i love that claire really doesnt wanna make peanut butter, so when someone tells her she should, she just asks another person. She is such a character lolll
And all she has to do to make peanut butter is toast some peanuts and grind em up. Then add vanilla, salt, and sugar syrup... I literally thought that it took way more to make peanut butter. I'm gonna start making my own peanut butter since it's that damn easy.
@Sean Ramey And it's so good. You can add your own ingredients as well, like cinnamon and honey. I make a combination peanut/cashew butter, more cashew than peanut, cuz peanut overwhelms easily. Good luck!😄
Didn't get that. Like making pb must be the easiest thing she's ever done on this show. Peanuts, blender. Done. Maybe some honey, sugar or vanilla powder.

Can we get some Cadbury Eggs up in here, Claire? Just had one and thought of you. Try tapioca flour for the peanut butter. That was the first thing I thought would make the filling that texture you were looking for,
The whole canned air thing was stupid. She didn’t need to use air to spread out the chocolate because she’s doing a small batch and using different ingredients. It’s only used in factories because they’re making hundreds at a time. Just adding more boring filler content into these videos
I love how Chris is the most honest critic Claire has. And I feel that his opinion matter to her a lot. He is not gonna agree if its not really good. He is 100% honest with his opinions and suggestions. He is genuine. And always there to help Claire achieve a better result. 😍
I think he's honest, but I think he has poor taste in chocolate candies. A tempered chocolate peanut butter cup? Just why. That sounds like a downgrade.

If anybody happens to care, the reason canned air is cold is something called the Joule-Thomson effect. Most gases that are under pressure and expand quickly, like air leaving a bottle of canned air, drop in temperature.
Ya she was only getting that liquid burst because that’s what happens when you hold the can upside down or at too much of an angle for some reason. Would’ve been plenty safe to use
@@procrastinator547 Cue an "akshually" here, but this is a potentially interesting tidbit. These cans of "canned air" are not actually compressed air. When storing a gas, it takes up less space in a liquid state (in fact most of the gases we use are stored in a liquid state). At room temperature atmospheric air would require extreme pressures to be liquid. Most air dusters use hydrofluorons, and because of the fact they can be abused substances manufacturers will often put bitterents into the mixture. You probably wouldn't want to get bitterents into your food.
best ever ya it probably it would’ve been plenty safe. She didn’t need it tho. Those bitterants and other chemicals disperse immediately. You’d breath in just as much if not more just in your day to day life.
@@madmagyver9981 It also gives the chocolate a distinctly un-Reese's like mouthfeel. Tempering is a no-go. If it were easy to make them the way Reese's does it, we'd all do it. They have a whole series of things they do to get them right, they've just perfected their system and can do it on a mass-production level.
@@RabidDogma you have to understand, the mass produced recees peanut butter cups use compound not chocolate, so there is no need for tempering, also the filling is not really peanut butter. Yes there are peanuts but in order to be able to work with the product it has to be altered. Also never cool chocolate in the refrigerator, it should never get below 60 degrees or above 68 for good quality chocolate. I had unbelievable fortune to spend two weeks one on one with the worldwide expert on chocolate while working for Hebert candies in Shrewsbury MA. There is nothing like learning from the best of the best, a truly humbling and uplifting experience.
@@madmagyver9981 still tempering the chocolate would stray too far from the Reese's taste and feel. There are peanut butter cups where the chocolate has been tempered but they taste drastically different. Yes it's a gourmet Reese's, but the flavor should allude to the original. Otherwise the video would have to be titled gourmet peanut butter cups and leave the Reese's name out of it.
I think it's hilarious in the beginning of the video she mentions how she loves to put her Reese's in the freezer and then eat them straight from the freezer, which of cores firms the chocolate so that it snaps when you bite it, but she refused to to temper the chocolate.
I actually wish I could have the center frozen but the chocolate at its regular room temp softness. That sounds heavenly. Also, I don’t recall the chocolate ever getting to a snap level of hardness when frozen. I recall it being more like a stage between the bite of a well set fudge and snap level. Like semi firm.
