Welcome to the BBQ.
Hey guys, what's up? MY name's Alyssa.
And I'm Xavier.
And welcome back to another...
- Summer Snackdown! - Summer Snackdown!
Where we put together some of the craziest snack ideas ever1
And you guys get to comment down below
and tell us what you want in next week's mystery ingredient.
Yeah, last week you guys commented some insane things!
I'm so nervous, I have no idea what I'm gonna get!
So Alyssa, what's your favorite Summer Snack?
Oh, definitely hot dogs! How about you?
Hot dogs, I like the burnt ones, you know, at the summer cookouts.
Maybe not the burnt part.
But today we have a totally epic Summer Snackdown for you guys!
Oh yeah it is!
And this week we have a brand new topping,
- mac and cheese! - Oh!
And make to stick around to see what the mystery ingredient is
that you guys picked for us.
Alright, so in order to make these super cool hot dogs,
we need to make the mac and cheese ball toppings.
You will need a toaster oven,
a baking pan that fits inside of the toaster oven,
some delicious mac and cheese, breadcrumbs, flour, two eggs,
some water and salt and pepper.
I'm so excited, I think I'm always hungry.
Step one, you're gonna get some leftover mac and cheese
and it'll probably work better if it's baked,
then it would be more solid
Step two, we are going to add our salt and pepper to our breadcrumbs.
- Alright, don't be scared. - Hey, hey, I'm adding too much!
Give it a little swish around.
Step number three, make sure you have a bowl of flour,
we'll be using it later.
Step four is to add a quarter cup of water to your eggs.
Adding the water to the eggs will thin it out
so that it'll stick better to the mac and cheese.
- Can you give me a fork, Alyssa? - Yes, I can.
Alright, we got it, we got it.
Step five, this is one of the really fun parts.
We get to make the balls out of the mac and cheese.
Step six is all about dipping.
Something really important to remember here
is that you should keep one hand for all of your dry ingredients
and the other one for all of your wet ingredients.
This way you don't combine things and everything becomes really mushy.
Dip it in the flour,
roll it around like a snowball to get all the edges
and make sure you really have a solid ball
so that it doesn't, you know, fall apart in your flour.
Bring it around town!
Bring 'em around town!
Next, with the hand that's gonna be wet,
you're gonna put it inside of your egg mixture.
Roll it around in there.
You're kinda using like the wrong hands.
You said to alternate hands.
I'm putting it in with this hand, shaking it out with that hand.
- Correct? - No, but it doesn't work like that!
Look at my hands.
Put it in your breadcrumbs, cover it up...
Wow, that's skill right there!
You want some help?
No, I can do it, I can do it!
Pull the roll.
Oh, so now you want my help?
You wanna spray some non-sticking spray onto your pan.
Transfer your mac and cheese balls onto the pan.
Let's make some more though!
I think this is a good meal for the 4th of July.
Mmm, yeah, that sounds like a good idea, like for BBQs or kinda things like that.
- Barbecue, barbecue! - Barbecue, barbecue!
- Barbecue, barbecue!
Do you have any 4th of July plans?
I really wanna go swimming on the 4th of July, so that's a must.
Comment below on what you guys are doing for the 4th of July!
- Yeah! - Do you guys like fireworks or not?
Maybe you just like to eat, 'cause that's what I like to do.
Now that we're all done with our mac and cheese balls,
we're gonna put 'em in the toaster oven.
Set it to 400 but make sure you have an adult with you.
I'm gonna go get some mittens.
We're gonna leave these bad boys in for 20 minutes.
While they're cooking, we should probably clean up a little bit
so we can get to our hot dogs.
They smell so good!
So, what's your favorite part of the summer?
Probably just like the freedom and like not having to go to school.
- You get summer projects? - I think I might have a few for--
Oh, they're done!
Now we have to get them out but carefully!
Now that our macaroni and cheese balls are done,
it's time to make the best hot dogs ever!
Here is what you will need.
First up we have our grill, I like to call it The Grillay
- I've never heard you call it that. - Yes you have.
- I called it that yesterday. - OK, what's next?
Alright, we have our plates, hot dogs, our beautiful mac and cheese balls,
hot dog buns and we have our beautiful toppings
and then we have our condiments.
Alyssa, I just want you to try this, it's really sweet.
