I like to eat. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that many of the things I try on Pinterest are recipes. While some of them turn out great, some, well, don’t.
Here’s just a few of my favorite Pinterest recipes attempts that I’m calling Pinterest Fab or Pinterest Fail.
Pinterest Fab
Several of the desserts I have tried have become recipe staples, including
- Peanut Butter Chocolate Bars (I have made these a few times)
- Sopapilla Cheesecake
- Pumpkin Cheesecake Muffins/Cupcakes (but if I call them muffins I can eat them for breakfast)
I’ve tried a few dinner recipes as well
- Honey Lime Tilapia Recipe (my kids LOVED this)
- Roasted Butternut Squash Soup (I actually didn’t make this one, but I did get to eat it!)
Pinterest Fail
Chocolate waffle cookies (or wookies). These were actually a fab and a fail. The first time I made them at my house they were great. When I tried to replicate them at my Mom’s they were a flop. Same recipe, even the same waffle iron (I took mine to her house). Completely different results. So I have to say try at your own risk.
Nutella Banana Bread. This was okay. If I made it again I would want to tweak the recipe a bit. I didn’t think that it was sweet enough and the Nutella flavor wasn’t very strong.
Have you tried some fab Pinterest recipes? What about Pinterest recipe fails? Share below!
Pinterest – such a blessing and a curse! I love when recipes are a winner but the failures make me super frustrated. But your failures still look pretty amazing!
Julie, what a great idea! I have had my share of Pinterest fabs and Pinterest fails. I love going to the Pintrosity website and laughing until I cry. By the way, your blog is awesome. Great design. It’s really cute!
All of my cooking experiments are fails lol
Love the sound of those chocolate peanut butter bars. I have no skills in the kitchen so all of mine would be fails, but my partner is amazing at cooking so I shall get her to get involved!

I love Pinterest, but it is always a bummer when a popular pin ends up a fail! I’ll have to check out your fabs though! They look great!
This is a great post. I don’t make nearly as many Pinterest recipes as I should. Or I start with them for inspiration and the get way off base before it’s done. I guess I just don’t follow directions well. The nutella bread would have never been attempted in my house, can’t stand the stuff (blasphemy I know).

The peanut butter chocolate bars have literally made my mouth drool. I need to try these!
Pinterest is like my arch nemesis. I always want to try all of the delicious recipes but half of them always fail for me! I guess the super yummy ones make up for it:)
Thank you for sharing your failures as well as your triumphs. I have made some pretty epic Pinterest fails and I’m not sure I’m brave enough to share them. 🙂
Peanut butter chocolate bars and chocolate waffle cookies sound amazing!
Love trying Pinterest recipes. I’ll have to try that Sopapilla Cheesecake. Sounds yummy!
One of my Pinterest fabs was ice cream bread – literally just ice cream and flour (very cold dough!) & then you bake it. We used a brownie swirl ice cream and it was delicious!
Ha! I love a good Pinterest fail (I’ve had them too)!.
Oh I love this! Good to see which ones didn’t work out.
