- My name's Ashley and today, I'm gonna test some
of the most pinned Halloween foods from Pinterest.
Every year, Pintrest rounds up their top most viral pins
for the Halloween season, and I picked three
of those food items that I'm gonna make today,
to see if it's really worth it.
Do they look really cute?
Do they taste really good?
And are they practical to make?
Now, I am not a chef by any means.
I am pretty far from it, but I am an avid Pinner.
They claim to be that anybody can make these,
and you can totally make them and bring them
to your next party.
I'm gonna see if that's true. (laughs)
(mystical chimes)
The first recipe that I'm doing are these Pizza Skulls.
You know pizza rolls that you make in the microwave?
Imagine a really big version of that
and it is shaped like a skull.
Let's do it!
First step is to unroll the pizza dough
and press into a five by 10 inch rectangle,
and cut into six strips.
That's not a rectangle.
Oh my gosh, what was when all the continents
were put together?
Pangaea!
That's kinda what this looks like.
Okay, there we go.
That's what I'm talkin' about.
I'm using the word rectangle loosely, here,
because this is a little blobby,
but it's pretty much a rectangle.
And now we're gonna cut it into six strips.
I was a little skimpy with this last piece of dough.
My rationing was a little off.
I'm skeptical about the amount of dough it tells you to use,
because right now, these strips are pretty thin.
This is actually a very easy recipe.
It's basically just making pizza
in this glorified muffin tin.
There we go, that's what I'm talkin' about.
Now we're gonna fill our Pizza Skulls.
Sprinkle with a little cheese.
Define "a little cheese", though, you know?
A little cheese to me is probably a lotta cheese
to somebody else.
I'm gonna do half of the skulls with meat,
and half of them without meat.
Now, I'm just gonna fill up the rest of the
skulls with cheese.
I'm definitely noting which one is the cheesiest,
and saving it for myself.
Now I'm gonna put it in the oven at 375,
for about 20 minutes.
The skulls have just come out of the oven.
The dough looks tasty.
They don't look like anything from the back side,
so I have to take them out of the mold to see
if it actually looks like a skull.
(drum rolling)
Wow!
You can't see this, but everyone around me is like (gasp)!
- [Woman] Those look amazing!
- Thank you!
- [Ashley] Will you try my skull pizza?
- Okay, sure.
- This is really cute.
- I would be impressed already by the look of it.
- Whoo!
- Mmmm!
- I like it.
It's hot!
- Pizza rolls on hydraulics for Halloween.
This is dope.
- I did notice that the ones with meat in them
are much greasier, and they're a little bit messier,
and the skull doesn't look as clean.
So if I did this again, I would probably do just cheese
and sauce, because these look really neat and crisp.
Obviously, this goes without saying,
but the Skull Pizza is definitely Pin-able.
(mystical chimes)
Now onto recipe number two.
This is Chicken Boo-dle Soup, haha.
I made bow-tie pasta because it's supposed to
look like a little bats.
The next step is to dye the pasta black,
and we're gonna do that by putting all this pasta
in a big Ziploc baggy with a lot of black food coloring,
and then shaking it around.
There we go.
Now I'm gonna cut the vegetables into cute little shapes.
Cut two shallow lines about 1/4 inch
apart from each other.
(disk scratching)
Whoa, okay this blog goes from peeling and chopping
Bam!
It's a pumpkin.
There are a few visuals that are missing from this.
Two shallow lines.
Okay, I think I'm getting it.
Uh...
It's not easy like at all.
So I've kinda got the grooves that should create the stem.
Hopefully, pumpkins will emerge from this but I don't know.
I'll believe it when I see it, you know what I'm saying?
(gasp) No, that's so cute.
Oh my god.
Very excited about this.
That shit is cute.
And then next, I'm gonna cut the celery,
and I don't really actually need to do anything,
'cause when you chop up celery, it looks like a little moon.
Celery is not really looking like moon.
At all. (laughs)
(energetic music)
- There is a lot going on.
- Oh, they're like little pumpkins here.
Did you cut them?
- I love the black noodles.
- I'm scared of the noodles.
- It's odd.
- The look is cooler than the taste.
- This way, it looks like a mushroom.
When you look at it this way, it looked like a pumpkin.
- Chicken Boo-dle Soup is Pin-able.
(mystical chimes)
Now, we're onto third and last recipe,
and those are some deviled eggs that are meant
to look like little alien eggs.
Gently crack the hard-boiled eggs with a knife,
or by rolling them on the counter.
I'm gonna try the counter method first. (gasp)
(laughing)
I was like, "These are never gonna crack!"
So now we only have five eggs.
I'm afraid I'm gonna put my thumb right through
this whole egg.
I don't know what to do.
Okay, I'm gonna try the knife method.
(tapping)
Oh, this works, okay.
Looking like little dragon eggs.
So we boiled our eggs, we cracked our eggs,
and now we're gonna color the eggs.
(energetic music)
Now it's time to peel these eggs and see if
all of our hard work paid off,
and if this really cool pattern is on there.
Wow, that is so cool.
I'm very happy about this.
Now, basically I'm just gonna make deviled eggs.
(energetic music)
- [Woman] Deviled Alien Eggs?
I love it.
- These are so pretty.
- How'd you get that pattern?
- That is really good.
- This would be a crowd pleaser.
- Very in-theme, but also tastes great.
I would totally eat this at a Halloween party.
I'm really happy about it.
The Deviled Alien Eggs are definitely Pin-able.
I have been on Pinterest long enough to know
that there is some Pinterest BS bein' pinned around there.
But these totally work.
They were super fun to make, they tasted really good,
and they look even cooler.
What more can you really ask of a Halloween recipe?
