Chopped

- Season 41

(2019)

In the first round of this all-desserts battle, the chefs must work with dark chocolate, a prized fruit and a salty snack. The second round is a celebration of judge Martha Stewart's favorite variety of chocolate, milk chocolate.

Four chefs cook a game-day feast using a whimsical dish that looks like nachos -- but isn't -- in the first round, drumsticks in the second and a dessert basket that includes a fusion snack and a hybrid beverage.

Four chefs who didn't make it in high-stakes tournaments return for redemption with challenges that involve goat chops, breakfast cereal and a cookie behemoth.

The competitors face three challenges filled with cheesy yumminess including a Philadelphia classic in the first round, a fancy Spanish cheese in the entree round and a cheese-tastic tower in the dessert basket.

Four chefs fight to avoid getting chopped by using mandatory ingredients scallops, galangal, marsh snail vinegar, and croissant tacos to create an appetizer. The entrée round must include soft shell crabs, culantro, turkey eggs, and baby bananas. Finally, the dessert round must include a Swedish princess cake, green strawberries, lavender mints, and Basmati rice.

Four chefs prepare for summertime dinners in America using a variety of sunny ingredients including patriotic deviled eggs and star-spangled spaghetti.

Minced meat and something sweet are part of the appetizer round puzzle. Will sumac and a super salty curve ball in the second basket leave the chefs wondering what to make? The dessert round proves nothing is ever easy on Chopped.

The chefs' baskets are packed with bacon, burgers and beer! The competitors go in some inventive directions with their bacon appetizers, and round two is an adrenaline-packed burger battle with a fun take on onion rings.

The chefs find tuna belly in the first basket. A cocktail named after poultry and a boxed product that brings low-cost meals from childhood is in basket two. Both chefs choose to add chocolate to their desserts with mystery ingredients.
