In 2019 I'd love to see a video series on coffee, it's a big hobby of mine and I'd love to see your reactions and exploration of things like roasting, brewing, and even cooking with coffee. Loved this mini-series on chocolate, it's given me another reason to go out and get a sous vide (as if cooking steaks wasn't a big enough one ;D) and an appreciation for gifts that are made and packaged by the individual.
This has my vote, also!
Hey do some coffee with rice its my go to for breakfast ;)
Hey Alex, if you vacuum form in the future, those wrinkles are caused by the plastic being heated for too long. You want to get the plastic as hot as you can without creating wrinkles, then you'll get the best forming :) You can also use masking tape to cover the mesh around the moulds to concentrate the vacuum, or drill very small holes (0.5mm) in tighter parts of the mould. Hope this helps if you do anymore, it's literally my job haha
Actual constructive criticism and advice on the internet?? Heresy! You're supposed to be complaining about the use of Comic Sans! (Just kidding - thanks for the information.)
@@TheCoffeehound damn, you stole my reply...
@bats is there a way to do this process without a $700 machine?
@@strongbad2795 I've seen people make formers from a small vacuum pump and a box with holes on the top, then just slowly heating the plastic with a heat gun. I doubt it'd be nearly as good as machine like this though
@@strongbad2795 check out the channel "Punished Props Academy" They have two videos, one on making a big vacuum former and one on making a small and simple one
The chocolate bar should say "bite me"
in French "bite" means "d*ck" so if we eat the "me" it becomes a bad joke for Christmas
I did not know that. I actually do speak French (my family is French on my mother's side), but I've never lived in France or any other francophone country, so my knowledge of vulgarisms and colloquialisms is a bit limited. But yeah, if it was a gift for someone speaking almost only French it wouldn't be ideal.
If you look up the history of "bite me" in the English language you will find that it's a cleaned up version of pretty much the same.
So really it would only work for someone who wouldn't misconstrue it.
How about "eat me"
With giving a finger.
@@mrpanicattack6688 How about " I am chocolate, put me in your belly "
If only this wasn't comic sans...
I think he was aiming for something with rounded corners such as would be made by a Dremel. What is a better option?
@@Anonymouspock A dremel with a smaller tip
@@Anonymouspock They're is some solid rounded typography faces out there. I am a huge fan of the "ubuntu" one, but most popular ones like Helvetica have some kind of rounded variant.
Yeah, Comic Sans. Sigh. But at least in this case he is using it for what it was designed for. The printing on the chocolate is essentially speech bubbles… Yes, Comic Sans. But not as bad as using it for a title font.
there's some sites like dafont that have virtually unlimited amounts of fonts, and you can even filter for style like "cursive" and stuff like that, I'm sure there was better options out there, but well that's just a minor thing I guess
I thought the comic sans choice was a joke until I saw you pouring the chocolate.
My carving tip was round, so that left me with very few options...
@@FrenchGuyCooking Should've asked for a finer carving tip for Christmas!
@@FrenchGuyCooking or just write it freehand, adds a personal touch. I'm sure it would still look nice with the rounded drill.
@@FrenchGuyCookingThere are probably a few more options. The thing is that Comic Sans, although it is a fair choice and looks fine to some people, has become a symbol for bad taste which is something I could never accuse you off!! Lifehack Sans (by Deartype) for example is probably to do with a Dremel and would make your bars also look as good as they probably taste.
@@FrenchGuyCooking dafont dot com provides free fonts, thousands of them, just if you need a certain style the next time :)
They turned out great!!! Amazing job :) Thank you so much for letting me be a part of it!! xox
literally paused the conversation with Brandon Calvillo
, to watch this video. Are you stalking my youtube? :P
Aren't you concerned a message like "always there for you" on chocolate is sending the wrong message with obesity and depression being so widespread?
I have a dumb question: why is the sous vide tub not insulated? I use a small insulated ice chest and a tea kettle. Am I missing something?
