Let me start by saying that I am in no way, shape, or form the perfect little Pinterest chef. I have a brain, and I recognize beforehand that if I try to make that cute little Cookie Monster fudge, it’s going to be an absolute monstrosity — so I don’t even waste my time.
But sometimes, it goes further than that. Not all Pinterest recipes are created to set you up for disaster (#2, #3, and #4 are totally possible, guys). People honestly just lack common sense. Shocking, isn’t it?
Check out these 6 cringe-worthy Pinterest fails. We’re sorry in advance.
1. Chick Dinner Rolls

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but bread rises as it bakes and always will (no matter how cute the recipe is). So…yeah. That’s about all I have on this one.
2. Chocolate-Covered Pretzel Pumpkins

This is an abomination. Apparently dipping pretzels in chocolate is really, really difficult.
3. Chocolate Chip Cookie Bowls

Cookies expand as they bake, if you weren’t already aware. If they just used less cookie dough, this disaster could have been entirely avoided. Sigh.
4. Christmas Spiral Sugar Cookies
The Intention:

These cookies are the equivalent of telling a small child that Santa Claus doesn’t exist.
5. Halloween Finger Cookies
The Intention:

This is a travesty. I’m not sure what’s worse — the fact these cookies turned out so awful, or the fact that there’s an actual recipe for cookies that look like fingers. May I remind everyone, once again, that cookies expand as they bake?
6. Deviled Egg Chicks
The Intention:

Thematically, there seems to be a problem with people trying to make their food resemble baby chicks. For the love of all that’s good in the world, stop.
