What if the pandemic grows as you are there and they won’t let you come back? I personally would reschedule until things are more known and you know what you are getting yourself into. No trip is worth risking your life. Prayers for you both. 💜
patinpatin12 that’s very true!! God forbid someone gets so sick and dies... imagine trying to bring a loved in back from overseas!! It’s just not worth the risk! Arcades will he closed in no time anyways.
I think you guys should postpone your trip to Japan😣 Every school is shut down in Japan right now and all of the fun places are closed as well. I don't think it's safe to go, the virus could spread even more from travelers that are traveling to Japan, South Korea and other places right now. Please stay safe and rethink your trip.....😓
I agree. It’s very irresponsible to go somewhere that has a high volume of Corona and being it back somewhere that doesn’t have as much. I think they should postpone. Not worth the risk imo.
So,as I am a university student studying in Hong Kong for a doctor's degree.I personally also need to be helping people in Hong Kong.According to my head doctor of the hospital I am working at.The coronavirus will spread more and more to South Korea and Japan.Japan though is quite a dangerous place to be travelling to currently.Though you are going in the future.I would recommend that you guys postpone your trip to Japan as for safety measures.Problems are that a lot of Japanese currently who go out are not wearing masks as they aren't that afraid.I would also recommend you guys to just keep your own hygiene as well as possible.On the aeroplane,I would recommend you as there shouldn't be that many people on the flight.I would recommend still wearing masks and sitting around 1 to 2m apart from other People.As for the amusement parks.I am not sure that they will open anytime soon.So you may expect not to be able to do too much stuff.I will also recommend dining somewhere where there is less people.Cooking in the apartment though would be my recommendation.Yry to avoid eating as much food that is cold or exposed to air for long periods of time.As the germs may stick on the food. Hope you guys can have a safe trip!
Ragan Meeter Im sure they booed ahead of time but I'm sure they could've Just got a refund and postponed... But what's done is done and I hope they are safe where they are
@@RoyalRoses they are just too imature and childish to respect this rule of not traveling in this period of time...i love their videos but i can honestly tell they are selfish in this regard and not mature with their decision at all.
That's not chocolate, that's candy melts...its what's put on the outside of cake pops..it makes a hard ish shell coating. Boil some water in a pan..put a glass bowl onto of the boiling water ( make sure the water isnt touching the bowl) then melt the chocolate that way.
You should consider others , if you go you will be taking supplies that are already limited for the people that live there . Also even if you're healthy you can still pass it to young , elderly, and people with weakened immune systems. It's not worth going there to play arcade games. I hope you reconsider .
Angel and Cris- I love watching your content, I've been looking forward to your Japan trip- but I have to say it's not worth it right now. What with Corona running rampant all over the world and no cure in sight, it's just not safe to travel, what with all the airlines closing routes and who knows what we're going to have to do to deal with the epidemic- not to mention all the upcoming craziness with the Olympics still being on for this summer in Tokyo, so transportation will be a freaking nightmare there, too. My suggestion? Japan and all the claw machines/coin pushers will still be there next year, and as much as I and the rest of your viewers would love to see you run wild winning toys/anime figures/large piles of chocolate, it's just not worth the risk right now. Give science a year to deal with the virus, and then save your money and go for longer/do more things next year, once this is all done and dealt with. It's not worth the time or trouble, and Japan will still be there next year. It's better to be safe than sorry this time, guys. Masks won't help, everything's closed, people don't want to get exposed, airlines are stopping service... it's not worth the risk to you and yours, you know?
The thing I heard was masks don’t help. The masks you need are not sold to the general population. Regular masks sold in stores don’t have the proper protection to prevent people from getting sick.
I know you're not worried about getting it since you're young enough to fight it well, but what if you brought it back and exposed your family to it. That is the biggest thing I'm worried about. I have three kids in school that get exposed to things all the time and we'd be fine just like getting the flu, but if my mom who is high risk got it then it could be really bad for her. Just hopefully you're thinking bigger than just your own fun you want to have over there since this is a really serious virus for anybody over 50. You could always reschedule for after a vaccine is released and things settle down.
I agree with you... One thing, being young does not necessarily give them immunity... There have been hundreds of young adults in China who have died from this... The elderly and sick are more susceptible, but that does not mean they could not get it and die from it.... I hope they would have more consideration above their own needs; to think about others, for instance, like you mentioned your mother...
I know you're adults that can make your own decisions, just be careful and really think it through before you go. Do your research, and be prepared that all flights could and probably will be canceled for a bit anyway. Coming from a long time fan, I'm sure you guys are trying to make the most responsible decision. Be careful and thoughtful, guys!
Hi guys! Please be safe heading to Japan! Just a quick note on the chocolate, first try getting white chocolate chips instead of melting chips. You will find them on the baking aisle. Next make sure you use a microwave safe bowl, preferably a glass bowl, but a ceramic bowl will work as well. Next make sure you wash you strawberries, then let them dry throughly! The reason the chocolate seized up with the milk was because liquid and chocolate do not like each other! Also make sure your strawberries are at room temperature, again cold strawberries will seize the chocolate. To melt the chocolate add the chips to the bowl and microwave in 30 sec intervals, stirring in between. The chips will look like they aren’t going to melt but just make sure you keep stirring them. Dip the strawberries and my tip is use the strawberry leaves to use as a handle to dip. I hope this helps! Chocolate covered strawberries are my moms favorite and I make them all the time for her. In fact I have already made them 3 times this month for my family. Good luck! And sorry for the long comment. Ashley💕
You should use the bubble boil way. Just take a small sauce panda and add water to about hafth way. Then take a glass boil and put it over the land of water with the chocolate in the bowl. Turn it on a medium heat and keep storing the chocolate. You can add coconut oil or some butter to make the chocolate kor smooth. This way is one of the best ways to melt chocolate because its Easter on the chocolate.
