MK 417: We Made Cheetos Drumsticks And It’s Actually Amazing

Gahh, is my face red? Bring it in man. Keep pushing. Oh, we got a umbilical cord. What up, it’s you boy Josh, aka Jorts McSkorts, aka Chill-Bo Baggins, aka Chester Cheetah’s second cousin. He comes to the reunions but he’s really weird about it. And it’s that time again. Time to take two iconic snacks, smash ’em together, and see if we can create a beautiful food baby. Now we asked you which two snacks you wanna see smashed together and you said… Cheetos and Drumsticks. Oh, you are sick, you people out there. Sick, twisted. Sick thoughts. Sick. Sick thoughts. Sick and twisted. And I love that about you. Tell you what, I love a drumstick, though. I, Where’d you find that? You just, oh, that’s been out on set deck for a while and it is melted. That’s how I like it. Gimme, just gimme some of the chocolate. Will this snack be a smash? Find out, ’cause this Is Snack Smash! We’re back, season 9. Alright man, so we gotta make Cheeto flavored drumsticks. Okay. Now I’m a big fan of these bad boys. Why are they all so melty? ‘Cause it was sitting on the counter. Here, have a Cheeto. Is this from your pouch? Uh huh. When was this apron last cleaned? Anyone have an answer to that? No. Do you think we’re gonna be able to… Just reaches right down there. They’re good, they’re good. Upper, the upper mons pubis. Um, is that what it’s called? Anyways, drumstick, you got, you got the mons pubis. It’s like the mound. That’s the name of the mound, right? Drumsticks, infuse the Cheetos, flavor like Cheetos. We’re getting that sweet savory ice cream territory. Yeah. We’re going with the classic drumstick. I feel really great about the Cheetos drumsticks. Cheddar cheese and ice cream are a natural combination. I don’t care what anyone says. So we got a bunch of milk and cream. It’s a half and half ratio that we’ve steeped in a ton of Cheetos to make Cheeto milk cream. And a brick of Parmesan? Yeah, so one, we can rinse this off and use this Parmesan later. Why? And I will, I will take that home and use it. That’s my boy right there. Love you, Josh. We’re gonna temper in some eggs. You wanna help me strain this into the popper so we can heat this up? Yeah. Dude, I licked my fingers after grabbing that parm brick. I’m already liking it. I’m already liking what I’m feeling. Oh, that’s warm. Yeah. That’s nice, hold on. I scalded on the milk. Yeah, you keep, keep holding that. Keep wiggling it, keep wiggling it. Okay. Big fan of milk scalds. Yeah, we might need a little bit more ’cause we’re getting a lot of the dairy trapped in the Cheetos. So I’m gonna rain some dairy over the Cheetos fresh. That’s nice. We could have cheese clothed it. This is the old, ahh, man. Sorry, my fault, I shouldn’t have brought up a better way to do this. Here, hold strong. Like really tense your core. Trevor, tense. There you go, like you’re reeling in a Marlin. Yeah, there it is, I like that. I have never reeled in a marlin personally but I have a lot of fantasies about doing it. And I know that the way I do it is going, Ohhh there I got me a live one! Uh, you wanna start taking the egg yolk. So we’re doing an egg yolk, custard ice cream base like all glaze ice cream base. That means you’re taking egg yolks, you’re whisking sugar into it. Then you’re gonna slowly stream in hot liquid to form a custard. I don’t think Drumstick is doing this process in the old factory. And I know that because the first ingredient on a drumstick is just, uh, partial dairy solids. And I don’t know necessarily what that means. Our dairy is mostly liquids. Wait, they dropped a new dairy. We’re gonna add cheddar powder in there ’cause we wanna reinforce that cheese flavor and get a lot of salt. Wowser. And then this is guar gum which is just gonna help it ’cause we want this to set inside the ice cream cone, right? Yeah. So the guar gum that’s added to a lot of commercial ice cream bases. And then a lot of salt. Salt, if you’re making homemade ice cream add more salt than you think you should. ‘Cause that makes it good. I have no fear right now. No. Like, we’ve done snack mashes before where I’ve had fear. I’m like, how are, this is not, not looking good. But this one I have no fear, I’m excited. Uh, tis ingredient combo is interesting. Savory ice cream is really good and a lot more people should try it. So I’m feeling pretty good that this is a real shot. Do you feel confident with this? I’m just gonna hold it, put it on the… Okay, go, go, go, go, go. I’m trying, I’m trying, but it’s, the bowl ain’t big enough, the bowl