@@AdrianTache I'm not Kati Morton, but I would say that your sentiment seems a bit ... over-sensitive? Misplaced? Sorry, I genuinely can't think of a more tactful word at the moment, bear with me. But given that the idea was something like "things that chocolate would say as a friend", what exactly would you have the chocolate say instead that isn't encouraging or enabling obesity?
Moreover, I think there's no "wrong message" when it comes to a gift like this because, when it comes down to it, it is a gift and what it says doesn't matter much at all - if someone is given any kind of food or candy gift, the logical thought would be to accept and eat it. And it wouldn't just be on the gift-giver to be conscious of the recipient's situation, but it would sadly also be on the recipient themselves to choose not to partake in the gift if it's unhealthy for them. (And I know that's not always possible or easy, but my point is that it's still a two-way street, where at least one person has to realize that the gift might not be the best.)
I also have no idea why depression is factored in here, other than a link with stress/depression eating, which heads into the same 'two-way street' territory. TL;DR: Why does it matter if a chocolate has an encouraging message if it exists just to be eaten anyway? The primary importance of chocolate is as comfort food and the factors that lead people in need of positive reinforcement to chocolate aren't related to the message, but how the chocolate gets into that person's hands - there's no "wrong message", because the message is of little importance.
@@jo_magpie yeah, it's my second time seeing her in two days
Your passion for what you do is beyond fascinating.
This is so fun! Thanks Alex, happy holidays!
truth
I appreciate the reliability and ease the sous-vide method offers over doing it manually.
krollic its way easier with seeding method and microwave than sous vide
@@HidekiShinichi true.
Sous vide or more accurately called a bain Marie puts humidity in the kitchen.
That's fatal to good choc work.
But also don't neglect the skill required to evenly melt choc in the microwave.
It's very easy to damage it.
But it's still my preferred method for mini batches. For 10lb batches it's better leave in the gas oven overnight.
The pilot light alone will melt it perfect.
You can melt it at 100f and it will be liquid but still in temper. Just go ahead and start using it.
speaking as a professional chocolatier... I find that it takes long enough to get the 45° down to 27°, even when the bottom of the aluminum bowl with the chocolate is held directly onto ice with some (just covering) water. HOW LONG & how much ice must it take to get that whole tub down to 27°???? I wonder. I can temper 400g of 70% dark callets in about 15 minutes.
I use the double boiler (only in the steam) to gently warm the callets, checking it continually with a digital thermometer. I plunge the base into ice cubes and water to conduct the heat and bring it rapidly down to 27° and after I raise it again on the steam I seed with tempered grains between 32° and 35° (keeping a constant eye with the digital probe)
@@elektrolyte The thing is… why would you even need ice to cool it down in the first place? You are not trying to insta-freeze it. Just take some hot water off and add some tap water with the machine’s fine control over the temperature. That’s all.
Whoever is receiving those as gifts, they are truly blessed 😄 so much love and care went into making them.
I'm astounded that after watching the passion and effort that went into making a whimsical and thoughtful gift, after watching all the great lengths Alex went to in this video, people are disregarding the whole thing because of a font choice. Comic Sans isn't actually that bad a font, you're just used to seeing it in jokes and ridicule. It's certainly not a great font, but in this use case, it's okay. And it was clearly done chosen for a practical purpose, you just can't get over your bias.
Exactly.
Hi! Type Designer here! It actually is technically, qualitatively and quantitatively a low-quality typeface, and I think most people are voicing their distaste because Alex's stuff is usually so well done, tasteful and professional, so seeing him use "Mom's Garage Sale' flyer font being his best choice kind of undermines the overall trust in Alex's brand, and we all wish he'd just spent a bit longer choosing something a bit better, or just less tinged with the baggage than Comic Sans has. Test question: Would you dine at an expensive restaurant with a Comic Sans frontage? Would you pay top dollar for a Mercedes if they switched to Comic sans for the boot badges? Would you trust your money with a bank that used it for it's logo? I sincerely doubt it. and if you did, then you are a probably a little foolish.
