Buddy the Elf Headlines HelloFresh Spaghetti Kit

Meal kit company HelloFresh and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products are spreading holiday cheer like never before with the launch of limited-edition Buddy the Elf Spaghetti meal kits. Inspired by the dish featured in the beloved holiday film, Elf, these festive meal kits will provide fans – and anyone who shares Buddy’s affinity for elf culture – everything needed to make the sweet, syrupy, candy-filled spaghetti dish right in the comfort of their own workshops – we mean kitchens!

The HelloFresh version of the iconic dish famously devoured by Buddy the Elf stays true to an elf’s flavor palate, featuring notable ingredients – like candy and syrup – that are an essential part of an elf’s diet. Starting with Colavita spaghetti as the base, the HelloFresh recipe also includes maple syrup, chocolate syrup, marshmallows, chocolate nonpareil candies, crumbled chocolate frosted pastries, and more. With the option to eat with your hands or pair with a bottle of cola, Buddy the Elf Spaghetti is sure to make even South Pole elves smile.

“While drawing inspiration from the sweet spaghetti dish seen in the movie Elf, we created a chocolate-forward version that stays true to Buddy the Elf’s dish, incorporating crushed chocolate cereal, various chocolate candies, marshmallows, and of course, syrup,” said Michelle Doll Olson, HelloFresh culinary development manager. “Our goal is always to create recipes that are both tasty and fun to prepare, and we’re sure this over-the-top recipe will satisfy any elf’s sweet tooth while bringing the holiday spirit to your household!”

Starting on Dec. 5 at 12:25 p.m. EST, Buddy the Elf Spaghetti meal kits by HelloFresh will be available exclusively through www.HelloFreshElfSpaghetti.com with no subscription required. The kits are priced at $14.99 for two servings and include all of the pre-portioned ingredients and a step-by-step recipe card to make the dish in the comfort of your kitchen.