Candy melts never melt right in the microwave I always do the double boil method get a pot boil water and then put a bowl on top and pour the candy melts and stir till melted always works for me
I would melt the chocolate on the stove and keep it on a low heat while you eat it so it doesn’t get dry. It will definitely work to dip the strawberries into. Let me know if this works for you guys!
So you have to add warm Milk to the chocolate if your wanting to make a dip. Cold milk will cause the chocolate to seize up. And it won’t take much milk to thin out the chocolate. I melt mine in the microwave stirring every 15 seconds until smooth!
I know you guys really want to go but you need to think about everyone else. You both could get it and not even have symptoms but bring it back to the USA and spread it to others who WILL die from it. Im personally infuriated that they are still letting people travel. Your fun is not worth the lives of others. Nobody's fun/business/vacation is. If you do go, please just stay there. Its not worth risking more people getting infected or dying from it here. If you choose that your trip is more important then that, and you get quarantined, separated, stuck there, ect. Just know it was your choice, and your decision and would be preferred by anyone who can die from this. Just don't go. Its seriously selfish to go at this point. Im a member and have supported you for years so dont anybody say im just a hater. These are the facts.
I have watched them for years as well and enjoyed their videos... What you said is dead on accurate and you are not hating, your stating the facts.. What I wonder, and I might be wrong... Here is goes... I think maybe they're milking this will we or won't we just to garner more attention... I think they already know their decision... I hope I am wrong because if I am right I will not watch them anymore...
@@TheSteel2011 omg thats a crazy theory and honestly would be so disappointing. I really dont think they would but i would be heartbroken if that were true. They really really need to not go and put it out to the world so we can all chill lol. After watching them for so long its so hard not to be worried.
I agree, but the reason for my suspicion is how Angel puts the header in bold letters advertising it on this video. I would think you would just say something in normal comments during the video, yet they are also clever Marketers so that is what they do...
I have taken baking classes and know quite a bit, and for candy melts like that if you want it to be thinner there is a special oil flakes called ez thin to put in the chocolate. Read the instructions! Hopefully you see this!!
White chocolate melt 30sec stir heat another 30sec stir again then heat again 15sec but if your chocolate is too thick you can add a very little vegetable oil or a little coconut oil can do the same with milk and dark chocolate but the best way to melt chocolate is in a double boiler (pot with water and bowl over it) comes out smoother
To get smooth creamy chocolate put the chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds mix it and repeat. I will melt the chocolate to where there is still some chuncks of chocolate and mix until smooth and melted. If you put chocolate in the microwave to long it will get messed up or get any liquid in it you dont have to have it fully melted you can just mix it until smooth. Chocolate does not need to be heated long because chocolate will melt in you hand/pocket so it does not have to be extremely hot.
You two with your pooping bag of chocolate 😃 remind me of friends I had when living in Chicago. Great people, loads of fun, and never afraid of trying something new. 😏 These are the best years of your lives, and it's fantastic that you have so many videos that record the fun you're having. Never lose your childish (not a bad thing) delight in life, and it will keep you forever young. 💕
PLEASE reconsider. The situation is getting worse by the day. If one of you get any symptoms while you're there, you'll be separated and possibly stuck there. Japan has been around for thousands of years, it's not going anywhere!
Hey guys. I’m actually a pastry chef. Milk or water will actually seize the chocolate. You will need to add a little bit vegetable shortening to the chocolate to help it melt easier. And only melt the chocolate 30 seconds increments. Hope that helps!
Ok for melted chocolate, this is the best way to do it ...... I use this method all the time as I make loads of cakes and things that need melted chocolate. Put some water in a pan, bring to a simmer...where the water is starting to bubble but not boiling. Next put chocolate pieces into a bowl, which you are going to place into the pan. The water should reach the bottom of the bowl only, ( Crystal do not let the water to into the bowl lol) Once the chocolate has started to melt sir it until it's all melted. Good luck x
I love you guys so much and your videos make my day. I really don’t want to lose some of my favorite people. Your lives are more important. I love you guys and I support your decision, but I’m worried about you both. Please postpone your trip because I love you guys and I don’t want you getting sick.
I’m currently in Japan right now. If you guys are really still on planning to go, I think you should be ready about things selling out fast, and making sure you have enough stocks of everything. Even though the government’s been trying to tell people not to hoard toilet papers, and debunking the rumors, people are still hoarding them like crazy. Some stores are also running out of instant food, like instant noodles, canned food, etc. People might start hoarding feminine products, water, etc. So Crys should bring enough feminine products for herself just in case. I don’t know if you can do much, since lots of places are closing down, and all events/concerts until April have been cancelled. It’s really not recommended here to go out too much. But the important thing is to always be aware of your surroundings. Always wash your hands, don’t go into places that are crowded, and make it a habit to always watch the news! Hopefully, the situation gets better when you guys get here, so you can fully enjoy your trip.
You took your container of chocolate out of the microwave and stirred it which is exactly what you are supposed to do. When you melt any kind of chocolate (pieces of a chocolate bar, chocolate chips, chocolate wafers, etc....), you put it in for 30 seconds at a time. After the first 30 seconds, you take the bowl out of the microwave and stir the chocolate. If it is not 100% melted, you put the bowl back in the microwave for another 30 seconds and take it out/stir the chocolate again. This process gets repeated until the chocolate is melted.