Corey fun fact they put this bitterent into all types of products to keep people from eating and breathing things they aren't supposed to, like paint thinner I think and a few other products
Claire is such an enigma like in this video she pulls a geometry formula out of thin air but in the Jelly Belly video she thought she could mix melted wax with water
@@weaouw Yea, I don't get that, she wanted to use premade peanut butter the video would have basically been "How do dip peanut butter disks into non-tempered chocolate" :P
@@KalebPeters99 I think she realised that in the end. And also I can't really blame her for being a bit tired and even frustrated doing this stuff hahah, since she has to still keep making new episodes one after another, just when she gets to sigh in relief from succeeding in making one thing.
Making pb is an extremely easy task. Literally just pulse the ingredients in a blender/food processor. It can be as simple as peanuts. Maybe toast them, maybe add salt, maybe add honey. But 5 mins is all you really need.
That's a great idea. They could do gourmet flavors. I'm not sure what that would be, because I'm a heathen. Maybe champagne or tequila lime, creme brûlée.
the texture of reese's peanut butter is due to having less fat, so adding something like peanut flour (sometimes called powdered peanut butter, defatted peanuts ground into a powder) would help give you that "fluffy" kind of grainy texture

@TheArtRoosteryes, you can get high from it. but it's also EXTREMELY dangerous and pretty likely to kill you. idk why these teenagers huff cans of pressurized air and play with their lives when it's like, just buy weed instead, damn
Chemical engineer here. The canned air contains a few different nonflammable compounds. Typically difluotomethane. Some people use this as a way to get high(extremely dangerous, imagine brain freeze but in your lungs). I know of someone who died from freezing their lungs. Thus a buttering agent is typically added. The reason the air is cold when leaving the container can be explained by the ideal gas law. PV=nRT the gas leaving the container is going from high pressure to low pressure. To balance this the temperature drops. When held upside down the difluoromethane exits as a liquid because the pressure is high enough in the can for the gas to be in the two phase region, gas and solid state existing simultaneously.
Can we have toblerone!!!!! I really want to know how they make the honey nougat in there! I would just have a whole pice of the nougat just by it self!
As much as I love toblerone, It's just an riagular shaped milk chocolate with nuts and some nougats. Would it be really much of a chalenge ? (except maybe to get the form right ?)
S. M. That nougat is very hard to make i think, that would be the biggest challenge, cause normal nougat is more or the milk flavor with sticky texture, but the one in toblerone it taste like honey and hard caramel texture, i even try to find a recipe for that, but still couldn’t find any.
Rewatching this for the nth time. I just love how on point Chris's comments are. This is the gourmet version after all...but I also love it when Claire enjoys what she's making and trying.
I love how Chris is trying to cover for Brad by trying to make Claire to do something different and ultimately failing to convince her just like Brad XD
I think it was good that you didn't temper the chocolate otherwise it would've turned into peanut butter pralines instead of Reese's. Also please make Gourmet TimTams!!
@@peacockfeather-f7w She eventually did. I was scratching my head at that too. Keep banging and the air bubbles will come out without the use of a torch, too.
Fun fact, Girl Scouts were given recipes then baked their own cookies which they would bring door to door and sell to neighbors. If you look carefully you can still find recipes for original thin mints, trefoils (the shortbread cookies) and do-is-dos (the peanut butter sandwiches)
Chris: Claire you need to temper the chocolate, and make your own peanut butter. You need to bring something to this recipe. Claire: A couple days later . . . Chris: Uses pre-made Dulce de Leche for Caramel cakes.
@@ththypocritique okay and? he made the recipe as easy as possible bc it's meant to be made at home, are you gonna go ahead and make your own reese's all from scratch at home? no
Mobb Starr the premise of this is more making the food with a similar texture and flavour (or better flavour) without all the extra chemicals a lot of mass produced snacks and candy use.