@@LittlePixelTM While it's true that Comic Sans has issues and it's less than ideal (understatement), this was actually a personal gift; sure, the use of Comic Sans is still kinda problematic, but comparing that to a front sign? That's a false equivalence by definition.
@@LittlePixelTM P.S.: On another note: why do you say "quantitative" in this context? I understand quantitative being used in other contexts in a manner that applies to criticizing something as bad, but in regards to a typeface? I am curious.
I think it's just a way to say the font is massively overused (which it is).
Mind you, I don't care much that he used comic sans- sure, I think it's a bland, ugly font, but it's a GIFT. I'm not going to complain if a friend hand makes me something and uses comic sans in it, because that's rude af. If Alex likes the font, and it works with his method, then that's what matters. Would I suggest he look at alternatives (Jellee is a good one)? Personally yes. But it's not going to ruin the chocolate's taste if the font is tacky looking.
It's not only the content amazing... The film making procedure, is superb! Congratulations Alex!
Yes, his editing and the shots he takes are all on point.
*Wants an elegant look*
*Uses comic sans*
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Lmao
Qu'on arrête avec cette blague pour débiles mentaux sur la police Comic Sans...
That is the beauty of it! He chose Comic Sans and freaking *owned* it. That’s bold.
@@abatti95 a chad move indeed.
There something intensely satisfying about watching that sheet of plastic melt, and then contract around the mold. Just like the sous vide bag being vacum sealed.
I think we need a dumplings series! How to make the perfect dumpling--achieving the best wrapper with that great mix of silky and chewy, best fillings and sauces, ratio of filling to dumpling....endless and would be awesome :)
Funny how so many are pointing out the comic sans 😆 Taking an educated guess I would say Alex chose it because of it's rounded corners and it's imperfect line straightness. That way it would be easy to route using a Dremel tool. Gonna be eaten anyways ^^ Also it would be funny if you give one to a graphics designer. Great video as always! Salute 😊✌️
No, it's not funny or ironic. It's not only an awful font, it's only ubiquitous because its in Windows, not through selection by designers. It screams lazy.
The wrapping is superb so I'd likely get you a very weirded out look
@@AlexisKasperavicius it screams "I'm not a designer but here try my chocolate"
Good point!!! Thanks for standing up for Alex :)
Why not just use Exocet, then? Or Papyrus?
*shakes fists* comic saaaaans!
YES
Pick a better font that wouldn’t take him 10x as long to dremel, then.
@@Pentross impact bold
@@Pentross Futura or Helvetica. Theres two.
@Case3P "I wanted a bit more finesse"
The production value here is just so absolutely amazing. Never change Alex.
Didn't know people had such strong feelings about Comic Sans, never seen or heard any such comments before. I think you are amazing to watch and bring alot of joy and inspiration to people allover the world. If you use comic sans or not is not of importance, and does not impeed on your brilliance. People like you deserve the best Alex
Ahhhhh! I just added chocolate molds to my 2019 project list. This looks way too satisfying. And MDF is good for thermoforming because it's porous. So you don't need to drill holes into pockets and letters to get air out like Diresta did. Very smart, Alex...
J'aime bien l’emballage du chocolat. The pattern is artsy.
Love the simple yet elegant way of stacking them in the fridge with little blocks of wood.
You fuse science and cooking together .
Its so inspiring that you attempt the impossible.
I love it!! and you!!! xo
😁👍
"take it piece by piece". it is a big piece indeed
Great job Alex!
One small advice: When carving letters/pictures using dremel-like tool, make a raw outline using sharp tip bit on low rpm, wery shallow cut and everything slow and easy. After that go with bigger bit inside (between) lines, but never touch them, and then go with low rpm and bit of your choice to connect outline with rest. But that's my method and as anyone can see, you're... Original ;)
Je trouve que c'est le plus beau cadeau du monde. Le temps, l'attention, les recherches perso etc... ça vaut tout l'or du monde.
