Chopped Junior

Creepy-crawly kabobs pose a challenge for the junior chefs; cooks are happy with fish fillets and a colorful cereal; chefs must get creative with little sprinkles and a giant egg; David Arquette, Jake Smollett and chef Scott Conant judge.

A three and a half-pound peanut butter cup and a too-hot griddle create problems; an enviable cut of pork and a strong-flavored candy are two of the gifts in the entree basket; the final round showcases a gooey skillet of pink sweetness.

Four kids compete to impress judges Lazarus Lynch, Marc Murphy and actor James Maslow; ground beef and chocolate for round one; a misleading ingredient that looks like a giant baked potato in the entree round; a red, white and blue snack for dessert.

Pumpkin pie is one of the mystery ingredients for the appetizer round; traditional Thanksgiving flavors minus the turkey in the entree round; cupcakes are at the center of the final basket; Alex Guarnaschelli, Sandra Lee and Laura Vitale judge.

Chefs Aaron Sanchez and Jet Tila and comedian Iliza Shlesinger judge; a cheesy sandwich in the appetizer basket; a root vegetable and a sweet Latin treat for the entree basket; watermelon dessert for the final basket.

The competitors find a birds' nest in the first basket; in the entree round, the chefs learn a new word for a specific type of chicken and must hustle to get it cooked through; killer kiwi desserts.
