wrong. Because I love caramel, I was planning on substituting the keeblers caramel cookies (as per other reviewers). I'm glad I couldn't find them. If you use the peppermint patties for the "burger", the taste is similar to thin mint cookies, but even better. I used yellow and red tinted icing for "mustard" and "ketchup". I forgot to get gum drops so I omitted the "pickle". The fruit rollup "cheese" added a nice chewy texture to the mix. Finally, I forgot sesame seeds so I used some chocolate sprinkles I had on hand...I used a touch of water/corn syrup mixture on top before putting on the sprinkles to make them stick better. I guess I had poppy seed buns. :) Everybody at the Easter family get-together I took these to were thrilled and took pictures of them. Thanks for this great idea!!

It was a great hit for kids and my neighbors:) My husband thought they really were mini hamburgers when he saw them on a plate on kitchen counter...! I followed some viewers' suggestions to use Keebler's Grasshopper cookies as hamburgers and red and yellow icing as ketchup and mustard, I forgot sesame seeds for bums, they still looked like hamburgers:)

Easy to make and a big hit. I did them for a curling club end-of-season potluck. I'll be making more for our bake sale next month. I didn't bother with the gumdrops or fruit leather. Instead I did as others did and used icing with red food colouring plus the green-tinted coconut. As others suggested, I used small dabs of honey to help make everything (including the seeds) stick.

I've been making these for almost 30 years (since my kids were little)! They are great for summer picnics, birthday parties and to take to any event with kids! I made these for a nursing home BBQ and they were a big hit! Keebler Grasshopper cookies work very well as the 'burger' and I tint coconut green to use for lettuce and red fruit leather to use for the tomatoes. The sesame seeds on top make it look authentic. I use a tiny bit of honey to make them stick

It's funny, but we used to make these in college (back in the late 80's) for our Sunday School classes and then for our kids when we were doing our student teaching. I hadn't made these in years though and had all but forgotten about them until I saw these in my e-mail today! We used to use marshmallow cream to get the patties to stick to the bottom "bun" and sometimes would add a little red & yellow food coloring for the top dollop to get the "lettuce" to stick in order to make it look like the "special" sauce added on a big mac. We were always able to get small french fry bags (called kid-sized now, I think) from McD's back then (don't think you could now probably b/c of legal reasons) and we'd slide the "burgers" in along with some potato sticks (those wafer thin ones that you can get in cans in the potato chip aisle) for a truly happy "meal". Thanks for adding this and bringing up many happy memories from my college days over 20 years ago! :)

This is an adorable idea! Went across well at a kids outing at church. For the veiwer who gave 3 stars because she "couldn't eat them"--get real! Rate the recipe as written, not your personal issues. That is the one thing about this site that aggravates me!

the IDEA & DESIGN was the best but the flavors did not sound appealing to me. So i changed it up. Still looked so cute. i used nillas, oreo fudge cremes (thats all they had at store other then grasshoppers) and frosting as condiments. they tasted great that way.
