Growing up, we enjoyed big family BBQs for Independence Day followed by an amazing fireworks display by the local university. We children would make these for each 4th of July. With 15 cousins, an easy-made sweet treat was always on the menu.The buns are made from Nilla wafers. A thin layer of red icing (the "ketchup") is spread on the bottom "bun" and a peppermint pattie is pressed on top. Coconut dyed green give us the lettuce, and yellow icing ("cheese") sticks it all together. For added cheeseburger authenticity, the top bun can be brushed lightly with water then sprinkled with poppy or sesame seeds. Enjoy!