Just melt the chocolate for 1min or 2min first. Then do it in 15 to 20 seconds intervals, always stirring. Keep doing it in intervals until you get the consistency you want. If you do this it doesn’t burn.
For the chocolate to be “runny” do a double boiler so water in a pot and then a bowl on top then pour some chocolate in and stir it then add a little bit of OIL then keep stirring until runny and then but the in the refrigerator for about 20min
Here’s a tip for you so the stickers stay on spray them with hair spray or use a clear nail polish 😀❤️ also plz stay safe if you do travel to Japan also melt choc in glass bowl xx
You heat chocolate in micro in 20-30 second intervals so no, removing it over and over does not hurt it. You want to do it that way and you need to stir it a lot, a lot!! as it starts to melt. You shouldn't need to do more than 3 times tho...check each time and stir!! If it's melting and there is still chunks of chocolate...keep stirring! It will melt. Don't over heat it or it will solidify again and become hard and dry! You want to add milk or cream if you are heating on the stove in a double boiler. It will likely stay runny so if you want the chocolate to harden on your fruit, don't add milk.
The toilet paper has run out in Cornwall, UK too! It's ridiculous. Those masks are not going to protect you from anything, even a common cold as the breathing holes in them are too big. Seems like a rather big risk travelling to Japan. My friend has decided not to go right now because of everything that's going on. It's not worth it.
I’ve been wondering if you were still going to go to Japan. Be careful if you choose to go still. I have a lot of friends saying masks, tp, bread hand sanitizer is sold out. I really hope you decide not to go.
I’m going to make this comment section a little bit less scary (I know this is a serious matter) but y’all are honestly couple goals. Y’alls relationship is so cute and I can’t wait to be this silly and fun with my husband in the future. Love y’all ❤️❤️
It truly is kinda irresponsible traveling to japan rn... what's the rush? wait until things simmer down. There are PLENTY of other safer places to enjoy.
I don’t think you guys should go for what’s going around the world right now people getting sick please don’t go When you play those games be careful don’t get sick
Candy melts aren't used for coating strawberries. You need actual chocolate melting buttons used for cooking then you put it in the fridge to set. The coronavirus panic is insane! I'm lucky I'm in an area in Aus that the panic hasn't hit as even Melbourne is still 2 hours drive away. Sydney is having the intense panic.
I think what would work instead of getting modeling-like-chocolate that will turn hard in a few minutes,is just plain old white chocolate! So that would be a lot more easier to make white chocolate dipped strawberries!
When I make dipped strawberries I warm heavy cream up for about 45 seconds, then put in chocolate chips and let it sit about 2 or 3 minutes with a plate over the bowl. After that just stir and stir and store till it’s mixed.
you can add a little bit of coconut oil to loosen it up a bit, one teaspoon at a time at most three per bag ...do not add any water or water based things ie milk, juice etc. it will cause it to seize up get chunky..ALSO DO NOT EVER MICROWAVE THE BAG, use a container...... I use pyrex measuring cup... .. can also add corn oil as well. ..... I make chocolate all the time used to have a small business making them... Have fun and enjoy.
You need to melt it in a double boiler or a candy melter appliance. Then it gets super liquidy and you can just dip them with toothpicks or a fork. You need to use more chocolate though so it'll be deep enough to submerge the berries
I think you guys already know but big arcade companies are closed till March 14th. I also have a plan to move to US in May so I wish your plan will be fine too!
You should try to put the chocolate in the pot melt the chocolate in the pot and dip the strawberry in the pot works so Amazing. I did that before works amazing melt chocolate on the stove. You supposed to put the chocolate strawberry in the freezer and wait until 35 minutes to eat it.
white chocolate never melts as creamy and milk, if you add liquid like milk it breaks, that was the cottage cheese lookling , if you want is smother add one or two drops of oil
You should put the chocolate in a glass bowl in pieces and put on top of a boiling pan of water and stir till the chocolate melts. 🤗😍💖💙📸👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You should have bought white chocolate chips not candy melts. Then put them in a dry bowl and melt in 30 sec intervals in the microwave until it’s melted. You can also add a small drizzle of oil into the chocolate to make it smooth so you can dip the strawberries into it.
I put half cup of white choc buds Cadbury , melt on 25 sec take out and mix each time .stick a screen in the strawberry and dip it then stand them on foam to set yummm 😋 Have had to make 66 cake pops within the last week .
It annoys me a bit that you guys aren't responding to the very very valid points that people are making. Not only is it dangerous for you, but quite selfish and dangerous for others. You guys have your entire lives to go to Japan for as long as you want, you really really should just wait a few months, this is such a bad idea.
I am glad you aren't getting caught up in the overreaction to the COVID-19 outbreak. Yes, precautions should be taken, which looks like you have the right idea, but to act like you are going to die like some people are acting like its utterly ridiculous. Imagine if people reacted to the common cold or the common flu the same way.
You should add coconut oil to the chocolate melts I usually add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil for each cup of chocolate I have and it thins out the chocolate.❤️
I almost asked about a week ago if you were still going to Japan but I figured other people would ask and you'd answer eventually so I didn't ;) also it's easier to melt chocolate on the stove stir until melted once it is hot enough. The microwave always heats un even... I use to do detail chocolate candy molding . The stove will melt it faster. That's why people shouldn't heat baby bottles in the microwave. Because microwaves heat un even, and parts of the item maybe piping hot while other parts may still be cold .
