I made Reese’s bologna cups for my kids today as an April Fools' prank. They both fell for it.

I made chocolate chip cookies for my boys two years ago, and I added spam. My youngest was 3 and he LOVED them and kept eating like nothing was wrong. My oldest was 6 and he was PISSED, he reminded me of the Chris Farley sketch “you…lied…to me?”.

They were surprisingly delightful tbh, the saltiness really added something, though I’ll never make them again haha

I_might_be_weasel@reddit

Did any of them eat it without reacting?

[-]

Punch_Your_Facehole@reddit (OP)

My daughter spit it out right away and said it was disgusting. My son took a few bites and asked, 'Why is there meat in here?!' He pulled both pieces out and ate the chocolate, but the bologna juice made him spit it out. It was great.

This moment right here is why you'll be wondering where your kids are at while waiting at a retirement home

Wickedestchick@reddit

Nah the kids will probably remember it for being a funny prank and try to get him back next April Fools day. Dad may have started a tradition.

Punch_Your_Facehole@reddit (OP)

I'm getting my daughter back for a prank she pulled on me a couple of years ago. She made a delicious looking personal chocolate cake that I was really looking forward to having after dinner. After dinner, she served it, and as I went to cut into it, I noticed it was a sponge... three layers of sponges with chocolate icing all around and three Kisses on top.

[-]

Sara_sep@reddit

How old are they if you don’t mind me asking? That’s hilarious

[-]

Punch_Your_Facehole@reddit (OP)

Teens. They thought it was pretty funny and appreciated a good prank. I had been planning this for a few weeks... even made some fried bologna sandwiches along the way.

[-]

Sara_sep@reddit

That’s so funny, idk why but I thought I read they were 4 and 7 but when I read your sponge cake comment I had a feeling I was wrong about their ages lol

[-]

[-]

DZIUGASDZIU07@reddit

Are you seriously suggesting bologna and chocolate could possibly be good together? You deserve the death sentence

[-]

permion@reddit

Lots of chili recipes and some Mexican dishes actually do mix meat and chocolate.

[-]

Amudeauss@reddit

pretty sure those mostly call for straight cocoa or extremely dark chocolate, not the kind of dessert-y chocolate that gets used in peanut butter cups, which is a pretty significant difference

[-]

avelineaurora@reddit

Not fucking bologna, christ.

[-]

LadySpaulding@reddit

What about bacon dipped in chocolate? I had that at a fair once

[-]

Slg407@reddit

oh man what about some salami? im drooling thinking about it

i should start making salami at home that shit's expensive

[-]

inflatablehotdog@reddit

Salami and chocolate just sounds like a faster diy charcuterie board

[-]

Catona@reddit

Yes. A good example that salty meats and chocolate are not inherently incompatible.

But with bacon, I feel it's mostly just due to the fact that the primary taste of bacon is salt and fat. And salt and chocolate make a wonderfully popular combo. While with bologna, it's actually kind of sweet (in meat product terms) and almost vinegary to an extent.

I'd honestly still try it though, lol.

[-]

lalalicious453-@reddit

Grew up in the south so fried bologna is my jam but the idea of raw dogging it with chocolate doesn’t seem great. Fry up a piece then quarter it into triangles and then dip, I’d try that lol.

[-]

gypsycookie1015@reddit

I feel like bologna and bacon are opposite ends of the meat spectrum therefore that doesn't count.

[-]

PyramidicContainment@reddit

That's fair game

[-]

FuckIPLaw@reddit

Bologna would work with the way those recipes use chocolate. It's bitter chocolate that adds some richness to a sauce, not the kind of chocolate you'd eat on its own no matter how much you might love dark chocolate.

[-]

Unwise1@reddit

My 8yr old will take her fried bologna and dip it in Nutella..... Don't underestimate them....

[-]

snorkelvretervreter@reddit

I like ham with a sweet spread that tastes like apple butter in the US (where you must live, given the fried bologna 😁), but has the consistency of molasses. I learned this in a hospital as a kid where the lunch options were sad, but this combo saved it a little bit lol

[-]

Dantethebald1234@reddit

Cocoa way more often than chocolate.

You aren't adding a hersheys bar.

