This recipe looks like a platter of hamburgers and fries, but it's really a brownie and cake dessert! It's an unforgettable surprise, and great fun for parties or even April Fool's Day!

SERVES 10

• Ten 6 oz. clean tuna or similar size pineapple cans, greased and with labels removed (An adult should make sure there are no sharp edges on the cans.)
• 1 yellow cake mix
• 1 brownie mix, baked to 1-inch thickness
• 2 Tablespoons corn syrup
• Red and yellow frosting
• Sesame seeds
• 2 kiwis, peeled and sliced
• Sugar cookie dough (homemade or prepared from the refrigerated section of your grocery store)

BURGERS:

1. Prepare and spoon cake mix into cans, filling each can half full. Bake according to cupcake directions on box, adding a few minutes to bake time.
2. When slightly cool, wedge cake out of cans and cool completely.   Slice open each "bun," brush the tops of the "buns" with corn syrup and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
3. Use one of the cans as a cookie cutter to cut a round "burger" out of the baked brownies to fit the "bun".   Set each cut-out on the bottom half of the "buns."
4. Drizzle some red and yellow frosting on the brownie to look like ketchup and mustard.
5. Place sliced kiwi along side to resemble "pickles."

FRIES:

1. Make 1-inch accordion folds on a sheet of heavy aluminum foil and set on a cookie sheet with folds slightly spread apart. Spray with non-stick spray.
2. Slice and mold sugar cookie dough into 2-inch strips to resemble French fries.   Set each strip in a groove on the foil.
3. Bake according to recipe directions until golden. Cool on cooling rack.
4. Serve with frosting "ketchup" on a platter with the dessert "hamburgers!"
