Pac-Man Pellets

By Elena Stidham

1 ½ Cups Flour

2 Splashes Vanilla

½ Stick Butter

3 ½ Tbsp Sugar

½ Tbsp Baking Soda

1 ½ Cups Milk

1 ½ Cups Brown Sugar

Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes. After, let the cake cool for 15 minutes then mash it into crumbs. Put in 1 block of cream cheese and mix thoroughly. Once mixed, make small balls of about one inch wide and put a stick in (not all the way). Freeze the balls with the sticks for 30-40 minutes then ice them with yellow icing (white icing dyed or lemon) once completed. After icing, put in the fridge until ready to serve.

“Pac-Man” is a classic arcade game that kids of all ages played at some point in their lives. The objective of the game is to eat all the pellets on the screen and not be killed by the ghosts chasing you, and many have wondered what the pellets tasted like. I made this recipe myself, and I am very pleased with how it turned out. It’s incredibly sweet and if this is what the pellets tasted like, I can see why Pac-Man was so obsessed with eating them all. I would recommend everybody to try it at least once and it would make a great party favor for fans of video games or just for a tasty treat.

I was extremely proud of myself for this recipe, I made it myself from scratch for the first time in my life. For it to turn out as delicious as it did told me that I understand baking on an intermediate level. I'm in no way a professional, but this makes me glad that I have the potential to be. This recipe is also open-ended to other flavours, such as chocolate or strawberry or caramel or whatever else suits your fancy. If this is something that can be a regular party treat, then it works!