Savoir que tu l'as confectionné waouh ! J'espère que tes présents seront appréciés à leurs juste hauteur :)
Alex is like if Alton Brown and Mythbusters had a sexy French baby.

1:34 either you planned to make the thinnest chocolate Bar in the world at an astounding 0,6 mm or you did an oopsie
Edit: 15mm might be a bit short too
He's got his SI units all over the place. His French forefathers fought for nothing, apparently, and the folks at Bureau international des Poids et Mesures must be dismissively shrugging their shoulders like no-one's business...
... and the DENSITY of such a chocolate bar 😁 - Platinum would be light as a feather compared to it 😋😎.
@@lachlanjohnson8019 nooooo really?
You think so? Damn, that didnt even Cross my mind
@@jakobn4191 Well that was silly of you. I thought it was pretty obvious.
@Tony Marselle nope. But maybe i'll temper some.
This was such a beautiful episode. Merry Christmas Brotha.
I loved all the design. The writing on the chocolate is ok, but the design on the wrapping paper is so pleasing to look at!
At 1:34 I think you mixed up cm with mm. That seems like a very small chocolate bar.
Yeah hahahahaha
With a density of 111.11 g/cm^3
Shit happens written on a chocolate
Bad idea 😂😂
Brilliant! I love the gifts someone makes for me. Usually baking. But chocolate! Fabulous and memorable.
Brilliant. Love that the “piece by piece” bar doesn’t have scores or indentations to make small pieces. Just one big piece 👌
was hoping someone pointed this out when i realised it too haha
I am astonished about your packaging Alex! I think you used good fonts, and placed them quite nicely. Also the combo with Alex looks. Great!
Still the comic sans hurts, but i get the idea with the dremel... It is easier.
You can improve on the design if you use your own handwriting, Alex! (Or maybe create your own font lmao) The concept is really good though!
P.S. I wanna try that chocolate!!! 😭🤤
A good font with the same properties as comic sans (the simple, rounded font means it's easy to dremel into his mould/pattern) is Jellee- it's less overdone, but just as cute and convenient. Though his own handwriting would also be super fun!
Loved it Alex...you and your family and friends....have great days.
Very nice gifts..Everyone i know so far likes choclade. There are so many creative french people who make their videos only in french. That way they have no chance to presend their work to a wider audiance. Even English isnt my Motherslanguege it's the way to on youtube. Thank you Alex for your great work and inspiration.
I have a challenge for you:
dorm meals NO microwave, (only kettle if necessary)
Holy shit i love your videos you are basically the casey neistat of cooking like even your whole office is so diy and you have similar style ❤️
Amazing process; amazing results. Well done.
Alex your passion for all things culinary is just inspiring.
You are always pursuing a better way and offering your work up to experts regardless of the outcome, even if it isn’t quite what you hoped you learn from it and make sure next time it is right.
I have nothing but admiration for you and wish you great things for the future.
yo, ok, this is great BUT hear me out:
chocolate bars that are just a slate, with no market pieces, are kinda a pain in the ass to eat. When you're trying snapping a bit, the lack of ridges means that the stress is distributed sorta evenly between the pressure points, so you need to apply ~more~ pressure to make it snap, resulting in slightly more meltage on your fingers. Also, good luck controlling *where* it snaps, the chunks always end up either too big or too small and in weird angles.
PLUS the 'take it one piece at a time' kinda loses its double meaning this way.
You could argue "Ah but that these are just gifts, they're meant to be kept, not eaten", but that's clearly bullsh*t: a) that's an extremely sad fate for a chocolate bar, especially ones with so much effort and love put into them, and b) if you keep them in the wrapper you won't ever see the lettering inside, rendering all this thermoforming business completely pointless.
All this obviously means you should throw them all out and start again, this is verY IMPORTANT TO ME.
