Mountain Dew Moon Pie Taste Test | SNACK SMASH | Mythical Kitchen

What's up boy, Josh aka Dominic Toretto aka Brian Earl Spilner aka Oh Monica, it's that time again, you take two iconic

snack

s, you

smash

them together and see if we can create a beautiful meal, baby Yes, you want to have sex, you want to see them crushed together? and you chose Mountain Dew and Moon Pie, will this new

snack

be a hit? Find out because it is a spectacular snack. Okay, so grab your classic Moon Pie here. These are two types of flaky wafer cookie sandwich with chocolate covered marshmallow. I don't think I should try to chase what is, although I want to go after the old man.

I keep it in my pocket at all times. Don't you have it there? You have to ask, you can't afford it, okay? So we have double the vanilla. Decker Moon Pie, so these are three cookies, two layers of marshmallow, oh, who do we see cookies? They're pretty soft and pliable, lots of Anila flavor, it comes with that frosting and then it's marshmallow, so we can probably break this down into three different steps. It's good? No, I love me and Moon Pie to me, this is delicious, so we get the cookies, the marshmallows and then we have the frosting.

I think we should infuse as much

mountain

dew as possible. Trevor stop making that faith if you just can. he stops eating, it's not good, just stop eating it, no one is forcing you to do it, you're doing it of your own free will, it's not good, so I think we start by reducing that

mountain

. Dew, I sure can make marshmallows forever. He is our Baker Boy extraordinaire. He's literally the gingerbread man so I think he should make cookies and I think you should make frosting sounds good what a marshmallow is no one really knows it's like how did the

moon

get there?

Why come? Birds can fly. This seems pretty standard. one, I'm reducing the mountain dew until it turns into pure corn syrup sugar and I'm waiting for it to get to 242 degrees, which is not a softball stage, so we have mountain dew in the fog, just We will raise it to high. and then all the water will evaporate and then you'll be left with pure corn syrup and Mountain Dew flavor, which I don't know,

taste

s like mountains are like snowboarding or halo 3 or whatever, so we'll let it reduce for probably about an hour and a half until I'm really focused around eight.

We'll go ahead and bloom our jelly. Blooming gelatin just means you put it in water and it all activates when you add a heat source. it's going to turn into gelatin, you're going to whip up the corn syrups looking for exactly an ounce here, we're going to put it in 1/2 cup of water and we're just going to stir it up and that's going to act as the base for our marshmallow gelatin it smells like wet dog parts so like this It's how they make gelatin, that's why it's not vegan dog fart food. What a wonderful world you know when you throw half a head of cabbage into a garbage can and it stays there. for two weeks and he didn't take out the trash because you're waiting for your roommate to take out the trash, that's what the dog shot, if I ever smelled it we'll get our bloom jelly, so the slime ball is there, cream of tartar.

It can be really useful in a marshmallow recipe since we're working with a compound as volatile as Mountain Dew and then when you start swirling this, this is really going to work when the gelatin hardens with the sugar, air bubbles will form in there. that's what's going to give it that characteristic marshmallow texture and we should get a lot of that flavor from the Mountain Dew and turn it on and we'll drizzle it slowly and then no, screw it, we're going up now, we pray to the Snack Gods, so we're looking for about a cup of that because you guys still hear me and feel like I'm yelling, actually we'll probably increase the diet because if you think about it, that amount of color right there. that delicious yellowish urine color will expand as it aerates and they will lose a lot, but we still want it to be like a nice greenish yellow okay Sammy Wow, Mountain Dew pure syrup is amazing.

I feel like I'm on the hook with X Games gold medalist Shaun White so you can see the marshmallow sticking to the spoon Elin now spoon EULA what is that? That's not a term, we want to make it a little stricter, but I'm going to add my food 9 now because now I'll get a more accurate reading of what our color looks like, it sure

taste

s like it's close to a new marshmallow, then I'll take the marshmallow mix and I'll add food coloring just to give it that yellow-green Mountain Dew. dye, I'm spreading it on a baking sheet to put in the refrigerator, I'm going to cut it with a ring mold to be the perfect type of Mon Tune and pay sHIIP leukemia, thanks anyway, so you'll take your food, lubricant and you're going to spray a circular mold that's exactly the same size as a

moon

cake marshmallow and you're just going to cut it out.

