[john] the ultimate 
 [lauren] are we even on camera right now?
[lauren] it's been better to say we're not on wide
[john] hello.
[john] hey guys it's john.
[lauren] and lauren from hot for food
[john] and today is a
[john] particularly interesting day. not a holiday,
[john] but it's
[lauren] it's kind of a holiday.
[john] a holiday for some
[lauren] does anyone know what we're referring to?
[lauren] i hope so. it's april 20, aka 4/20 y'all
[lauren] and we decided we would do a new challenge for the month,
[lauren] and hmm, what could it be?
[john] let's call it the vegan munchies challenge.
[john] munch on.
[lauren] yea, okay so the last challenge we did was the vegan taco challenge.
[lauren] i won by a landslide i think, uhh
[lauren] butternut squash tacos versus john's breakfast tacos
[lauren] people liked both, but generally speaking, people went for mine,
[lauren] i think you're right, it was the avocado man.
[john] so we didn't prepare for this challenge,
[lauren] we're just
[[john] it's almost like
[john] kinda like a RECIPE?! but like a lazy man's recipe video.
[lauren] to be honest, we decided we would do this at the last second. we had something else planned, and then i was like
[lauren] it's 4/20, hello. the vegan munchies challenge, go.
[lauren] i thought of doing, umm
[lauren] have you heard of these things called freakshakes?
[john] no.
 [lauren] it's basically this monstrosity of a  milkshake that has like, random shit on top.
[lauren] it's crazy, i think it's some kind of internet thing, or maybe some restaurant in the US makes one?
[lauren] so i'm gonna make basically like a milkshake and i'm just gonna put like
[lauren] a layer of like chocolate sauce, then i'm gonna put like,
[lauren] pretzels! and i don't even know. peanut butter cups and just like make it look stupid.
[lauren] cos we have ice-cream in the freezer so yea.
[john] go nuts!
 [lauren] alright.
[john] you gotta go simple, and that's what i'm doing here and that's gonna bring me a victory.
[john] do i have to reveal?
 [lauren] oh wait, he's a big talker and he hasn't won, okay.
[john] i have lost twice in a row, i will give you that.
[john] box mac and cheese,
[john] will be my key to victory.
[john] and i've got tortillas, i'll leave it at that and then let's
[lauren] a taco! you can't make a taco again.
[john] oh i will not be making a taco, don't you worry.
[lauren] so look we've got a cool mason jar,
[lauren] and then this is gonna be like, all stacked up with stuff.
[lauren] what are you doing?
[john] so i'm making a mac and cheese burrito here,
[john] i think peas and carrots in the mac and cheese is a little weird,
[john] that's what comes with the instant mac and cheese so i'm taking them out,
[john] can't tell me what to do.
[john] so i'm going to boil that for 8 minutes, and get started on my burrito.
[john] just gonna brown some veggie sausage in the pan, this is gonna get added to the mac and cheese.
[john] gonna finely chop some red onion,
[john] i'm also gonna add some pickled jalapenos,
[john] to dip the burrito in, i'm going to make a spicy ketchup which is just two parts ketchup, one part your favourite hot sauce.
[john] now it's time to mix up the mac and cheese with the cheese sauce.
[john] so if you add a little bit of water to the bottom of the pan, it'll help you pick up all those brown crispy bits.
[john] it's all gonna be extra flavour for the mac and cheese burritos.
[john] and then we're gonna stir it all together.
[john] as always, we're gonna add a little bit of freshly cracked pepper,
[john] alright, so this thing's just moving along swimmingly,  
[lauren] looks pretty good, can i taste it?
[john] it does look good. can you? 
[lauren] you always taste my food before it's done.
[lauren] mm!
[lauren] well, in a weird way, these are gonna compliment each other because we got dinner and dessert here.
[john] true.
[lauren] i'm gonna start by melting chocolate chips and coconut oil for a chocolate sauce.
[lauren] once everything's just melted, take it off the heat so you don't overcook it,
[lauren] in this pot, i'm just gonna heat together frozen strawberries to make a strawberry sauce.
[lauren] just gonna mash these a little bit.
[lauren] and i'm just gonna chop up some salted peanuts,
[lauren] alright, i'm also gonna use these peanut butter cups that i got,
[lauren] i've never had these before.
[lauren] i think we'll just cut them in quarters and they'll go on the top.
[lauren] so i'm gonna take what i have left of this vanilla ice-cream, and blend it with frozen bananas.
[lauren] so there's our first layer.
[lauren] and i'm just gonna store this in the freezer and make my chocolate layer.
[lauren] so now i've got peanut butter chocolate ice-cream,
[lauren] i've got leftover coconut milk that i'm gonna add to thin this out.
[john] alright we're rock and rolling here. heating up my tortillas to make it easier to roll.
[john] the mac and cheese into it, umm how are you doing?
[lauren] i'm ready. my stuff's just in the freezer.
[john] oh, she's ready. so
[lauren] let's assemble!
[john] i guess so.
[john] i'm really going to enjoy watching you eat that.
[lauren] yea, uh, i haven't really figured out the how you eat it part.
[lauren] it looks amazing though, it is epic!
[john] you have to eat it in confidence
 [lauren] it is, it's definitely a freak.
[john] you know what?
 [lauren] mm!
[john] we do both win in this situation cos we have salty savoury, and then an awesome dessert.
[lauren] this is crazy man.
[john] shall we?
[lauren] mhm.
[john] what do you think? lemme know your thoughts
[lauren] it's obviously gonna be good, 
[john] the flat top is awesome.
[lauren] we haven't even used it yet  
[john] it actually got it flat, crispy like a burrito.
[john] can't forget to try the spicy ketchup
[lauren] oh yea.
[lauren] it's already pretty spicy though.
[lauren] with the jalapenos.
[lauren] i don't know, these go very well together obviously
[john] the nice thing is, they both were super quick.
[lauren] mhm.
[john] and if you got some tv shows to get back to, some video games
[john] some cat watching, i don't know what you do.
[lauren] then these are a perfect snack to go with it.
[lauren] alright, you know how it works, you leave a comment below with your vote for who should win the vegan munchies challenge
[lauren] is it gonna be my vegan freakshake?
[john] or my vegan mac and cheese burrito?
[john] and none of this tie bullcrap, "i can't choose"
[lauren] yea, you have to pick someone.
[lauren] "i can't choose! meh meh meh!"
 [john] " i wanna eat both!"
[john] yes, that's fine you can want to eat both but you can want to eat
[john] one a little bit more. 
[lauren] that's true.
[john] it's the mac and cheese burrito
 [lauren] no, it's definitely this vegan freak shake.
