Ingredients: 1 box (12 ounces) 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)

Make It

Step 1

Reserve 48 wafers for bun tops and bottoms.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Combine coconut, water and green food coloring in small, resealable plastic bag. Seal bag and shake to coat evenly with color.

Step 6

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.

Note:

* A 12-oz. box of vanilla wafers contains about 88 wafers.