If you boil some water put it into a sauce pan then put a bowl with chocolate inside on top of the pan you will get perfect melted chocolate 👌 Make sure its a big bowl (glass is best) that sits on top of sauce pan, sort of like a steamer, you dont need much boiling water in pan about a quarter full. 😘
You guys are so cute! Just have to start off saying that :) I could never get tired of Strawberries. They are so good!. You guys stay safe in Japan if Your plans don't change.
Use a double boiler to melt chocolate where u put water in a saucepan where it doesn’t touch the bowl then u put a bowl with your chocolate in the bowl on top then let the chocolate melt
To cook that kind of choc you put it in wave for 30 second at a time over n over till it completely melts a small amount should go about 4 to 5 times n then let them sit in fridge to harden
Best way to melt chocolate is in a glass bowl over a saucepan of boiling water but don't let the bottom of the bowl touch the water or the chocolate can burn
*I Use A Double Boiler...When Melting Chocolate. I Go To My Candy Store...And Get What's Called Melt Aways. They're Little Discs Of Chocolate. I Leave The Stems On The Strawberries And I Dip Up To The Stem. Put Them On Wax Paper...I Cool Them Then Dip, Again. Try Making Double Dipped Chocolate Covered Oreos.*
Chocolate in the microwave is tricky as you can't tell. But u start with 20 to 30 seconds. Stir then 5 to 10 second after that but the chocolate will melt it's self after it's started . You will still see chunks but just keep stirring it WILL melt. U can even microwave it again once it starts getting thick but ONLY 5 secs at a time. Your problem is your over doing it. It has to be chunky and just stir stir stir then it will be smooth. And chunky I mean like not melted yet not seized up lol. Try my method next time please
It seems like you guys aren’t taking it serious, the responsible thing to do is postpone for another time, really isn’t worth risking. Y’all are crazy lol
Melt the chocolate for one minute, take out and stir. If still chunky put back in microwave for 30 seconds, ale out and stir till smooth. Dip strawberries into the chocolate.
Guys even kawaii arcade masters put up a video stating people should postpone their travel plans to japan as it’s not safe! Please think about it logically, places will be closed off for a while and you’ll be stuck there and not be able to do much which would suck. Plus it’s not worth the risk of catching it and passing it on. No one wants to see you guys get sick, you can tell with all the comments. Love you guys please stay safe.
I have my own at home pastry business in Vegas! You aren’t supposed to add water or liquid into chocolate! If you want to smooth it out use coconut oil and melt it in 30 second fragments!
leaving it in the microwave for longer can cause the chocolate to over heat and burn, that’s another reason for it being thick! Working with chocolate is very difficult and takes time to master!!
Hi guys just found this and my view is that if u r to go then u will go with god speed.because in my eyes God is in control be wise and smart go with god speed and if not u have a life time I will keep u in my prayers until u return.much love from cali🐒🐷🌹🌹😊😊
Put the bowl with chocolate inside a bowl of boiling water kinda like a double boiler. Or boil water in pan and put bowl on boiling water with chocolate in it shouldn't burn or scorch
I just worry that u guys could be quarantined for 2 weeks before you are even allowed to step foot in Japan. You will be wanting to have fun instead of worrying about every cough or things you touch. Please reconsider for now. I heard that the Sakura season stuff possibly wont be going on because they are urging people not to have parties in the park and there is nothing to really do there until later this month when things reopen, if they even reopen soon. Yes of course the trees are still blooming, but is it really worth it to get sick just to see them. Also how crowded will the amusement parks be when they do reopen. I bet over crowded. I have even started thinking that I shouldnt go to a rock concert here in California, that I really want to go to, because of this virus and the band has recently done shows in Europe. I understand it is very hard to postpone or cancel plans, but your health is most important.
u put the pot of hot water on the stove. with a big metal bowl on top and u put the choc chips in the metal bowl with the burner on and it will melt the chocolate and u can dip the strawberries in the chocolate
Melt the chocolate in a bowl over boiling water. Don't let the boiled water touch the bowl, wait for the chocolate to start melting and start to stir. Not to much. Once the chocolate has melted take it off the boiling water or else the chocolate will go funny. Easiest way is to get a double boiler!
Where do you expect to go while you're in Japan? If all the business and theme parks are closed, don't you think the arcades would be closed too? You may also get caught up in a quarantine situation for up to 2 weeks when you try to return to the United States. Be careful. You never know that while you are in Japan, the virus may spread here, causing America to completely close its borders to anyone trying to enter the country, until this whole thing blows over. Be safe.
Put water in a pot and put a smaller bowl of it and melt it that way, lower heat so it doesn’t burn the chocolate and you can always add a lil coconut oil
What if the pandemic grows as you are there and they won’t let you come back? I personally would reschedule until things are more known and you know what you are getting yourself into. No trip is worth risking your life. Prayers for you both. 💜
I agree it's not like they haven't been there before
Totally agree with u!!
Is not a pandemic anymore as of this week, is now an epidemic because of all the cases happening around the world at the same time
If they seriously still go i hope they arent allowed back. Nobody should be allowed back. ITS NOT WORTH IT.
patinpatin12 that’s very true!! God forbid someone gets so sick and dies... imagine trying to bring a loved in back from overseas!! It’s just not worth the risk! Arcades will he closed in no time anyways.