- What is it? - It's like a nice, sweet pepper.
Scared.
- Yeah, you're scared 'cause I lied. - About---
- Oh my gosh! Ah, it's spicy! - Oh, wow!
[screaming]
I dare you to let me squirt this in your mouth.
My bad! I-- it was by accident!
I think the yellow really compliments my hair now.
Mustard hair, it's beautiful now, it's fine.
Step one, we are going to grill our hot dog.
Let's make some room!
I feel like Mr. Krabs.
Make sure you use tongs
and you are also doing this with a trusted adult.
Don't worry, guys, I grilled this.
[laughing]
If you look, the lines are already showing up.
Give it a really cool like summery effect.
Burn it a little bit more.
In case you guys didn't know, Xavier really likes burnt hot dogs.
We have a cool trick to show you guys to make your hot dogs seem longer.
Cut it in half and make sure you have an adult with you.
Place your hot dog into your bun and put it at the end.
And as you can see, they're not touching.
Look, now it looks even longer.
Now we're on step three, this is the fun part!
We get to accessorize our hot dog.
This is gonna be a masterpiece.
Add on a bunch of fun toppings.
Look how like extreme this looks.
Oh, I forgot the mac and cheese balls!
Where am I gonna fit these? This is insane!
How are you gonna eat those? Those are so spicy!
Oh, he's adding more ketchup!
Copy cat!
Copy cat? I'm just influenced, I'm inspired!
It's all fancy now.
Alright, so let's dig into these hot dogs!
Mmm!
I didn't even get to the fun part yet and it already tastes so good!
How is it?
I'll take that as a "good."
What do you think this week's mystery ingredient is?
Hmm, I don't know, I'm scared though.
Hopefully not like candy or anything.
These actually turned out really amazing and the toppings on top--
Make everything better!
These mac and cheese balls are really good.
I know.
It's time for... Mystery Ingredient!
You guys comment what you guys want us to have every week!
Let's get to it!
Oh!
That's why it smells like that.
I got baby spinach.
I got chips.
Do they smell good?
That's strong.
We have a time set on the clock for us to add these to our new hot dogs
and see what we can come up with.
- Excuse me, you're in my way. - You're using the grill?
I need to use that!
I'm gonna make this so good, Xavier's gonna be like,
- "Whoa, this is tasty!" - No, I'm not.
- Ay, no! - I'm grilling my spinach.
- You can learn how to share! - Who does that?
Whoa, he's like cutting it-- OK.
Chef Xay in the comments section, that's all I wanna hear.
We got 20 seconds.
Time is up, time for us to eat out hot dog creation!
I need to know where the trash can is 'cause this is disgusting.
It has too much ingredients.
Too much? That just makes it even better!
Mmm.
- Crunchy, duncy, munchy, right? - It's pretty good!
Saucy!
But it could have had more ingredients, it was kinda too simple.
Alyssa did a good job, the toppings are beautiful.
It tastes like something that came from The Chum Bucket,
like Plankton made it.
So comment down below who you think won this.
Team Alyssa or Team Xavier if you really want to but...
It's Bonus Snack time!
What better way to celebrate 4th of July, than with our 4th of July Fruit Cups?
You're gonna need one parfait cup, one spoon, cut up strawberries,
blueberries, raspberries, raspberry jam, mint leaves, whipped cream
and American flags and napkins
and whatever other 4th of July decorations you guys have.
Step one is to spoon the raspberry jam into the bottom of your cup.
Step two, put strawberries into our cups.
So step three is to spray your whipped cream.
First you gotta spray it in his mouth.
Chill out!
Now it's time for step number four.
We're gonna place our blueberries in the cup.
Step five is to spray your whipped cream into your cup.
- Alright, alright, alright! - Just helping out.
There you go.
Step number six, we are gonna add on top our raspberries, mint leaves
and 4th of July decorations.
- And more whipped cream. - And, if you want, more whipped cream.
You know how the first man landed on the moon
and then he put the flag in...
Guys, look, mine looks like a smiley face!
My two eyes and my nose and like my mouth.
Mmm, so good!
You have like jam at the bottom and like the whipped cream
and then you have the hard fruit on top of it
and it all just really goes together.
- I can tell Xavier likes it. - I really like the fruit.
- Oh, wassup! - I tricked him!
Yeah!
