Ingredients
- Deselect All
- Kosher salt
- 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
- 12 ounces spaghetti
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup chocolate syrup, plus more for drizzling
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup, plus more for drizzling
- 2 tablespoons sprinkles, plus more for topping
- 2 chocolate toaster pastries, toasted and cut into squares
- Mini marshmallows, for topping
- Candy-coated chocolates, for topping
- Candy corn, for topping
Instructions
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Scrape in the seeds from the vanilla bean and add the halves of the pod. Add the pasta and cook until al dente according to the package directions.
- Meanwhile, heat the butter and heavy cream in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted. Whisk in the chocolate syrup, maple syrup, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Bring to a simmer and reduce until lightly syrupy while the pasta cooks, about 5 minutes.
- Reserve about 1/4 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta and discard the vanilla bean halves. Add the pasta directly to the skillet, tossing to coat it in the sauce and adding a little reserved pasta water only if it seems dry (there should be a thin film of syrupy sauce at the bottom of the skillet). Add the sprinkles and toss the pasta with tongs to distribute.
- Divide among 4 bowls. Drizzle with more chocolate and maple syrup, then top with the toaster pastry squares, additional sprinkles, mini marshmallows, candy-coated chocolates and candy corn. Serve immediately.

What an awesome way to celebrate the anniversary of “Elf”!! Definitely a sugar rush! Love it!
Oh my gosh, how fun is this!! I may have to do this for my grandson! Of course I’ll make a very smaller version of it! lol!!
Great funny to bring a holiday smile. Humor is important.
Please spare others your opinion if you haven’t tried it. This is silly and fun and in the holiday spirit. As spaghetti has little flavor on its own, it’s not yucky at all. Get a sense of humor — and live joyfully, like Buddy the Elf.
This is a great copy cat recreation of Buddy the Elf’s spaghetti from the Elf movie. Not all recipes are meant to be made and this one of them. It’s a joke, people!
YUK!!!
What a waste of some good candies. Not very appetizing!
Looks disgusting. I doubt many people would actually make this.
