These Honey Corn Muffins Will SHUT YOU UP!

Clinton closes out Pre-Thanksgiving Week with a guest who practically brings a bakery with her: Danielle Sepsy, the legendary “Scone Queen” and owner of The Hungry Gnome. After showing up with six boxes of baked goods (naturally), Danielle jumps straight into teaching the gang how to make her Honey Corn Muffins — the hybrid cupcake-cornbread creation that her cookbook will soon unleash on the world.

The crew dives deep into muffin science, the importance of cake flour, sour cream, and the extremely controversial word moist, all while Danielle drops tip after tip (including why oven temperature shock therapy creates a perfect dome). The episode goes gloriously off-track as Clinton and Danielle reminisce about Long Island culture, Michael reveals a crippling cookie addiction, and Carla unsuccessfully attempts a Long Island accent.

They also play a chaotic round of Chew It or Screw It, debate canned versus homemade cranberry sauce, argue pie vs. cake, and end up deep in Thanksgiving hosting dilemmas. The group answers fan questions, shares the horrors of cursed Jell-O salads, and swaps stories about reheating turkey without destroying it.

And in true Chewed Up fashion, the episode ends with laughs, crumbs everywhere, a Wicked Part 2 tangent, and a massive giveaway: a $75 Hungry Gnome Gift Card. It’s carbs, comedy, and pure pre-holiday mania.
