Sliders … teeny weenie hamburgers … on cupcakes? My sliders aren’t hamburgers at all … but I’m sure you knew that. They are made with Nilla Wafers, York peppermint patties and candy coating. The cupcakes … well, it is summer … I’m lazy … I used a mix … but I did make my favorite decorator icing (recipe above – all butter version).
This is what you will need to make the sliders … Nilla Wafers, small York peppermint patties and candy coating (frosting could also be used) – red/ketchup, orange/cheese and green/lettuce … I happened to have some candy in tubes (which is very handy, but not necessary) …
This is just like building a real burger … get your buns (Nilla wafers) and hamburger (York) patties ready … put some ketchup (red candy) on the bottom bun …
Then put the hamburger patty on the melted candy … add some melted cheddar cheese (orange candy) on top of the patty …
Don’t forget the lettuce (green candy) … and the top bun … your sliders are cooked!
Now, for the cupcakes … bake your favorite recipe or mix … make your icing … I used a bag and a plain round tip (#12) …
This is the voice of experience … do not make your icing and put it in the fridge … then try to pipe it out of a bag while it is still cold (like I did) … or this will happen … a hard skinny line of icing comes out of the tip … it breaks … it has some pretty big air bubbles … it is pretty ugly … let your icing come up to room temperature (or at least close) …
But help is on the way … sprinkles will save the day! Sprinkles are a wonderful invention and cover a multitude of boo boos …
Place the sliders on top of the cupcakes …
I believe that if some sprinkles are good … more must be better!
SWEET SIMPLE STUFF 
love it!

The Burger Sliders are fantistic. i think they would be great just by themselves. Can’t wait to try them.

The little burgers would be cute by themselves … since they are made with peppermint patties, would you serve them as after dinner mints?

Yes, that would be a great after dinner mint. But I would also serve them as a snack for at our poker games.

If you sprinkle on sesame seeds to just the top “buns” they look even more like hamburgers and really the seeds have no taste! I use coconut dyed green for lettuce too!

I agree with you … the first time I made these many years ago that is what I did … but I had 4 people in my house that didn’t like coconut and came up with this version.

Why thank you … but I have to admit that I didn’t invent it. There are many versions out there … each one is a little different. 😉