I think you guys should postpone your trip to Japan😣 Every school is shut down in Japan right now and all of the fun places are closed as well. I don't think it's safe to go, the virus could spread even more from travelers that are traveling to Japan, South Korea and other places right now. Please stay safe and rethink your trip.....😓
Laon I totally agree with you I personally live in Japan and sadly a lot of the schools were I am are still up and running
I agree. It’s very irresponsible to go somewhere that has a high volume of Corona and being it back somewhere that doesn’t have as much. I think they should postpone. Not worth the risk imo.
So,as I am a university student studying in Hong Kong for a doctor's degree.I personally also need to be helping people in Hong Kong.According to my head doctor of the hospital I am working at.The coronavirus will spread more and more to South Korea and Japan.Japan though is quite a dangerous place to be travelling to currently.Though you are going in the future.I would recommend that you guys postpone your trip to Japan as for safety measures.Problems are that a lot of Japanese currently who go out are not wearing masks as they aren't that afraid.I would also recommend you guys to just keep your own hygiene as well as possible.On the aeroplane,I would recommend you as there shouldn't be that many people on the flight.I would recommend still wearing masks and sitting around 1 to 2m apart from other People.As for the amusement parks.I am not sure that they will open anytime soon.So you may expect not to be able to do too much stuff.I will also recommend dining somewhere where there is less people.Cooking in the apartment though would be my recommendation.Yry to avoid eating as much food that is cold or exposed to air for long periods of time.As the germs may stick on the food. Hope you guys can have a safe trip!
I hope you stay safe! :)

Just as a doctor.I would have a lot of suggestions and tips😂
Excellent information from someone who is there
You guys shouldn't go to Japan 🤦🏻♀️ better safe than sorry! You guys have a life time to go still

Will They Make it Back from Japan? Will They Get Corona Virus? Tune in Next time for another episode of Plush Time Vlogs.
Dude like seriously can people just stop travelling, this is how it spreads faster 😣 just wait
Honestly
Its seriously so disgusting and selfish at this point.
@@RoyalRoses it is literally super selfish there basically saying were gonna go have fun idc if we spread it when we come back🤦♀️
@@RoyalRoses they are just too imature and childish to respect this rule of not traveling in this period of time...i love their videos but i can honestly tell they are selfish in this regard and not mature with their decision at all.
@@crishzi They are foolhardy.
That's not chocolate, that's candy melts...its what's put on the outside of cake pops..it makes a hard ish shell coating.
Boil some water in a pan..put a glass bowl onto of the boiling water ( make sure the water isnt touching the bowl) then melt the chocolate that way.
That's the best way to melt and to keep chocolate from hardening up. :)
You should consider others , if you go you will be taking supplies that are already limited for the people that live there . Also even if you're healthy you can still pass it to young , elderly, and people with weakened immune systems. It's not worth going there to play arcade games. I hope you reconsider .
Angel and Cris- I love watching your content, I've been looking forward to your Japan trip- but I have to say it's not worth it right now.

My suggestion? Japan and all the claw machines/coin pushers will still be there next year, and as much as I and the rest of your viewers would love to see you run wild winning toys/anime figures/large piles of chocolate, it's just not worth the risk right now. Give science a year to deal with the virus, and then save your money and go for longer/do more things next year, once this is all done and dealt with.

I know I've tried Tesco sainsbury's Asda and everywhere else and all have sold of hand sanitizer.
@@coolcatali1294 I know I work in retail and we are sold out as well

Yeah Cornwall has run out of loads!
Kim B Its sold out in so many places here in the U.S too... Purcell is rarer than diamonds now
I know you guys really wanna go, but I wouldn’t. Japan will always be around, but this is becoming a serious issue
I know you're not worried about getting it since you're young enough to fight it well, but what if you brought it back and exposed your family to it. That is the biggest thing I'm worried about. I have three kids in school that get exposed to things all the time and we'd be fine just like getting the flu, but if my mom who is high risk got it then it could be really bad for her. Just hopefully you're thinking bigger than just your own fun you want to have over there since this is a really serious virus for anybody over 50. You could always reschedule for after a vaccine is released and things settle down.

I hope they would have more consideration above their own needs; to think about others, for instance, like you mentioned your mother...
I know you're adults that can make your own decisions, just be careful and really think it through before you go.

Coming from a long time fan, I'm sure you guys are trying to make the most responsible decision. Be careful and thoughtful, guys!
K.A.M said everyone should postpone their trips to Japan. Be safe guys.
Hi guys! Please be safe heading to Japan! Just a quick note on the chocolate, first try getting white chocolate chips instead of melting chips. You will find them on the baking aisle. Next make sure you use a microwave safe bowl, preferably a glass bowl, but a ceramic bowl will work as well. Next make sure you wash you strawberries, then let them dry throughly! The reason the chocolate seized up with the milk was because liquid and chocolate do not like each other! Also make sure your strawberries are at room temperature, again cold strawberries will seize the chocolate. To melt the chocolate add the chips to the bowl and microwave in 30 sec intervals, stirring in between. The chips will look like they aren’t going to melt but just make sure you keep stirring them. Dip the strawberries and my tip is use the strawberry leaves to use as a handle to dip. I hope this helps! Chocolate covered strawberries are my moms favorite and I make them all the time for her. In fact I have already made them 3 times this month for my family. Good luck! And sorry for the long comment. Ashley💕
I thought they cancelled flight in Japan in closed in other part of the country for flights
i'm just laughing that the UK was upside down i'm from England.
