Let’s face it: Anyone can serve boring vanilla ice cream, or regular old chocolate brownies. But what about the desserts that constantly get left out of the holiday party circuit? They need to be eaten, too! Next time you’re whipping something up, try a dessert that’ll keep your guests on their toes (and maybe freak them out a little).
Here are some awesome dessert recipes that are just a little off-beat, but remain absolutely delicious.
1.) Unicorn Barf

There are a lot of weird ice creams out there, but this one sounds like the most delicious.
Popcorn ice cream is made using popcorn and sugar-infused milk and butter.
4.) Jell-O Shark Tank

shark tank Jell-O drink.
5.) Bleeding Cake Ball Brains

You don’t have to be a zombie to have a hankering for some good ol’ brains. These
cake balls shaped like brains and filled with jelly are disturbing but delicious.

10.) Chocolate-Covered Pickles
share
While not particularly unusual looking, a
chocolate-covered pickle does hold a certain mystery: Why would someone put these two things together if it wasn’t absolutely delicious, right?
11.) Chocolate-Covered Squid
share
Speaking of weird things to cover in chocolate – how about some
chocolate-covered squid? That’s right, someone decided that the perfect thing to put on top of boiled squid was melted chocolate. And who knows? Maybe they were right.
12.) Rice Crispy Critter Treats
share
While some desserts only pretend to be made of creepy crawlies, this one actually goes the distance. But, when it comes to
rice crispies covered in cooked worms, don’t knock it ’til you try it.

The worst part about these gross desserts is how much I want to eat all of them. Whatever, my diet doesn’t start until after New Year’s, anyway.
