      Best explanation is that the camera work in all of these are fantastic. Claire's found an exceptional production partner in Vinny; think Cal's been with them a while too. Their style, humor, and vibe work so well together. Feels like a team that are all on the same page.

    Listening to Claire explain why she likes making the Claire Recreates videos made my heart so happy. We always wanted Claire to just have a good time and not be stressed out/feel forced to make the videos she didn't want to make. Seeing it come full circle from having to routinely make gourmet versions in a work environment where all that mattered were views and making money- to now having the freedom to create the videos the way Claire wants to, without the pressure, mandatory layout, negative energy or working overtime/feeling burnt out is so wonderful. And frankly, quite badass. We love you Claire

She has so much wisdom about desserts and that is why I'm a fan of this series (and why i was a fan of the former) -- she gets to put her knowledge to use in a way that only she can. I'm so happy to be here.

    This amount of difference from original product to gourmet homemade version is exactly what I’d expect. The nicer more natural chocolate colours, the natural colours of the chips, the size of the chips. It all goes to show that a human being made it, rather than a bunch of machines. Enjoying this series so much and can’t wait to see future episodes.

    I remember hearing they changed the Cosmic Brownie recipe, which is supposedly why they taste different now, it's not just nostalgia. The old recipe, as I heard, used to contain honey. There's an actual recipe someone shared online, I tried when making brownies once, it was shockingly close to how I remember Cosmic Brownies; they were a little thick, but maybe my baking pan to batter ratio wasn't right. He has a lot of fast food and snack food recipes; his name is Jordan Howlett, I'm not doxxing him, that's the name he shares on his UA-cam.

    3 things:
    1. Such a great episode!!
    2. Cal crush at all time high
    3. Clock the hummingbirds outside Claire’s window at 40:32

    It makes me so happy seeing her enjoy herself and enjoying her challenges. Always loved watching Claire in the test kitchen but felt her frustration with how tense the environment was beneath the surface. Go Claire!!!

    Claire's final product looks like if they did a seasonal Easter or Spring edition of Cosmic Brownies. Great job!

    ...I feel like Claire's entire show would make an awesome mobile game, including periodically trying to figure out how to achieve a project while saving the cats and herding chickens. I love the problem-solving that these projects require. Super fun to watch, and I'm always learning something.

    Something that could be fun with some variety could be Lunchables. All the varieties could be done up with higher quality ingredients and homemade components and I think Claire would have a lot of fun on crafting the look for them.

      And been so disappointed so quickly. The more videos of hers I watch, the more I realize she’s such an elitist. Really Claire? You’ve never had cosmic brownies before and you don’t like them? Ugh.

    omg she did this for me!!! cosmic brownies are one of those childhood snacks that i liked so much and now i can't even finish one, so having an elevated version of it makes me so excited! can't wait to try the recipe on my own

    I saw Ann Reardon from How To Cook That uses a kid rock tumbler to create candy shells on her jellybean and it worked amazingly. It may not be as shiny as the commercial ones but it's silky smooth. Please like this comment so Claire could see

    I'd really love to see a Claire Recreates episode with Payday candy bars! They seem really simple and I think would be fun

    • @easterbasket9688
      @easterbasket9688 6 місяців тому

      It’s just peanuts and caramel though. 😕

    • @maddieb.4282
      @maddieb.4282 6 місяців тому

      The point is to do things that aren’t simple but are challenging. And the brand recognition of what she chooses is also important- payday isn’t very popular so likely wouldn’t get the views that cosmic brownies will

  • @peppage
    @peppage 6 місяців тому +1

    I was really surprised how thick and dense these were the first time I had one. And the "unbaked raw flour" texture is a spot-on observation.