ain’t big enough. It’s gonna go flying. Josh is terrible at tempering things. And this is classic Josh. Josh, I can’t even see what I’m stirring. Trevor, if you just eff-ing… He thinks that you can just, if you just crank the heat high enough and you stir hard enough, that everything’s okay. I can’t see it. Would you eff-ing calm down. I’m eff-ing calm right now. But, I’m also incredibly impatient and that often leads to bad things in the kitchen. Pop this in the ice cream maker. Just go for it, man. We can add it hot? Well, I’m gonna let you make that decision. You’re the boss. You did it. How much should we add? What’s the, is there a max fill line? Probably. Am I past it? Probably. Alright, well we’re gonna turn the ice cream maker on. See what happens. And then, uh, I don’t know, start making some waffle cones or whatever? Yeah! Making waffle cones sucks. This is about to suck, flat out, I’m telling you now. Dude, Josh, if a vampire got in here, he’d be so after you. Oh, I vant to suck your butt! You know, haha, it’d be so crazy. Hey, speaking of vampires, they come from Transylvania which is modern day Romania, which is an international country. And November 30th is the international shipping cutoff date for ordering mythical merch from mythical.com for you or your loved ones for Christmas. I was gonna say the holidays, but no, the cutoff would be for Christmas. Right? Cause like what… Make sure to order all your mythical merch before November 30th, thank you. We we’re making waffle cones. Yeah. We’re okay, good good. That’s why I have this weird thing. Oh okay, butt plug, yeah, I got it. So we’re, we’re adding the wets to the dries, whatever. We got egg whites here, we’re adding it to sugar. We’re just gonna get this whisked up and combined. And again, I hate doing this. I have struggled with waffle cones my entire life. A lot of family trauma behind waffle cones. Yes, I was lying about my waffle cone based traumas. I lie about fake traumas to ignore my real ones. Okay, this looks like salt. Yeah, it’s pretty good. Yeah, it’s just like one in every five works. Ooh, I missed a piece. And then the rest of it, you’re just frustrated. Cheddar powder. Cheddar is also a slang for money. Yeah, Cheddar cheesecake sometimes. Get that bit of of flour. Okay, go slow go slow, okay. Okay, well you’re whisking it all out of the bowl, brother! No I’m not, I’m whisking it to the sides of the bowl. Oh my God, it’s all over your hands, it’s right there. I’m trying my best, I’m trying my best. And then butter. Melty butter. I’m gonna go a little half, let you wist that in. So the reason this batter should work is that it’s very heavily sugar based. And sugar, when it heats right, kind of gets that caramelly runiness. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then when it seizes back up along with the butter the idea is you get a little thin waffle and then you fold it and then you, like, gotta hold it there in the cold and then it just keeps its shape because the butter and the sugar have all cooled down. My waffle making strategy is nonexistent because I don’t make waffles, because waffle irons suck to use. But if I’m making a breakfast food at home, it’s pancakes or french toast. ‘Cause those are way easier to do. But the key is you want to get lube, right? Yeah, lube it up. Lube it up a little bit up, brother. Just a little bit. ‘Cause otherwise it’ll start sliding. Alright, now I’m gonna put, I’m gonna like, place it there. Yeah ’cause it’s gonna push it forward. Yeah, push it forward. Is this hot dude? I have a hot fear of of waffle makers of any variety. And go, go, go, go, go. Really shove it down, really shove it down. Now we wait. Aight! Ohh! Beans! Oh, darn. Can’t even work. Oh, fudge. Just do it in post. You saw that like only half of the waffle iron was covered with batter and it was thin and had holes in it. So there just definitely wasn’t enough batter in there to make it a whole waffle cone. Just going back to the well here, let’s do some, let’s do less. But this is so, it has holes in it. You don’t force it down. It has holes in it. You don’t force it down, I said force it down. You telling me to shove it down. Here, let’s gently rest. Gently rest it, and then this is gonna fail. And then we’re going back to the well. Okay wait, gimme some though. It’s nice, you can tell that, like, crispiness in the middle. We did make a good waffle cone we made a nice thing. Wait, this is better than a waffle cone. What do we do? This is the invention. Oops, I dropped my Cheetos drumstick. Can I take this home