I know Trevor uses coconut body butter in the morning. I only use Pam Mayo Myrtle's Salt of the Earth. What I moisturize is just Pam, what it does is it clogs all the pores that way the moisture can't escape and therefore it just stays there so what my dad is, that's how your dad uses it. I'm going to use it and then you should be able to, you have to hold it with your pelvis while you separate all the excess marshmallow. I know if you see this should really come off, just look we have a perfect mushroom jiske that has been completely lubricated.

Wake up with your hand moisturizer. I'm making cookies. The pie dough has a very interesting texture and is very chewy but also flaky. It's like a hybrid pie and cookie dough. I'm going to do my best to recreate it and we're going to do it without adding any butter to the dough. You might also be wondering why I have this mountain dew here and it's not just to remind me of a simpler time when I didn't know what Yoda was, it was sticky hands, okay. I'm going to start taking out flour, so I'm going to make the cookie part of the mooncake and what I'm using is a lot of flour and a lot of shortening or Crisco Crisco is the most annoying thing to measure because it's fat if it's sticky. and you never take it off your fingers once it's there, lots of corn syrups, oh oh yeah, a little baking soda, baking powder.

Mountain Dew hopefully won't spray on me and I'm doing this instead of water because it's a mountain. Mooncake with dew. I'm making a dough that I'm going to roll out very thin. Take the thing in your hand and mix the dough. I have some kind of Crisco on all my hands. Thank goodness I have this beautiful

mythical

kitchen

. towel that you can find in

mythical

calm to clean my hands and it was soft. You could use a mixer for this. I had machines that worked for me, but I like to feel in control. If a machine made a mooncake, it probably would. be really terrible because I guess that's how mooncakes are made with machines and regular mooncakes are horrible.

I love regular mooncakes. I think they are actually one of the best snacks out there. I love the way the cookie crumbles into the soft marshmallow. I love that the frosting on the outside is super thin, not a single bad word to say about a mooncake to recreate the flakiness. I'm going to roll it out really thin and then stack it on top of each other because then it's going to be a thick cookie. but it has layers. The Moonpies Twitter account, unlike the real Moon Pies, is cool because they only talk about wanting to destroy the Sun.

I think it would be wise to have someone work for me. A fight started with the Moon Fight Twitter account. Hello Moon Pad Twitter. So you want to start with meat because I hate your stupid product and they stink and don't taste good, okay, weird, nice and spread out and it's not going to stick. I'm going to take this big hit on your mount. I'm going to get rid of the excess, then we're going to give it a little bit of movement, we're going to lift it up and I'm a lame at the top and those have become our two layers and then I'm going to take the smaller ring.

I'm going to cut the size I want, then I'm going to press it until it's like a little flat disc and then I'm going to do it a million more times so I have cookies and bacon for about nine minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit Nicole is making the caramel coating hardens in cakes. I'm going to use candy wafers, also known as candy melts. I'm not going to add any real Mountain Dew to this because if I added real Mountain Dew like this, I would. really thick and weird like they don't go well together. I like making glazes and melting chocolate because it's very therapeutic and very relaxing, so whenever Josh gives me the task of making a glaze, this is my time to relax because a lot of times. in the

kitchen

I'm not really relaxing, I'm mostly working, so no, this is just my time to really reflect and meditate, think about where I am.

You know, I'm going to mimic the taste of Mountain Dew with just a touch of citric acid to give it that. like a little bitter note that exists in Mountain Dew, mix it up. I'm going to match my frosting to be the same color as the Mountain Dew bottle packaging. Like something like that. The color I'm trying to achieve is this super. Nickelodeon signature slime green yellow Mountain Dew is like 20 percent, so 80 percent food coloring. Anyone who enjoys Mountain Dew knows why this gets stuck in one part of the plan every time a specific liquid, like a room temperature liquid, hits any type of melted chocolate.

It doesn't matter if it's white chocolate, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, no, immediately, I get really stiff and tight and become a mess, you know how I told you, this was my time to meditate and relax, so study, that's it. It's not happening right now. you're powerful your Mountain Dew you were strong your Mountain Dew you're my frosting I have to do what I think went wrong I'm sure the citric acid had something to do with it I need to let this sit for a second oh never do it I think the fire was a little high, so it could have completely altered the recipe.

