Detective Pikachu Burger

Everyone’s favorite Pokemon, Pikachu comes to life in the new live action Detective Pikachu film opening May 10th, 2019. Jump into the Pokemon universe with this simple recipe. The Detective Pikachu Burger is a fun spin on an everyday burger.

I have been immersed in the Pokemon universe for almost 20 years. It all started when my oldest fell in love with Pikachu at a relative’s house when she was three years old. The love of all things Pokemon has been passed down to my youngest who has grown up being surrounded by Charmandar, Eevee and Cyndaquil.

Even though our kids have always been fans of these little creatures, I will admit that I knew little to nothing about it. But with the introduction of Pokemon Go, my husband and I jumped feet first into the Pokemon realm.

Now, Detective Pikachu is coming to theaters and the entire family is super stoked. So on our last burger night, we had a little fun creating the Detective Pikachu Burger.

Detective Pikachu Burger

Ingredients (for each burger)

• Hamburger or cheeseburger, prepared as desired
• 2 black olive slices
• 2 mini pepperoni slices
• 1 tablespoon black candy wafers or chocolate chips
• 2 Bugle Crispy Corn Snacks
• Toothpicks

Instructions

1. Melt black candy wafers or chocolate chips in a small bowl.
2. Dip the tips of each Bugle into the melted candy. Put aside to allow the chocolate to set completely.
3. Position the black olive slices on the top bun of the hamburger to resemble Pikachu’s eyes. Attach with melted candy or toothpicks.
4. Use a toothpick dipped in melted candy to place a dot between the eyes as Pikachu’s nose.
5. Below the nose, draw a curved line to be Pikachu’s mouth.
6. To each side of Pikachu’s mouth, attach a mini pepperoni using a toothpick or melted candy.
7. Press two toothpicks through the top of the bun and rest a Bugle on each toothpick.

*Remind children to remove any toothpicks prior to eating.*

I highly recommend getting the kids involved! I set all the ingredients in the middle of the table and we all created our own Detective Pikachu burgers. With a tween and a 20 year old, it can be difficult to get everyone around the table all at once. But this project had everyone chatting and laughing as we put our Detective Pikachu burger together.
