Hey guys, it’s Ro! Welcome to another Nerdy Nummies!
Today we are gonna be making something from Mario because I got so many requests
to do something again from Mario, so, today we are gonna be making
Piranha Plant Cookie Pops!
The things that you will need today will be: 1 cookie sheet, lollipop sticks,
these are the shortest ones available in the store, so just the little ones.
1 Pacman cookie cutter, I found this on think geek, I’ll put a link below
so you can go check it out if you want to buy these. But, if you don’t have 1 of these these, you can also use a
circle cookie cutter, that’s fine, I’ll show you. No big deal!
1 Rolling pin, 1 egg, 1 stick of butter, I’m using tillamook, 1 bag of sugar
cookie mix, or you can use your favorite sugar cookie recipe, some flour and a
big mixing bowl. Let’s get started!
You add a little bit of flour, just a pinch, now the fun part!
Get your hands in there and just mix it up!
You’re just going to knead all of these ingredients together, to make this!
This is a reference, it should look a little like this!
Now we’re done mashing up all our dough, now is a good time to preheat your oven
to 350, just go boop-boop-ba-doop-boop-ba-doop-boop! Done!
Now you’re gonna take some flour, take a pinch, sprinkle it on the table,
this is so our cookie dough will not stick to the table.
Sugar cookie dough is very sticky! Very sticky!
Take our rolling pin and roll it out.
Now you’re just gonna take your little Pacman cookie cutter,
or you can take your circle cookie cutter, that’s fine too!
Just cut out all the little shapes.
And then, pick him up and put him on the cookie tray.
Just make sure to spread out your cookies, because you’re gonna be putting
the lollipop sticks into the end of them, and you’re just gonna put
them right in the center, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, like so.
While those are baking, we’re gonna do some arts and crafts, we’re gonna
stick those cookie lollipops into these little clay pots. We’re gonna paint
them green so that they look like Mario pipes, ahhh!
I found these pots at Michaels craft store, they were really inexpensive, I
think they were like, 50 cents, or something like that, they were the smallest
sizes too, so, yay! Let’s get painting!
Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm!
Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm!
Let’s get painting our 4 pots!
All you will need is a paintbrush, and I found some green non-toxic paint.
I like this color the best, I’ll put the name of it down below so you can go
check it out if you’d like to use it too!
I thought it looked most like the Mario green pipe. And then you’re just gonna
paint the entire pot all the way around.
And be careful, because apparently these break easy.
Ta-da! We got all of our little pipes made, and now we are gonna make the base,
which our little piranha pops will go into. So what we're gonna do is I pre-made
brownies, everybody loves brownies!
And you just take a spoonful of brownie, and stuff it down there to make
it really compact. The reason I’m using brownies to stuff in here, is because
they’re really, really thick, and they’ll hold that cookie pop in place.
Some people, I’ve seen them use cupcakes, they’ll put a little cupcake in
here, but they’re really soft and they… The cookie will just fall over!
Just stuff ‘em in there! The more brownies the better! I’m gonna leave a little
bit of space in here, so there’s room for a little bit of chocolate frosting topped with
Oreo dirt, om-nom-nom!
So what you do is we’ve got chocolate frosting, just gonna do is take a
little bit, put it on top, schmooth it around,
so that our Oreo will stick to it.
Now I’m gonna sprinkle Oreo crumbs on top of all this, chocolate magic!
Here we go! Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!
Oh my god it looks so good!
To make this Oreo blend is really, really easy, all you do is take
an Oreo cookie, open it up, and then you scrape off all the good stuff.
I know, right?
And then you throw them in the blender, and it will turn into Oreo cookie dust!
And then you’re just gonna do ‘em to all of the little pipes.
Ta-da! Our little Mario Pipes are done, they came out awesome!
They smell really good, like chocolate heaven, and I want to eat them right now!
Our little piranha cookies are done, just make sure they’ve had plenty of time
to cool, because if you pick them up while they’re still warm, this little
stick, the lollipop stick, will just fall right out of them!
You can even put them in the fridge to make sure they’ve completely cooled.
These are food pens, they’re pens that are edible, we’re drawing directly on
the cookie, but we’re gonna be using the green pen to color the stem,
the lollipop stick. We’re gonna color it green so that it actually looks like
the vine, and just go ahead and noo-noo-noo-noo-noo-noo-noo!
And if it accidentally touches your cookie, it’s OK because it’s edible!
I wonder what it tastes like, I haven’t even tasted it.
Oh… Doesn’t really taste like anything.
Now we are going to frost our little piranha cookie red. I’m using royal icing,
which is the technical cookie frosting. And the first thing that we’re gonna
do is trace an outline. And start in this corner, around the entire edge,
and then we’re gonna fill it in.
Once you’ve got all of your cookies frosted with the red royal icing,
we are gonna take the regular white frosting, and I put a tip on the end of it,
it just screws right on. This is a number 2, just in case you were wondering.
And now we are going to draw the white lips of the piranha and his little
polka dots!
Ta-da! Now that we’re done frosting, we’re just gonna stick him into our little
Mario pipe, find the middle, and then push down with the stick.
Don’t push down on top of the cookie, because he might break off.
Push down on the stick. And then, oh he’s so cute!
For the last and final step, I’m gonna be adding little leaves to our
Piranha cookies!
I found these, they’re icing candies, at Michael’s craft store, but if you
can’t find these, if you’re not near a Michaels, you can also use these.
Little gummy spearmint leaves, so these are a backup, in case you don’t have
the first ones.
You’re just gonna take 2 of ‘em, and stick them righting the dirt.
Ta-da! And do that for all of them.
Ta-da!
Our Piranha Cookie Pops are all done, thanks you guys for suggesting something
Mario again, because these are so cute!
Yum-yum-yum-yum-yum!