for a salad? Do whatever you want. You’re like my boss. I’ve a, I’ve a lot of leadership… abilities. This is a good example of being a good leader. You! Do better. I’m not humiliating you, I’m elevating you. Why are you doing that? Do this. See, it’s called delegation, Trevor. So, ’cause, ’cause what we believe in is like lateral integration. To leadership someone, now, if we break down this word, leader is Latin for, to lead, of course. And then ship actually comes from shep for shep-herding. So they are the sheep. And I am the shepherd. I take my cane and I ring it around their necks. And then I throw it and I have dogs chase them the way they need to be. And, and, and… Waffle cones done. No, no, no, this is gonna work. Dude, dude, I’m going right in with my hands. It’s not, it has so many holes. I’m going right in with my hands, I’m going right in with my hands. Get, Trevor, where’s the butt plug? I don’t know what’s going wrong with the waffles. Do you know what’s going wrong with the waffles? We have a recipe. The recipe worked yesterday. Was it the humidity? Like Mauna Loa existing beneath the ocean. Did a volcano rise above Burbank, California and place us into the stratosphere? I have no idea what’s going wrong with the waffle cones. Josh, we have to finish this freaking snack smash before the last drumstick falls from back there. Yes, so after all the drumsticks have melted and the last one falls, then we remain YouTube chefs for the rest of our lives. Never to be free of this beastly coil. Alright, y’all think it’s done? No, maybe? Reverse slow clap. God damn, son of a… So, um, this is a good lesson in cooking. When something doesn’t work, you make adjustments and then you turn all the cameras off. And you try and figure it out. Turn the camera, can you turn, Taylor, turn the camera off. Taylor, do not, Taylor do not point that camera. I am serious right now, Taylor. Taylor, I swear, one more. No, one more, no, don’t follow me. Don’t you dare. Don’t, don’t, get ’em outta my face. Get ’em outta my face. Taylor, no, I swear to… how do, where are the buttons? Where what does this, what does this button even do? Do you even, do you even know how to use this? You know what’s so crazy? What? That right after I screamed at Taylor to turn the camera off, we made four perfect ice cream cones. Wow! That’s so crazy, Taylor. Josh… Next time just step up in the face of adversity. Keep the cameras rolling, okay? Thank you, appreciate you. Just once I would like to make it through an entire snack smash without having a bruh moment. Oh! Bruh! Cute for laughing Annalise. Um, a bruh moment is like when you, something happens. And then the first sound that plays in your head is bruh sound effect number two. That’s it. This is like the bootleg. They’re called candy melts. No buh buh buh buh. But these are the good brand. Oh… These are the Ghiradelli. So we’re making this because we need to fill the bottom of the cones to give it the little… Yeah. But I don’t wanna keep saying… No, just the base. The base, the base. And all it, just nevermind. Just the tip, you’re just gonna fill the tip. I want you to know that I stopped myself from saying something dirty, but it is also just a good safety tip. So I feel like I have to say it, but I know I shouldn’t. Well, you can’t leave us all hanging like that. I know, I’m just saying if, just make sure there’s a base on it for safety. Alright, so… Bruh. We’re just gonna add cheddar powder to this and then we’re gonna try and, like, make it look like Cheetos. Yeah, just like Cheetos. Cheetos with chocolate, Cheetos with chocolate. Yeah, go ahead, get in there. Can you, okay, but if the cheddar doesn’t get there you’re just gonna dump a bunch of food dye in it. I’ve got, look, I’ve done this. I’ve got got a lighter orange, a darker orange, and a yellow. Great. So I’ve got all the tools, gotta trust me, man. Well this is, this is going pretty well. Yeah. Not like me talking and, and entertaining and filling airspace. You’re doing great. You’re a champ. No. Leadership. Here’s the thing. Anything that Trevor does technically because of me ’cause I leadershipped him. And so that’s just, you know, Josh, check it out, it looks like a little penis. Well, Josh leaderships me every day. You know, I wake up in the morning and Josh’s leadership is right there next to me. I come into the office and he leaderships me all day long. And then when I lay down in bed at night, tucked into my covers, he leaderships me one last time before I go to sleep. I’m just going, I’m just going off on my own. I think