This is the gnarliest recipe in the new Ninja Turtles cookbook
It's scarfin' time!
Thanks to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pizza Cookbook — a collection of gnarly recipes inspired by the unique culinary preferences of everyone's favorite crime-fighting turtles — you too can now get a taste of what it's like to live your worst life.
Okay, that's a bit harsh. There are some delicious-sounding classics, but the book includes a few seriously radical recipes that sound as though they might not be intended for human consumption.

From pizzas to desserts, we surveyed the 65 TMNT-inspired creations to find the worst of the worst, and without a doubt we've concluded the gnarliest pizza concoction is none other than the very confusing Chocolate-Chili Pepper Pizza with Butternut Squash.
Blech. 😱
Now in case the thought of chocolate combined with peppers and butternut squash didn't send you sprinting to embrace your extra-large bottle of Tums, we're here to enlighten you on a few other ingredients.

To make this pizza even more appetizing, the recipe calls for two tablespoons of smooth, natural PEANUT BUTTER, a handful of corn tortilla chips, and a quarter cup of SOUR CREAM. Help.
If that doesn't appeal, adventurous eaters can also try recipes like the Deep-Dish Goulash Pizza, the Total Tuna Meltdown, or Pepperoni and Sweet Pickle Pie. Good luck.

Despite these creations, the book isn't all that terrifying. The author, Peggy Paul Casella, is also the creator of ThursdayNightPizza.com, so she knows how to make a pretty good pie.
There are some rockin' desserts too, including a sweet s'mores pizza, and the Old School section features more traditional recipes like pepperoni or four-cheese. And despite the name, the snacks featured in the "Masked Mutations" section of the book also seem like a safe bet. We promise.

The book can be purchased on Amazon for about $20, so call up your Leonardos, Raphaels, Donatellos, and Michelangelos, and start cooking. Cowabunga!