(the font choice on the other hand: perfectly aceptable, all these nerds need to get a life)
Solution is to not snap it at all, and just bite off your pieces, and eat the entire bar at once.
What he needs is a few chocolate experts. I'm more than happy to volunteer for the job. Hell, I don't even want money, he can pay me by giving me all the chocolate that doesn't make the cut lmao
if it is properly TEMPERED... it wil NOT melt on your fingers ;)
it is not the nerds who are complaining about Comic Sans, but the people who think they are nerds. Nerds instead ironically use comic sans for shits and giggles.
So many good typefaces - yet you choose comic sans * face palm *
Typefaces? Who calls fonts like that?
@@neongooroo designers?
"typeface is a particular design of type, while a font is a type in a particular size and weight. In short, a typeface usually gathers many fonts. Nowadays, with the digital design of documents, you often see those two words used rather interchangeably."
*Only has a round tipped tool*
*demands other fonts*
/facepalm
(Shown in the video, tip is rounded)
@@LazyLifeIFreak
Comic sans is not the only rounded font
@@neongooroo Literally everyone who uses 'fonts' professionally calls them by their correct title, Typeface.
That wrapping is so amazing!!
They turned out so great! Love the packaging. Fun series!
The comic sans debacle makes me wonder if Alex just doesn't have the same baggage with the font that americans do? There are other rounded typefaces like Jellee out there that would work fine with his dremel, I have to imagine he would have used one if he knew. It's probably just a cultural thing. Chill, people.
It's really not as huge a deal as people think it is; I hate seeing it used all over the place, but I've seen people actually write papers, including their thesis for their PhD, using Comic Sans. It's just that widely used IRL. And, quite frankly, it kinda works on the bars. Seriously, regardless of how much I dislike it, it's not half bad in this application.
I don't know about Alex, but I'm french and can testify that we, the internet french people, get repelled by comic sans too aha
But then it's widely used by teachers and amateur posters and whatnot :)
@@crocobot6083 Teachers use it because it helps people with dyslexia and potentially other learning disorders read the material better, since the characters aren't as easily confused. Also just saying: most of the people complaining about CS probably don't know anything about font design outside of how to change it so
COMIC SANS DETECTED!

Amazing work, genius editing!! Love it
Comic Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaans!
pretty good job, but personally i'd be a bit offended if i saw comic sans on my chocolate bar.
to complain without offering an alternative solution is boring, so heres my suggestion:
the brick layout is practical for a chocolate bar, it gives you groves where you can snap the chocolate into equal, sharable pieces. combine that with the encouraging words in an elegant way (with an actual font (or better yet, carve it by hand to make it more personal)) and you got yourself a chocolate bar that anyone can love and appreciate.
@D-MMA yes, its that bad.
So, if somebody made you a custom chocolate bar with lots of scroll work and engraving but it had comic sans, you would just take that bar and throw it in the trash bin and take piss on all of the hard work that somebody made?
@@UltraWindow why is it bad? if you dont mind me asking..
@@AmirAdzim its used as a lazy way to type out hand drawn letters, and its used a lot.
@@UltraWindow *lazy way to type out hand drawn letters* : dont think alex was lazy at all or ever was lazy seeing how he makes his videos. he probably likes comic sans for all we know and you really cant go at someone for having a different taste than you. also, something thats used a lot doesn't mean its bad. and if youre gonna be offended if someone hand makes a chocolate bar with comic sans on it FOR YOU, thats on you and not on the person. you werent the one making the chocolate bar in the first place. and dont get offended when other people have different *font* preferences; of all things, than you do. have a good day and happy holidays, sir :)

That is the girl that called half of the youtubers sociopaths and spouted all kind of uninformed dangerous opinions that no therapist should hold, let alone speak publically. You shouldn't really collaborate with that kind of a person.