30 second intervals in the microwave. Take out and stir in between until smooth. Works every time!
You should use the bubble boil way. Just take a small sauce panda and add water to about hafth way. Then take a glass boil and put it over the land of water with the chocolate in the bowl. Turn it on a medium heat and keep storing the chocolate. You can add coconut oil or some butter to make the chocolate kor smooth. This way is one of the best ways to melt chocolate because its Easter on the chocolate.
Candy melts never melt right in the microwave I always do the double boil method get a pot boil water and then put a bowl on top and pour the candy melts and stir till melted always works for me
I would melt the chocolate on the stove and keep it on a low heat while you eat it so it doesn’t get dry. It will definitely work to dip the strawberries into. Let me know if this works for you guys!
Crystal's shirt is gorgeous, btw.
When you melt the white chocolate add a tablespoon of whipping cream. Then melt all together.
So you have to add warm Milk to the chocolate if your wanting to make a dip. Cold milk will cause the chocolate to seize up. And it won’t take much milk to thin out the chocolate. I melt mine in the microwave stirring every 15 seconds until smooth!
Wear mask all the time and wash your hand too. Stay safe angel and crystal coroanvirus is everywhere
Masks actually don’t prevent the transmission.
sofian akram masks don’t prevent the bacteria/virus from entering it only helps if you’re sick and it keeps the bacteria in
Florida has coroanvirus it is spreading all over in USA now to everyone in USA is being safe about it. It's was on the news yesterday about it
I know you guys really want to go but you need to think about everyone else. You both could get it and not even have symptoms but bring it back to the USA and spread it to others who WILL die from it. Im personally infuriated that they are still letting people travel. Your fun is not worth the lives of others. Nobody's fun/business/vacation is. If you do go, please just stay there. Its not worth risking more people getting infected or dying from it here. If you choose that your trip is more important then that, and you get quarantined, separated, stuck there, ect. Just know it was your choice, and your decision and would be preferred by anyone who can die from this. Just don't go. Its seriously selfish to go at this point. Im a member and have supported you for years so dont anybody say im just a hater. These are the facts.
I have watched them for years as well and enjoyed their videos... What you said is dead on accurate and you are not hating, your stating the facts.. What I wonder, and I might be wrong... Here is goes... I think maybe they're milking this will we or won't we just to garner more attention... I think they already know their decision... I hope I am wrong because if I am right I will not watch them anymore...
Gurl we didn’t need a autobiography
@@Dee-ms5rc well i dont write comments for you, i write them to Express my opinion because thats literally the point 🤷♀️ why you so bothered?
@@TheSteel2011 omg thats a crazy theory and honestly would be so disappointing. I really dont think they would but i would be heartbroken if that were true. They really really need to not go and put it out to the world so we can all chill lol. After watching them for so long its so hard not to be worried.
I agree, but the reason for my suspicion is how Angel puts the header in bold letters advertising it on this video. I would think you would just say something in normal comments during the video, yet they are also clever Marketers so that is what they do...
I have taken baking classes and know quite a bit, and for candy melts like that if you want it to be thinner there is a special oil flakes called ez thin to put in the chocolate. Read the instructions! Hopefully you see this!!
White chocolate melt 30sec stir heat another 30sec stir again then heat again 15sec but if your chocolate is too thick you can add a very little vegetable oil or a little coconut oil can do the same with milk and dark chocolate but the best way to melt chocolate is in a double boiler (pot with water and bowl over it) comes out smoother
1 cup chips to 1 tea spoon butter melt in 15 second intervals
You add vegetable oil to choc to make it thinner. That’s what we do for the choc fountains.
To get smooth creamy chocolate put the chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds mix it and repeat. I will melt the chocolate to where there is still some chuncks of chocolate and mix until smooth and melted. If you put chocolate in the microwave to long it will get messed up or get any liquid in it you dont have to have it fully melted you can just mix it until smooth. Chocolate does not need to be heated long because chocolate will melt in you hand/pocket so it does not have to be extremely hot.
You two with your pooping bag of chocolate 😃 remind me of friends I had when living in Chicago. Great people, loads of fun, and never afraid of trying something new. 😏 These are the best years of your lives, and it's fantastic that you have so many videos that record the fun you're having. Never lose your childish (not a bad thing) delight in life, and it will keep you forever young. 💕
PLEASE reconsider. The situation is getting worse by the day. If one of you get any symptoms while you're there, you'll be separated and possibly stuck there. Japan has been around for thousands of years, it's not going anywhere!
Hey guys. I’m actually a pastry chef. Milk or water will actually seize the chocolate. You will need to add a little bit vegetable shortening to the chocolate to help it melt easier. And only melt the chocolate 30 seconds increments. Hope that helps!
I love your guys channel btw!!! 😊 jonbakeschicago on IG
Ok for melted chocolate, this is the best way to do it ...... I use this method all the time as I make loads of cakes and things that need melted chocolate.
Put some water in a pan, bring to a simmer...where the water is starting to bubble but not boiling.
Next put chocolate pieces into a bowl, which you are going to place into the pan.
The water should reach the bottom of the bowl only, ( Crystal do not let the water to into the bowl lol)
Once the chocolate has started to melt sir it until it's all melted.
Good luck x
I love you guys so much and your videos make my day. I really don’t want to lose some of my favorite people. Your lives are more important. I love you guys and I support your decision, but I’m worried about you both. Please postpone your trip because I love you guys and I don’t want you getting sick.