that works. Oh my God, you’re crazy. Drop a little more, drop a little more, drop a little more. Josh, you’re so crazy. ‘Cause the cheese, when you work with chocolate and you add anything to it and it just becomes like tough. I’m gonna whip Cheeto in there. You were a pastry chef. Yeah. Why come this does? Uh, cheddar batter. Okay, this is looking pretty good, though. I think it’s liquidy enough to where we can dip and we can fill the cones. Oh, come on, just, yeah, that’s fine. That’s fine, it’s fine, it’s fine. I gotta, I need, like, a stick. Shove it, use a stick. We need a shoving stick. Lilly, a shoving stick. The most underrated tool, of course, in ice cream making is the shoving stick. So you have a stick to coat the the ice cream and you just really have to take the stick and just kind of shove it into the hole. But then also do some circular motions. And then don’t neglect the bottom. And then you just kind of… Oh yeah, we’re kinda of jimmy it Can you see me and just kind of… Like an old timey musket? Jam it down like an old timey musket. And apparently we’re like in a region of Scotland that doesn’t have a standard Scottish accent. That’s why I sounded like this. We’re used to Glasgow. I thought you said Costco. Costco, Scotland. I am from Costco, Scotland. I buy Haggars in packs of 35. Oh hey, get the ice cream, get the ice cream. Oh, frick. Alright so we’re coating the inside of these to make it not sog. And now we’re gonna fill this with ice cream. We’re gonna, what’s he, what’s that a… is that a Fortnite dance? I don’t know what he’s doing. Trevor’s energy is that of a golden achiever who’s seen some stuff, you know they still have a fair amount of light behind their eyes. It’s almost both fatalistic and optimistic at the same time. Which I really love. Now what we’re doing, we gotta take ice cream. This is that cheddar ice cream and put it in a piping bag. Well… Suck. Nope! Suck that. It’s like a baby cow on the teat. Right on the teeth. The, uh, the energy in the kitchen when, when we were filling those cones, it was very primal. Now we’re gonna squeeze the ice cream in. Oh God, okay, it’s too frozen. The only option is to warm it up with my hands. I was gonna… Oh, and I don’t want to do that. You wanna incubate it? Why is this apron signed? Why did we sign one apron? It’s for Pat. Who is Pat? Who is Pat and why didn’t we give them… That’s my signature. I signed this apron? Yeah, I, we all signed it. Who is Pat? I don’t know. Pat, I’m so sorry, man. Pat, this should be you. Uh, well yeah, alright. We’re just gonna… Sorry. Now, you don’t want to do this, do you? Is this what you planned on? Yeah! I hate that this is working. Can anyone see this? Wait, wait, let me get up. Hold on, hold on, I’m gonna get up on the counter. Yeah, yeah. So they can see it. This is probably smart. Yeah. Listen, sometimes cooking isn’t as clean as you want it to be, you know? There you go, keep filling, keep feeling, push. Push! Push! Push! Okay, okay, you got one more in you, buddy? Yeah, lemme just, lemme just… Yeah, yeah, yeah, kinda… Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the contractions are quickening. Push! Aaahh! Is my face red? Bring it in, man! Bring it in man, keep pushing! I’m gonna turn the cone, I’m gonna turn the cone. Okay, stop stop stop. Alright, oh, we got an umbilical cord. That’s why they call him Thunder Thighs Evarts. Quick, Josh, get up, we gotta go, God dang it! Are we rolling? Wait, the cameras are on? Tell the we’re doing, go! Tell ’em! The cameras are on, holy smokes. Alright we gotta work quick ’cause we’re using ice cream. We got some Cheetos. So the deal is we got the cheese, Chee, Chee Ice cream cone. The chocolate, the dip of the chocolate. Put, put in the Cheetos back in here. Put ice cream, go! Wait, get that spoon outta there. What? I don’t know, I thought we could put it, my idea was like put it in here and kind of do one of those. Oh, you’re freak. Yeah, dude. What the heck, dear God. Yeah, I got, I got this, I got this, I got this. And then we’re just going right in here with the Cheetos. Against all odds I think this is gonna smash. I mean it all blends together in a really nice way. I’ve been, uh, I love savory ice creams. I think they’re really good and I think it’s gonna be a smash. Hey there, lemme try, lemme try, lemme try one. We got six of ’em? Who was eating these? Kinda who, what, come on! Everybody out there, who wants to eat these? Woo! Yeah, more people, more! Hey, now we got a crater in here. Yeah, that’s what happens when you shove around objects