Your uninformed toxicity is the thing that shouldn't be held to any standard, if you ask me. I roll my eyes into the back of my head every time someone broadcasts the fact that they have no idea what they're talking about on the topic in a comment, doesn't matter what video.
First of all - she didn't call "half of the youtubers" sociopaths, she was responding to Shane's questions and basically said 'uh, might be possible, we'd have to talk and see?' Second of all, everything she mentioned came straight out of the DSM-5, as well as books and articles that varied in quality - it was only as recently as 2013 that the supposed "uninformed, dangerous opinions" became "uninformed, dangerous opinions", after the DSM-4's revision in 2000 served to clear up nothing about the topic of "psychopathy" and "sociopathy" - never mind the fact that the DSM-5 has been slammed for many issues of its own.
But most importantly of all? You're not a fucking professional and the opinions were said on her off-hours; what so many of you armchair ethics counselors fail to realize is that careers in psychology are incredibly stressful and are not remotely an exact science. You're forced to experience the grittier, darker part behind every single person and try to enrich their life however you can.
God fucking forbid someone, on their off-hours, expresses the personal belief that it can be fucking taxing and disconcerting to deal with certain kinds of issues as a therapist. Because, guess what, IT IS. Mental illness isn't a fucking game, and even if it was, most people don't remotely have any of the rules to deal with it! That's why Kati's research was problematic, but it has literally nothing to do with her and everything to do with the fact that psychology as an ENTIRE FIELD is not a fucking science, yet everybody that goes into psychology and works directly with people HAS TO treat it like it's a science.
Fact: we understand jack fucking shit about the human psyche. We think we get close and are constantly proven wrong in our assumptions every couple of years, (and in regards to the DSM, human error, politics, and opinion factor heavily in confusing matters) but the nature of clinical psychology means that even if nobody can agree what's an exactly right method to deal with something, they have to act like an expert and like treatments will definitely work. There's no guarantee, but god damn it, they have to do something.
Hell, there's no guarantee that your patient will continue seeing you, and overcoming that kind of revolving door issue is a big problem in psychology.
The fact that Kati's stint on Shane's series (which was also very unflatteringly edited, by the way) has been both debunked and defended in equal measure is testament to what I'm saying. Nobody has the answers and not every fucking therapist should be expected to keep the same professional composure on their free time. Because that's stressful, unrealistic and nigh-inhumane, - and people like you are uninformed, hypocritical fucking dickheads for forcing that on not just Kati, but others in the field.
@@acedianPianist If things are so uncertain maybe you shouldn't present them as facts to general public instead of conducting academic research and consulting with other professionals on the topic. If you're going to present such a controversial topic to an uniformed audience you better fucking make sure to present the entire discourse and not your opinion.

But the butter and the powder are already mixed during the process so you melt it and add the sugar.. but there is no point in making chocolate from separated butter and powder since they were never separated during the process. So doesn't make sense!
@@jacqueschamma3045 Ok my bad then, but he could bought purest dark chocolate and go from it. A bit underwhelming series from what we usually get from Alex. But again, everyone gets their opinion and it doesn't mean I wouldn't watch him in the future :)
He used comic sans ... aaaand unsubscribed.
His cutter is and can't not be, round. What typeface do you suggest which has round corners and isn't Comic Sans?
Well, that's an overreaction.
@@Anonymouspock Helvetica Rounded, Arial Rounded, Din Rounded pretty much anything with rounded in its name.
@@Muhsaft86 but it's a rounded and easy font to do.
Nice wrapping design 👍🏻

They're beautiful!
Your videos are so cool. I love watching you think and be creative. So much fun.
I love these kind of heartfelt gifts. Someone spent time on this, thinking of you. I'd take this over an expensive gift any day.
That is a wonderful idea, Alex! thank you for that video. Good job!
This was so fun to watch! Nice job on the chocolate bars!
Thanks so much making this video! As a Belgian chocolate addict I made many attempt tempering chocolate. Going to try this technique soon. Looks foolproof to me. Thanks Alex!