I am starting to suspect the episodes are sponsored by the product. I'm not sure GSA would sponsor her to do this since they are not-for-profit. Would be such a great one though. Or Samoas because those have so much "gourmet" potential!!
I mean it says GOURMET Reece’s..... You’d expect at-least that effort, but I really enjoy these videos and Clare as a person so whatever she does I’d watch it either way!!
That's a no for me dawg. If she can make them taste better then the cardboard taste that usually have and put more flavoring in the middle then maybe she should try it.
I think it's supposed to be tempered. I mean, when they're warm and melty, they seem not tempered; but sort of freshly store-bought...they seem as tempered as a snickers.
As thin as she was able to get the chocolate, ya might not have too much squish. But if you like em frozen? You'd prolly like em tempered. That satisfying snap? Mmm
ive seen a lot of comments about claire hating these episodes. Personally i’ve assumed it’s more like an ongoing gag between the episodes that she “suffers” to make the gormet versions. Claire is smart and there’s no way she would let herself do something she dreaded every day.
@@DenvilX They're these thin dry pastry crusts, with like different sweet fillings and are usually frosted on top. You put them in the toaster but alot of people just eat them the way they are. Pretty good as a snack even though they're waaay too sweet lol
You know Chris actually has a very good point: “you’re trying to make it better.” Up until this point you’ve recreated the product and made it taste better by changing some of the ingredients. Maybe you should put your own personal flair on each treat. Love the show, love the test kitchen, if you’re reading this I wish you the best.
I would have tried adding a thin layer of homemade strawberry jelly and darker chocolate. That would have been gourmet af. Now it's just recreating the product, not making it gourmet
I agree why go through all that to make the same thing I would just skip it and buy a Reese’s. Claire always seems to get defensive whenever someone disagrees with her 🤷🏽♀️
You do know her legal name is "Pastry Chef" right? Her nickname is Claire, as it's obviously more accessible of a name. What people really don't know is that she's actually the reincarnation of the infamous Italian serial killer, Leonarda Cianciulli. As of right now, she's just researching and discovering new ways to dispose of the numerous victims she has murdered over the years, so she can make a profit and disperse the remains in delicious fashion. Every new gourmet video centered on a particular delicacy has been affected hours after the video has been uploaded. All I can say is that you should be on the lookout and please, stay away from high-class parties, she prefers high-quality ingredients, no offense of course.
Kenny H I’d say that if the test kitchen didn’t already have the equipment she needed and she has to get something else, or destroy something then it should count. But if she uses something she made in a past episode it wouldn’t be counted again.
Yeah I used to make these all the time when I in grade school, because my mom wouldn't buy candy but we always had all the ingredients. I watched Alton Brown make them. You can just microwave chocolate chips and the filling is just pb mixed with powdered sugar. 10 mins tops.
I actually kind of agree that a big part of the appeal of this series is seeing how even a highly trained professional can still struggle in the kitchen. It gives me an appreciation for how insanely efficient snack food production is if we can go down to 7-11 and buy them for $1.29 at any time of day.

For a sec I thought you wrote brain damage. I nearly fell off the chair, what brain?
Kit Farman it’s called Pam
@@KazyEXE Bittering agent.
She said canned air and i was like "CLAIRE NO"
When she put that kn and said it was air and used to clean computer, the first thing i thought of was people getting high and its def not just air!
Idk what they’re talking about. I’ve had so many Reeses’ stick to the paper.
Gourmet Kinder bueno please! Interested in how it could be done.
Kinder eggs with the surprise toy inside and everything.
Yes!¡!!!!!
Excuse me. Kinder Bueno is already gourmet.
Omg yes that's the only chocolate bar I eat
pisses me off i cant taste what she makes
You could follow the recipe at the end...
Tara Lynne that’s a whole mood
Tara Lynne you haven’t posted in 8 months, give us content.
Lol 😂
Tara Lynne omg this is it
Claire's the most relatable pastry Chef on the internet. Love this Chef.