[-]

Glumshelf69@reddit

Yeah, a little bit of dark chocolate in a chili is one thing, fucking half chocolate and half bologna is a totally different thing lol

[-]

Nuka-Kraken@reddit

There's a BIG difference between adding a smidge of chocolate to a mole or curry and eating it with balogna.

[-]

sdrawkcabstiho@reddit

Yeah, you need to FRY the bologna before covering it in chocolate you uncouthed heathen.

[-]

Still-Ad2551@reddit

Even bacon and chocolate sounds better..

[-]

The-NHK@reddit

Salt and chocolate work. Chocolate and certain spices work. I can see this being not awful, but probably only if you already know what you're going in for.

[-]

PM_ME_YOUR_TROUT@reddit

Bacon dipped in chocolate is divine, just FYI.

[-]

elanhilation@reddit

and penicillin cures all manner of ailments, but i don’t want to lick bread mold

[-]

PM_ME_YOUR_TROUT@reddit

That is not a fair comparison. It sounds like you have not tried it. If you ever get the opportunity, you should try it. If it's a spicy chocolate, then that's a huge bonus!

[-]

elanhilation@reddit

to be clear, i’m saying chocolate and bacon is to chocolate and bologna what penicillin is to moldy bread

[-]

PM_ME_YOUR_TROUT@reddit

Ah, gotcha! Hahahaha!!! I would have to agree with you on that one! Now, I would still try it. But only because it might disgust me enough to make me appreciate some of the other lovely things in life. Like how a good mushroom trip can make your perspective change in life.

[-]

bongdropper@reddit

I mean, it probably is kinda good. Chocolate + savory generally equals delicious. Bologna might not be the finest ingredient, but it still checks a lot of the right boxes.

[-]

elkarion@reddit

bannana penutbutter bologna and nutella is a godly combo and you knwo it

[-]

EvernightStrangely@reddit

Not with bologna. That's like ordering a cheese fondue and the bread they give you is hamburger buns.

[-]

bongdropper@reddit

Before we get all high and mighty about the bologna, it’s noteworthy that Consumer Reports recently tested chocolate bars from 28 high-end brands and found dangerous levels of lead and cadmium in all of them. Turns out the biggest quality difference between “fine” chocolate and bologna is marketing.

[-]

EvenPack7461@reddit

That...also doesn't sound terrible.

[-]

EvernightStrangely@reddit

But it's not what you're paying for, either. Fondue should be paired with a good bread, doesn't have to be ultra fancy, just a quality step above the buns and pre-sliced bread you buy at the grocery store.

[-]

SCVerde@reddit

Brand name hamburger buns cost like 3 bucks, you can get a Kroger french bread for 2.

[-]

EvenPack7461@reddit

I'd dip anything carb heavy in fondue. It's more about the cheese then the carrier for me.

[-]

MooneyOne@reddit

[-]

NeedleworkerNew1850@reddit

and what, Reese's peanut butter chocolate spread isn't exactly chocolate either

[-]

maxdragonxiii@reddit

salt and sweet it sounds good. expect for, you know, the bologna flavor.

[-]

Aiderona@reddit

Same my first thought wasn't bad looking at this combo. I would add pickles ( Am slav )

[-]

NeedleworkerNew1850@reddit

i have tried pickle chips (actual piece of pickle air fried till crispy) with chocolate fondue before and it wasn't bad.

That's not really cake though, it's about a dozen bologna sandwiches but missing the bread and I still think I'd rather have a slice of that than the chocolate abomination. A really small slice and served on bread. Thanks for sharing that, it's truly an amazing piece of shitty food porn!

Punch_Your_Facehole@reddit (OP)

My teens have gotten me on April Fools’ before, so they’re always suspicious on this day. I staged it by having a Reese’s recipe up on my screen whenever they walked over to ask me something. I ordered the ingredients a couple of weeks ago and made sure they knew what I had ordered and that I was going to make copycat Reese’s cups. Everything fell into place, and they didn’t really think I was pranking them today.

[-]

Starfire2313@reddit

That is SO brilliant!! Hilarious! (Gross) but harmless so it’s a perfect prank. I love that chocolate sponge cake prank too I wish I had hear of these ideas before April fools day this year.

I didn’t prank anybody. I suppose I could have used some silver duct tape on the sink spray hose and made sure I left it aiming front and center so when someone turned on the sink the next day they would have gotten sprayed. But I probably would have just gotten myself!