This is the fun part of cooking. You know you fail. At times Nichole struggled at first, but then towards the middle he continued to fight. The good news. It's towards the end, she fought even harder. I think I'm going to do this one more time, take it easy, go back to my meditative state. Okay, let me try this again. I melted it again and colored it again. I'm still trying to get it. like that beautiful perfect slime color, I'm trying to perfect what I'm going to do differently is add coconut oil, please don't disappoint me and just be patient, you know, give it a little time, fingers crossed, everyone, okay?

I'm not trying to be like you know, I'm a good cook or anything, but I did it and now we're going to frost it, we're going to put together our cookies with Josh Trevor. I'm so excited oh so we have To put these mooncakes together the plan I use plan in the loosest sense of the term is I'm going to try to melt some of these marshmallows by burning them a little bit so we're going to go ahead and burn the marshmallow and then you'll be . We are going to place the cookie on top and let it repeat the process.

Yes, sensei, wait. Oh no, there's something very primal about Josh when he comes into the kitchen and makes a lot of grunts and noises and he seems very aggressive when he's cooking, I don't trust Josh with a blowtorch because he's Josh. I don't trust Josh with a blowtorch, but it's above my pay grade to make decisions about whether or not Josh should wield dangerous objects. one word I should be alone with a blowtorch I should be entrusted with many things I should be entrusted with babies and blowtorches at the same time I could blowtorch a marshmallow while holding a baby is what I'm saying, calm down, bunny Who are you calling honey bunny?

Don't set Mars on fire, no, it's very far away. Can't we talk about younger? Hand

test

s show the danger you put yourself in. It's really shocking. Very good moment. Not a long time ago. Yes, because it is a congenital heart. The disease is hereditary in my family, why am I laughing? Very sorry. Wow, okay. Oh, what could go wrong? Everything could go wrong. Use your Albanian kidnapper and I had good luck. Okay, so I'm supposed to soak it in until you say, yes, no. stand up and down right side left well you're going to face a traffic jam like Space Jam shake it shake it no customer squeezed a kit the jiggle-jiggle harder to get Nicole to move so the proper movement technique was uh this and I was doing in this we are going to do uh-huh, teach me how to put it in there uh-huh submerged holding or turning your hand and then you are going to do this full body, full body, these are divided and then you will see that that is going to shake the Wake up at the proper movement technique that I think was perfected in the 1987 classic The Goonies, so I'm going to dip it, dip it, dip it in the evil air that created what I'm really worried about is the marshmallow because it will taste bad, I hope this cake de luna is wonderfully sticky and delicious, phenomenal, soft and delicious.

I think Mountain Dew mooncake will actually taste very good. I think we have the right amount of extreme Mountain Dew flavor in the marshmallows. I think it will be pretty good, so let's continueGo ahead and let it sit in the refrigerator right before it goes into the packaging so we all know that an unofficial snack can't be sold on the shelves without the same packaging, let's check that out, okay? have a mountain dew Moon Pies here as I call them moon 10 dune pies ever had a moon 10 make pie oh no in Minnesota they're in fashion moon 10 doing 502 look good, you tan like the moon and you're doing well We're getting 10 making cake so I want to see what they look like in the middle because from the start they look pretty similar to Trevor in front. the ceremonial cutting of the moon 10 should pay a clean hit so it's kosher it's okay to cut that half of this I didn't realize you knew I know I ruined your job that's a metaphor yeah yeah okay, it's a little hard to spit out the refrigerator okay, look it's pretty similar, we have a little more height in ours, so since the marshmallow is there, the cookies are about the same width, you see the flaky layers, wow, this is a really good job, we did it. fact it's been good this is not a mooncake made official mooncake we made it that's not good guys let's try it I'm going from the middle I'm going to get it's a taste that's just an objective fact this is much better than a normal moon prepared to hate this bactrim and punch it, you eat it, you immediately know it's Mountain Dew, if you give this to someone who's never heard of Mountain Dew, then my flavor is they say, does that mean 10 dunes and you'd say what yeah, moon 10 does it because she's a goddamn tanned dune sting like the moon?

I also like your cookies better because they actually have some fat so you lose the crumb. We have our official paddles to crush or pass. one side they crushed us yes, id, they approved us, let's go ahead and vote on whether we think this snack should be in stores or not three two one so hard that this sandwich crush may be harder than any other snack we've ever crushed I'd rather start my day by hydrating with this Moon Tan Boon Cake than just a regular amount of glass like I normally do. Thank you very much everyone for coming.