Chris: "I think you need to temper the chocolate"
Claire: "I'm just going to continue to ignore that"

*What About Making Gourmet Kinder Bueno?*
YEEEESSSS
Finally an interesting suggestion
I keep asking for this every week, I think Claire is just too intimidated by it. It'll probably break her

You should make gourmet pop tarts
The universe can't handle that kind of paradox.
Please, Claire. Please PopTarts. My wife keeps suggesting it every time we watch a new one of these.
Great idea 🐵
YESSSSS
Samuel Blondahl pop tarts are already gourmet in its ownself
9:14 * rhoda came out of nowhere with the heat gun* 🤣🤣🤣
"my favorite tool"
@rem tromol Rhoda even got her own sound effect when she popped in.
9:13 jumpscared Clare is gold! lmao
she’s so amazing lol
Protect this women at all costs
Claire is a literal national treasure and must be protected at all costs.
Can I get an amen
She much temper her chocolate though
Please can we get the Secret Service on this please and thank you
then we must stop Nicolas Cage from getting to her
only Only if she cooperates and narrates lol
honestly make gourmet zebra cakes, thank u.
Michelle Platti yeeeeees!
I hadn't read your username, but when I read the comment the "honestly" at the beginning made me think of you hahahah
Next
I hear your voice reading this, especially «honestlyyy»
i prefer zebra cake rolls
*Chris livin' rent free in her head this whole episode.*
Claire:
Chris: it's free real estate
normal people: its great
claire: DeLiGhTfUL
Merch: I'm not tempering the chocolate.
Mellissa YES
Haha awesome idea!! Love you Mellissa!! ❤️ I watch every one of your videos. Claire is my fave from BA!!
Also Merch: Anything but Hydration
I would buy that
Can we have toblerone!!!!! I really want to know how they make the honey nougat in there! I would just have a whole pice of the nougat just by it self!
Yes! I love toblerone!
Yesssss!!!!
I feel like that's gonna be a tough one, but I also really want it to happen!
As much as I love toblerone, It's just an riagular shaped milk chocolate with nuts and some nougats. Would it be really much of a chalenge ? (except maybe to get the form right ?)
S. M. That nougat is very hard to make i think, that would be the biggest challenge, cause normal nougat is more or the milk flavor with sticky texture, but the one in toblerone it taste like honey and hard caramel texture, i even try to find a recipe for that, but still couldn’t find any.
Chris: I think you should temper the chocolate
Claire: "no, i don't think i will"
Rewatching this for the nth time. I just love how on point Chris's comments are. This is the gourmet version after all...but I also love it when Claire enjoys what she's making and trying.
I love how Chris is trying to cover for Brad by trying to make Claire to do something different and ultimately failing to convince her just like Brad XD
Where is Brad?
@@mitchellhumbard1130 He has a new travel series, he's probably working on that.
I think it was good that you didn't temper the chocolate otherwise it would've turned into peanut butter pralines instead of Reese's. Also please make Gourmet TimTams!!
Yes make them
YESSS
TimTams and Poptarts!!
@@rubyg6919 You're a GENIUS, I need to see gourmet Poptarts…
Auzzie auzzie Auzzie oi oi oi
Claire: so Chris is it good?
Chris: well yes but actually no
The entire time I’m thinking
“WHY DOESNG SHE BANG THE PAN ON THE TABLE TO GET THE TOP COAT OF CHOCLATE SMOOTH?????”
because thats so fast and they want to make the video longer.....nooo just kidding, they didn't figure it out.
@@peacockfeather-f7w She eventually did. I was scratching my head at that too. Keep banging and the air bubbles will come out without the use of a torch, too.
Just a little tap on a table bc if she bangs the peanut will sink to the bottom
Please make gourmet thin mints! They’re so addicting and amazing and I’d love to see Claire struggle with them!