into it. This is looking good. Why do you think it’s called a crater? Yeah, I just want, what do you mean why is it called a crater? I actually don’t know. Because round things like go into the dirt and then make big holes. You’re implying there’s something etymologically about crater that makes a specific… I’m taking ’em to the freezer, shut up! We’re done, we’ve done it, by golly! We have made the Cheetos drum drumsticks! Trevor, get back in frame. Trevor, get back in frame. Trevor, right now. Oh no! Trevor, I won’t… Now watch me you! Freezer won’t close. Trevor, oh my God, I swear, I swear to God. If this happens again, Trevor, can you just make it work? I can’t, I don’t know. Trevor, how can I empower you? Tell me how I can empower you. Is this not going in farther? Why, why do we have so much frozen Indian food in here? God dang it! No, it’s got, there’s, there’s like 19 pints of ice cream. What the! What is there? The drumsticks, ahhh! Dude there’s like 15 french fries back there. Oh, my arm is stuck! Ah, shoot, get the butter. What had happened is we found that a bag of french fries spilled likely three to four years ago. And there were a bunch of frozen french fries sort of gumming up the gears. I had to kind of just jam my arm in between a couple of the drawers. And we tried to close it. The french fries was, was kinda sticking and… And my arm was stuck. Trevor, get, I swear to God, get in frame. Alright, Trevor, so the Cheetos drumsticks are done and that means the only thing left to do is to… Cut pack Packaging! Ice cream outta the freezer, we gotta eat it fast. We have our Cheetos drumsticks here. Holy smokes, look at that packaging. Lily, you’re an impartial judge. Us three will vote whether or not the snacks matches or passes and then that gives Nestle the opportunity to buy the idea from us for $16. Alrighty, Josh, wow. So pretty. Wow. It looks really good, it looks really good. Lily. I feel nervous about it though. What do you feel nervous? Wow. That’s Cheetos, but we’ll see. Can we do anything to calm your nerves? Um no, I don’t think so. What if we, like, screamed at you, like… Can you sing to me? Sing what? Oh, the only, oh uh, ♪ Happy birthday ♪ ♪ to you. ♪ I feel, I have more anxiety after that. Haha, me too. Ah. Oh, they’re cold. Why is it good? That’s so good. Can I say something that I don’t think we’ve ever successfully done on Snack Smash? This is significantly better than both Cheetos and Drumsticks, but like, this is better than an original drumstick. Actually, yeah, it is. This should have been the original drumstick. They fudged up. I gotta, tongue’s not getting the ice cream out. ‘Cause the ice cream is so good. That’s the thing is that drumsticks are, like, a little too sweet Mm hm. In my opinion. And this is like, the saltiness from this is offsetting that, so. It is not weird at all either. No. It’s a really pleasant mouth feel. We got the white chocolate or the Cheeto chocolate at the bottom. Lily sucked the butt. The tip. I’m eating a butt. There’s nothing wrong with having two consenting adults as long as it’s safe and you’re having a good time. We’re still gonna decide if this smashes or passes. Should we get out the paddles? This is a formality. It’s a, of course, it’s a formality at this point. Everyone put ’em up, put ’em up, put ’em up. Alright, alright, alright. Yeah this is, um… Should we do a flip or do we even care? Yeah, whoa, what are we gonna… 3, 2, 1 smash! Yeah. Hard smash. I’d smash this every day of the week, twice on Sundays. I’d let this smash me. This is like literally one of the best things we eat on the show. Like, this is just a hell of a product. If you did it in a factory and you got the factory chocolate and it was a little bit thinner, then that would be better. Yeah, yeah. That’s the one part because we can’t get the chemical chocolate that gets like really thin but sticks together. No, it’s perfect, it’s perfect. It’s perfect. Lily, what did perfection mean at your last job? I don’t know, that’s why I left. Fair enough. Set reasonable expectations. Communicate in a clear and reasonable way. That, and that’s called leadership. Leadership. Leadership, baby, leadership. Truly, guys, thank you so much for chowing down on these. I think we really created something special. If you wanna see your snack smashed on the next Snack Smash, smash that like button. What the hell was that? That was good. No, that was good, it was clean. I just started vomiting out words and that came out. That was clean, dude. That’s how we’re gonna end the video. Yeah, send it.
