Faux Fast Food
Two drive-through faves get a candy-aisle makeover.
Yield: Makes 1 faux burger and faux fries
BURGER:
- 1 cupcake
- Handful of tootsie rolls
- Yellow taffy
- Red gumdrops
- Green fruit-leather
FRIES:
- Sugar cookie dough
- White sanding sugar
- For the burger: Cut a cupcake in half horizontally. Shape a handful of Tootsie Rolls into a round "patty." Using a rolling pin, flatten yellow taffy into a square of "cheese." Flatten red gumdrops and cut out "tomatoes" with a cookie cutter. Add green fruit-leather "lettuce" to the cupcake base; top with the patty, cheese and tomatoes. Cover with the cupcake bun.
- For the fries: Roll out sugar cookie dough 1/2 inch thick and cut into strips. Place on a baking sheet and sprinkle with white sanding sugar. Bake according to package directions and let cool.