I would use the Oreo recipe and add some mint leaves or peppermint extract, then a *quick* chockolate dip
I love the sad music when he starts saying to temper the chocolate and make the peanut butter.
Hahahaha I know right! I loved when they focused on her face 🤣🤣
The actual challenge is to watch this video without wanting to eat Reese’s.
So true!!!!🤣🤣🤣🍽
Yeah, well, I failed that one. I'm sitting here eating white Reese's peanut butter eggs. Those have even more peanut butter in them than the cups!
Easy, it's called allergies xD
Alchemist's Fire ikr I was legit going to reply that but I wanted to check if anyone said that
I saw the title and wanted reese's pieces 😂
alternative title: Chris bullying Claire and also, somehow, soft chocolate
LOL bullying?? you were the kid in school that got told his shoes were dirty and thought everyone hated you and you were being abused.. lmaoooo.
oShadowkun I just know you’re not fun at parties
this is something i could actually make at home
I am thinking the same thing.
thats what i was thinking just now!
yeahhh my first thought when i saw it!
Yeah this one wasn’t that involved.
I love your channel man
I ADORE REESE'S AND I ADORE CLAIRE AND I ADORE HER TRYING TO BLOW THE CHOCOLATE PUFFS DOWN
hahahahah
Gourmet girl scout cookies? At least 3 diff. Flavors?
Fun fact, Girl Scouts were given recipes then baked their own cookies which they would bring door to door and sell to neighbors. If you look carefully you can still find recipes for original thin mints, trefoils (the shortbread cookies) and do-is-dos (the peanut butter sandwiches)
@@kelzbelz313 oh wow i didnt know that...thx for the fun fact
Jason M Samoa’s or thin mints & I’m in!!
yea mint thins and samoas and i guess dealers choice for the third
YESSSSSS
That scene where chis is telling her that she "needs to bring something to this" kills me, great editing
Chris: Claire you need to temper the chocolate, and make your own peanut butter. You need to bring something to this recipe.
Claire:
A couple days later . . .
Chris: Uses pre-made Dulce de Leche for Caramel cakes.
tbf the point of this series is taking a food and making a gourmet version. Chris video was meant more for home cooking.
@@yepyep2696 exactly, Chris gets it. He's not the one professing to make "gourmet" versions of anything.
Hence Chris doesn't break a million views and fans demanded Claire come back to the channel
@@ththypocritique okay and? he made the recipe as easy as possible bc it's meant to be made at home, are you gonna go ahead and make your own reese's all from scratch at home? no
Mobb Starr the premise of this is more making the food with a similar texture and flavour (or better flavour) without all the extra chemicals a lot of mass produced snacks and candy use.
*PLEASE DO THIN MINT GIRL SCOUT COOKIES*
Ella Blue they have recipe on lock and key
Lanacology You do realize this series is about Claire discovering alternate recipes, no?
I am starting to suspect the episodes are sponsored by the product. I'm not sure GSA would sponsor her to do this since they are not-for-profit. Would be such a great one though. Or Samoas because those have so much "gourmet" potential!!
Ohh ya
I think you have to temper chocolate for those...
You guys wonder why Clare just rocks the gray streak because y’all stressing her out with having to make peanut butter from scratch lol
Joyce Donnelly She’s very hardworking - the opposite of lazy.
@@joycedonnelly9987 go make your own peanut butter and leave claire alone
Joyce Donnelly I don’t see you trying to replicate Reese’s cups lol
james oath so she/he can’t commet on something without doing themselves?? Shot opp
I mean it says GOURMET Reece’s..... You’d expect at-least that effort, but I really enjoy these videos and Clare as a person so whatever she does I’d watch it either way!!
i really would have liked her to make a Reese's with tempered chocolate to see how different it would be.
The problem with the chocolate being tempered is that, when you bite down, it would cause the peanut butter to ooze out.
Literally every couple:
Brad: "I'm not mad, just a little disappointed"
Claire: "Are you talking about me?"
Brad: "No"
THEYRE A COUPLE?????