I’m currently in Japan right now. If you guys are really still on planning to go, I think you should be ready about things selling out fast, and making sure you have enough stocks of everything. Even though the government’s been trying to tell people not to hoard toilet papers, and debunking the rumors, people are still hoarding them like crazy. Some stores are also running out of instant food, like instant noodles, canned food, etc. People might start hoarding feminine products, water, etc. So Crys should bring enough feminine products for herself just in case. I don’t know if you can do much, since lots of places are closing down, and all events/concerts until April have been cancelled. It’s really not recommended here to go out too much. But the important thing is to always be aware of your surroundings. Always wash your hands, don’t go into places that are crowded, and make it a habit to always watch the news! Hopefully, the situation gets better when you guys get here, so you can fully enjoy your trip.
You took your container of chocolate out of the microwave and stirred it which is exactly what you are supposed to do. When you melt any kind of chocolate (pieces of a chocolate bar, chocolate chips, chocolate wafers, etc....), you put it in for 30 seconds at a time. After the first 30 seconds, you take the bowl out of the microwave and stir the chocolate. If it is not 100% melted, you put the bowl back in the microwave for another 30 seconds and take it out/stir the chocolate again. This process gets repeated until the chocolate is melted.
Just melt the chocolate for 1min or 2min first. Then do it in 15 to 20 seconds intervals, always stirring. Keep doing it in intervals until you get the consistency you want. If you do this it doesn’t burn.
For the chocolate to be “runny” do a double boiler so water in a pot and then a bowl on top then pour some chocolate in and stir it then add a little bit of OIL then keep stirring until runny and then but the in the refrigerator for about 20min
Here’s a tip for you so the stickers stay on spray them with hair spray or use a clear nail polish 😀❤️ also plz stay safe if you do travel to Japan also melt choc in glass bowl xx
You heat chocolate in micro in 20-30 second intervals so no, removing it over and over does not hurt it. You want to do it that way and you need to stir it a lot, a lot!! as it starts to melt. You shouldn't need to do more than 3 times tho...check each time and stir!! If it's melting and there is still chunks of chocolate...keep stirring! It will melt. Don't over heat it or it will solidify again and become hard and dry! You want to add milk or cream if you are heating on the stove in a double boiler. It will likely stay runny so if you want the chocolate to harden on your fruit, don't add milk.
The toilet paper has run out in Cornwall, UK too! It's ridiculous. Those masks are not going to protect you from anything, even a common cold as the breathing holes in them are too big. Seems like a rather big risk travelling to Japan. My friend has decided not to go right now because of everything that's going on. It's not worth it.
I’ve been wondering if you were still going to go to Japan. Be careful if you choose to go still. I have a lot of friends saying masks, tp, bread hand sanitizer is sold out. I really hope you decide not to go.
I’m going to make this comment section a little bit less scary (I know this is a serious matter) but y’all are honestly couple goals. Y’alls relationship is so cute and I can’t wait to be this silly and fun with my husband in the future. Love y’all ❤️❤️
Use modge podge over the top of the stickers it will help seal them down.
It truly is kinda irresponsible traveling to japan rn... what's the rush? wait until things simmer down. There are PLENTY of other safer places to enjoy.
Put your melts in a fondue warmer. Works wonders
Chocolate is oil based and milk is water based. Adding water/milk causes the chocolate to sieze.
I don’t think you guys should go for what’s going around the world right now people getting sick please don’t go When you play those games be careful don’t get sick
Candy melts aren't used for coating strawberries. You need actual chocolate melting buttons used for cooking then you put it in the fridge to set.
The coronavirus panic is insane! I'm lucky I'm in an area in Aus that the panic hasn't hit as even Melbourne is still 2 hours drive away. Sydney is having the intense panic.
I think what would work instead of getting modeling-like-chocolate that will turn hard in a few minutes,is just plain old white chocolate! So that would be a lot more easier to make white chocolate dipped strawberries!
When I make dipped strawberries I warm heavy cream up for about 45 seconds, then put in chocolate chips and let it sit about 2 or 3 minutes with a plate over the bowl. After that just stir and stir and store till it’s mixed.
you can add a little bit of coconut oil to loosen it up a bit, one teaspoon at a time at most three per bag ...do not add any water or water based things ie milk, juice etc. it will cause it to seize up get chunky..ALSO DO NOT EVER MICROWAVE THE BAG, use a container...... I use pyrex measuring cup... .. can also add corn oil as well. ..... I make chocolate all the time used to have a small business making them... Have fun and enjoy.
You need to melt it in a double boiler or a candy melter appliance. Then it gets super liquidy and you can just dip them with toothpicks or a fork. You need to use more chocolate though so it'll be deep enough to submerge the berries
I melt chocolate on the stove top in a double boiler
Everyone's commenting about the coronavirus and you're more concerned about the chocolate 😂 no hate, I just found it funny
@@realkushman lol omg I didnt even realize that when I posted this
I think you guys already know but big arcade companies are closed till March 14th. I also have a plan to move to US in May so I wish your plan will be fine too!
Hysterical watching you apply stickers try melt chocolate 🍫. Love Crystals nails! We need a manicure 💅🏼 video lol
You should try to put the chocolate in the pot melt the chocolate in the pot and dip the strawberry in the pot works so Amazing. I did that before works amazing melt chocolate on the stove. You supposed to put the chocolate strawberry in the freezer and wait until 35 minutes to eat it.
white chocolate never melts as creamy and milk, if you add liquid like milk it breaks, that was the cottage cheese lookling , if you want is smother add one or two drops of oil
Candy melts have to be melted slowly and you can use some coconut oil or shortening to thin out the chocolate
You should put the chocolate in a glass bowl in pieces and put on top of a boiling pan of water and stir till the chocolate melts.
