Mini Cookie Burgers!!

How cute is this!! For Fathers i saw these and thought i have to remember that!!
The Burgers are cookies... Vanilla wafers, green Coconut for Lettuce, Frosting for the Mayoniaise and Mustard. Vanilla Wafers and Chocolate chips for the meat, but i saw the meat done here with brownies! Much better idea!!!

Here is the recipe:
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.
Can also use brownies for meat.

Christmas Advent Calendar

Okay, so just in case you are asking, YES... i do know that it is March, and YES i do know that Christmas is in December.... But i say- Why not celebrate Christmas ALL Year!! You've heard of Christmas in July?? Why not Christmas in March???

So here is my advent calendar made from a muffin tin-- i cant take all the credit, i stole a similar idea from my friends house, she had a valentines themed one(which was super cute, and also another good idea). So here is my finished project!!

So, first you need a muffin tin with 12 cups(just in case you didn't know), and you will also need flat magnets, they sell them at Walmart or any craft store. The magnets are a little bit thicker than a piece of paper and they come in packs of two or in a roll and they are sticky on one side.

*Just a side note-- i bought a muffin tin that had a little bit of a thicker edge at the top and the bottom, this gives you more room to put a little piece of paper that says "12 days of Christmas."

First-- you need to cut the circles out of the magnet, so that they fit OVER the muffin cup. You need to have the circle a little bigger than the actual cup so that it can stick to tin. It is okay if some of the circles overlap, btw- you will need 12 circles cut out of the magnetic stuff. Here is a suggestion, if you have a compass to make the circle use it, if not i personally found a cup from my kitchen that fit over holes, plus left a little edge... and then i traced it on the magnet paper.

Second-- after i cut all 12 out, then i used some scrap paper that i had left over from scrapbooking, and i peeled off one side of the magnet, and then stuck the paper to it, and cut around the magnet so that way they were both the same size. Then i embellished with more paper and ribbon-- and i stamped the numbers on them. Just don't make the circles too heavy, because other wise they wont stick when the tray is standing up-- I just set mine on an easel to stand it up straight.

Third- I used my cricket to cut the 12 days of Christmas thing, but you could use stamps or wonderful penmanship(if you were blessed with that, i wasn't!!) I used two pieces of paper embellished them and then put a long strip of the magnet strip that i had left over from the circles, i placed the strip on the back of the 12 days of Christmas tag.

Viola!!! Easy!! And it only cost about $10!!!
