Whatever, Bob, Just Crash it!

I love April Fools day. It is a "holiday" right up my alley. I enjoy making others laugh, and enjoy a good prank. This year I ended up making two different kitchen specialties for the day.

I came up with the perfect April Fools prank this year. I really think it's perfect. For those of you looking for something to do next year, try this. Just beware the repercussions. I have been threatened that I will pay. I can't hold my breath the entire time, and I'm hoping these people forget, but you never know. Lucky for me, I'm just as quick to laugh at a joke played on me as on the next guy.While the texture of my chocolate chunk cookies wasn't quite the norm, they looked appetizing enough. These cookies were left in the break area at my job with an encouraging note which read, "Chocolate Chunk Cookies - Help Yourself!" I'm a little sorry to tell on them, but the men were the easiest targets here. Evidently, they cannot turn down chocolate any more easily than women can, they just prefer it delivered in baked goods. One additional caveat, they prefer those goods be baked with sugar, and that the chocolate not be unsweetened baker's chocolate. Poor guys...I missed the memo that day. ;)

Additionally, we attended a game night the Saturday prior to April Fools day. The idea was to take an April Fools day inspired food of some sort. I have never had more fun assembling food. These are also by far the most adorable food I have ever created. Behold, my mini-burgers.

My burgers have buns of vanilla wafers, and grasshopper cookie meat patties. There is lettuce made from green coconut, mayonnaise, ketchup and mustard icing, tomatoes and pickles made of candy fruit slices, and the best little touch, cheese slices which were really squares of yellow fruit rolls. Served with shoestring potatoes, you've got an entire combo meal.