L13i nope
I ship them so hard 😂😂😂
@Bill O'Brien but i sure hope they're a couple of friends
You should make a pop tart.
Yesss
VIP SiDEZ how is this still not the ONLY COMMENT THAT MATTERS
That's a no for me dawg. If she can make them taste better then the cardboard taste that usually have and put more flavoring in the middle then maybe she should try it.
@@cakilguldal1 true
Sounds like Chris is having a TEMPER-tantrum
got eeem
Lol comment of the year right here!
You win 😂
😛
I really wanted to see what tempered chocolate reese's looked like. They sound bomb af.
it would look the same it just makes the chocolate harder
no
Me too. Reese’s with a nice snap would be cool.
Justin’s pb cups, they sell them at target.
The top would crackle and fall off after a bite. It would suck
Man that dude REALLY wants you to temper the chocolate
She should've just *air brushed him in the face*
No CHRIS is great
He's seen your comments, rest assured.
Edit: typo
Poli Flowers TEMPER THE DAMN CHOCOLATE
I think it's supposed to be tempered. I mean, when they're warm and melty, they seem not tempered; but sort of freshly store-bought...they seem as tempered as a snickers.
I would like to see Claire make some bubblegum
that would be neat to see.
200th like
lyla the blob wooo
Yasss.
I’ve watched this from episode 1 and BUBBLE GUM is a great idea! 💖💖💖💖💖
Next Claire need to make a Toaster Strudel AND/OR PopTarts
If I could like this multiple times, I would. I need this video, like, yesterday
Kevin Lantz omg I was thinking the same thing
“Stop trying to make tempered chocolate happen, Chris, it’s not going to happen.” - Claire, probably.
But what if the chocolate was T E M P E R E D
The villain was 100% right this time!
Claire: *TRIGGERED*
If the chocolate was tempered it would squeeze the filling out as you bite. Non-tempered is the way to go.
We didn’t get to see so no telling how it would’ve turned out
As thin as she was able to get the chocolate, ya might not have too much squish. But if you like em frozen? You'd prolly like em tempered. That satisfying snap? Mmm
ive seen a lot of comments about claire hating these episodes. Personally i’ve assumed it’s more like an ongoing gag between the episodes that she “suffers” to make the gormet versions. Claire is smart and there’s no way she would let herself do something she dreaded every day.
it's called a job lol it clearly stresses her out a lot but it's played as a gag cause otherwise it'd be sad..
Lots of smart people do jobs that make them suffer. Find me one academic who won’t say that the job is suffering (even if they also love it).
PROTIP: anonymous comments on the internet have less credibility than graffiti scrawled on a bathroom wall.
Video should be called Clare doesn't want to temper chocolate
Aaron Cartmill Or “Claire doesn’t want to make peanut butter” 🤣
Both work well
Baaahahaha. Yep
who’s clare
Or Claire doesn’t want to do her job 🤷🏽♀️
I'm so late. BUT. They could've used a blow dryer on the cold setting for spreading out the choccie top layerrrrrr
I think Claire should make Gourmet Starburst. I love those things.
Patrick Hyde yes this needs to happen
lmao im eating starburst right now
You should do gourmet sour patch kids!! And where's Brad?
half-sour saffitz making sour patch kids?? saffitz patch kids..?
SAFFITZ PATCH KIDS!!!!! I want that episode!
He left
@@jedidkj NO! I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT 😭
@@jedidkj Nope. See my comment below and download the new BA streaming app.
Pleeeaaseee do a whole video series of gourmet Girl Scout cookies
Andrew I literally had the same idea, and then read your comment 2 seconds later.
Ha
Where are they supposed to get that many Girl Scouts?
1950: we will have flying cars in the future!
2019: *can of air*
i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again... MAKE HOMEMADE POP TARTS
THE SWEET RAVIOLI
What is pop tarts?
This is something that could really be made well and improved especially with her experience !
