Buddy the Elf Spaghetti

AS SEEN IN Elf

CREATED BY ChelseaLuevano

Buddy the Elf (played by Will Ferrell) is a human orphan, who accidentally finds his way to the North Pole as a baby, and is subsequently raised by an aging elf. As he grows up, Buddy finds out that he is far too big to be an elf, and Santa informs him of his true identity. Buddy makes his way to New York to meet his real father, and once living with him, tries his best to adapt to human customs, but doesn’t quite grasp them all that well. After he first sits down to a meal with his new human family, in which they ate spaghetti, he gathers that ALL humans must eat spaghetti ALL the time! The following morning, Buddy whips up a batch of spaghetti for his new family for breakfast, adding an Elf twist: maple syrup. Once they set off for work and school, Buddy sits down to his own version of the breakfast spaghetti, adding another of the elves’ four main food groups: candy.

160-200g of dried spaghetti (depending on how much you can eat!) 80ml (⅓ cup) maple syrup 50ml (¼ cup) chocolate syrup or sauce Handful of M&Ms Handful of mini marshmallows 1 chocolate Pop Tart or 3 chocolate Bourbon biscuits

INSTRUCTIONS

Add your dried spaghetti to a pan of salted boiling water. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes until cooked to your liking. Drain your pasta in a sieve or colander and allow to cool slightly for 2 minutes. Tip your pasta out onto 2 plates (or 1 if you're feeling hungry!). Pour all the remaining ingredients over the pasta. Use your hands to mix everything together well. You can use a spoon or some tongs if you don't mind the inauthenticity. Enjoy!
