April Fool's Pierogies and Sausages

I don't know if you get in on the April Fool's day shenanigans at your place but we like to get pretty tricky around here. We went all out with our April Fool's A&W and KFC treats a while back and wanted to do something just as fun (and tasty, of course) this year. 

I knew instantly when I made our Red Velvet Donut Fries with Cream Cheese Frosting that I was going to make something for April Fools Day with them. They just really really really looked like sausages. 

I decided to use my Kitchen Mate Patty Trio to make some peanut butter sandwich "pierogies". 

I rolled the bread out thin with a rolling pin before pressing it in the cutter. I then dabbed a few bits of cocoa powder on the outside using a small paint brush to make it looked cooked. 

I used cashew halves to make the "fried mushrooms" ...

I also dabbed a little cocoa powder on them with a small paint brush to give them a cooked look.

Then I used white jelly beans to make the "fried onions"...

I squished the jelly bean with a rolling pin, then cut it into strips, then dabbed a little cocoa powder on a small paint brush and dabbed it randomly on the jelly bean strips. 

I then placed the "mushroom" and "onion" strips on top of the "pierogies". 

The "sausages" are simply a few of our Red Velvet Donut Fries. Nothing extra needed to be done to them. 

They already look like sausages. 

Go HERE to see how to make those. They are delicious, by the way. Even if you don't want to make an April Fools treat you should make them. 

Just sayin'

So... in summary... here are the ingredients you will need to replicate our April Fool's Pierogies & Sausages: few cashew halves

3 - 4 white jelly beans

1 tsp of cocoa powder

few slices of Dempster's white bread

few Tbsps of peanut butter

several Red Velvet Donut Fries (recipe HERE)

Happy April Foolin'