@@DenvilX They're these thin dry pastry crusts, with like different sweet fillings and are usually frosted on top. You put them in the toaster but alot of people just eat them the way they are. Pretty good as a snack even though they're waaay too sweet lol
@@esayem7746 usa exclusive I suppose
You know Chris actually has a very good point: “you’re trying to make it better.” Up until this point you’ve recreated the product and made it taste better by changing some of the ingredients. Maybe you should put your own personal flair on each treat. Love the show, love the test kitchen, if you’re reading this I wish you the best.
Orphan Squirrel yes it says they are making a “gourmet” version in the description. Not simply recreating it
I would have tried adding a thin layer of homemade strawberry jelly and darker chocolate. That would have been gourmet af. Now it's just recreating the product, not making it gourmet
you mean personal claire on each treat? xd
I agree why go through all that to make the same thing I would just skip it and buy a Reese’s. Claire always seems to get defensive whenever someone disagrees with her 🤷🏽♀️
And tempering is pretty simple if you use a sous vide machine like alex did
"Pastry Chef" We all know it's Claire at this point so you guys can just title it "Claire attempts" from now on.
From: All of us
It's for the non-regulars
It's for the search engines, no for humans completely.
You do know her legal name is "Pastry Chef" right? Her nickname is Claire, as it's obviously more accessible of a name. What people really don't know is that she's actually the reincarnation of the infamous Italian serial killer, Leonarda Cianciulli.
As of right now, she's just researching and discovering new ways to dispose of the numerous victims she has murdered over the years, so she can make a profit and disperse the remains in delicious fashion. Every new gourmet video centered on a particular delicacy has been affected hours after the video has been uploaded. All I can say is that you should be on the lookout and please, stay away from high-class parties, she prefers high-quality ingredients, no offense of course.
Medicinal Milk I hope you write books.
I love how everyone came together to try and solve the canned air problem
Instead of raiding Area 51 and rescuing Aliens lets raid the kitchen and rescue Claire
Idk if raiding the world trade center is a much better idea 😬
@@rubyblack6682 bro let's *CRASH* into the world trade center
Ruby Black THEY’RE IN THE WORLD TRADE CENTER?!!! SERIOUSLY?
@@LeleMiaz yes they are 😬
I ruined the 666 likes
Could you guys add a cost comparison to this series? That would be really cool to see
Zachary Hatch ok
This Kid yes. But I want to know how much more.
Are you including the cost of all the equipment that Clair destroys or...?
Kenny H I’d say that if the test kitchen didn’t already have the equipment she needed and she has to get something else, or destroy something then it should count. But if she uses something she made in a past episode it wouldn’t be counted again.
But how do you account for scale of production?
2 things.
1) do homemade pop tarts!!
2) where is Brad's it's alive!!??
make the poptarts water flavored
Woudur
This is incredibly easy compared to the others.
Yea,no mental breakdown
Yeah I used to make these all the time when I in grade school, because my mom wouldn't buy candy but we always had all the ingredients. I watched Alton Brown make them. You can just microwave chocolate chips and the filling is just pb mixed with powdered sugar. 10 mins tops.
I think it's safe to say that Claire is officially a UA-cam hero now.
This attempts episode doesn’t count, Claire didn’t suffer enough.
she poisoned a cup, got harassed for not tempering the chocolate, and had ptsd when brad scolded her. i think thats pretty average suffering
I actually kind of agree that a big part of the appeal of this series is seeing how even a highly trained professional can still struggle in the kitchen.
It gives me an appreciation for how insanely efficient snack food production is if we can go down to 7-11 and buy them for $1.29 at any time of day.
😂😂😭
It isn't actually about seeing her suffer, its about seeing her triumph over challenge. If she doesn't struggle it wasn't a hard enough challenge.
Right?! Watching her pull her hair out makes the victory so much better
Claire is great. Now let's torture her by forcing her to make tootsie roll pops or blow pops.
Why Torture as a word choice? This is what's wrong with people today. Everyone is Evil.