🤗😍💖💙📸👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You should have bought white chocolate chips not candy melts. Then put them in a dry bowl and melt in 30 sec intervals in the microwave until it’s melted. You can also add a small drizzle of oil into the chocolate to make it smooth so you can dip the strawberries into it.
Try putting a tablespoon of coconut oil in the chocolate. It will thin it just enough to make the berries easy to dip. Yum!
I put half cup of white choc buds Cadbury , melt on 25 sec take out and mix each time .stick a screen in the strawberry and dip it then stand them on foam to set yummm 😋
Have had to make 66 cake pops within the last week .
It annoys me a bit that you guys aren't responding to the very very valid points that people are making. Not only is it dangerous for you, but quite selfish and dangerous for others. You guys have your entire lives to go to Japan for as long as you want, you really really should just wait a few months, this is such a bad idea.
I am glad you aren't getting caught up in the overreaction to the COVID-19 outbreak. Yes, precautions should be taken, which looks like you have the right idea, but to act like you are going to die like some people are acting like its utterly ridiculous. Imagine if people reacted to the common cold or the common flu the same way.
Actually if u actually research this is deadly and it kills people...mocking people isn't really helping
You should add coconut oil to the chocolate melts I usually add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil for each cup of chocolate I have and it thins out the chocolate.❤️
I almost asked about a week ago if you were still going to Japan but I figured other people would ask and you'd answer eventually so I didn't ;) also it's easier to melt chocolate on the stove stir until melted once it is hot enough. The microwave always heats un even... I use to do detail chocolate candy molding . The stove will melt it faster. That's why people shouldn't heat baby bottles in the microwave. Because microwaves heat un even, and parts of the item maybe piping hot while other parts may still be cold .
If you boil some water put it into a sauce pan then put a bowl with chocolate inside on top of the pan you will get perfect melted chocolate 👌
Make sure its a big bowl (glass is best) that sits on top of sauce pan, sort of like a steamer, you dont need much boiling water in pan about a quarter full. 😘
You guys are so cute! Just have to start off saying that :) I could never get tired of Strawberries. They are so good!. You guys stay safe in Japan if Your plans don't change.
Bowl water then put a bowl of chocolate over it and it’ll melt better. Coconut oil will help it melt to !! ☺️
The candy melts brand sells a warmer that works great for melting them and dipping!
Use a double boiler to melt chocolate where u put water in a saucepan where it doesn’t touch the bowl then u put a bowl with your chocolate in the bowl on top then let the chocolate melt
To cook that kind of choc you put it in wave for 30 second at a time over n over till it completely melts a small amount should go about 4 to 5 times n then let them sit in fridge to harden
If you add a teaspoon to a tablespoon (depending on the amount of chocolate you have ) it makes it the consistency you want and still tastes the same
Best way to melt chocolate is in a glass bowl over a saucepan of boiling water but don't let the bottom of the bowl touch the water or the chocolate can burn
*I Use A Double Boiler...When Melting Chocolate. I Go To My Candy Store...And Get What's Called Melt Aways. They're Little Discs Of Chocolate. I Leave The Stems On The Strawberries And I Dip Up To The Stem. Put Them On Wax Paper...I Cool Them Then Dip, Again. Try Making Double Dipped Chocolate Covered Oreos.*
Chocolate in the microwave is tricky as you can't tell. But u start with 20 to 30 seconds. Stir then 5 to 10 second after that but the chocolate will melt it's self after it's started . You will still see chunks but just keep stirring it WILL melt. U can even microwave it again once it starts getting thick but ONLY 5 secs at a time. Your problem is your over doing it. It has to be chunky and just stir stir stir then it will be smooth. And chunky I mean like not melted yet not seized up lol. Try my method next time please
It seems like you guys aren’t taking it serious, the responsible thing to do is postpone for another time, really isn’t worth risking. Y’all are crazy lol
Melt the chocolate for one minute, take out and stir. If still chunky put back in microwave for 30 seconds, ale out and stir till smooth. Dip strawberries into the chocolate.
Guys even kawaii arcade masters put up a video stating people should postpone their travel plans to japan as it’s not safe! Please think about it logically, places will be closed off for a while and you’ll be stuck there and not be able to do much which would suck. Plus it’s not worth the risk of catching it and passing it on. No one wants to see you guys get sick, you can tell with all the comments. Love you guys please stay safe.
I have my own at home pastry business in Vegas! You aren’t supposed to add water or liquid into chocolate! If you want to smooth it out use coconut oil and melt it in 30 second fragments!
leaving it in the microwave for longer can cause the chocolate to over heat and burn, that’s another reason for it being thick! Working with chocolate is very difficult and takes time to master!!
Hi guys just found this and my view is that if u r to go then u will go with god speed.because in my eyes God is in control be wise and smart go with god speed and if not u have a life time I will keep u in my prayers until u return.much love from cali🐒🐷🌹🌹😊😊
Wait to go when you will enjoy the trip and will not worry about the sickness
If you put a little bit of cooking oil and melt it a little longer it’ll make it to where you can dip it
Put the bowl with chocolate inside a bowl of boiling water kinda like a double boiler. Or boil water in pan and put bowl on boiling water with chocolate in it shouldn't burn or scorch
We use melted chocolate in our preschool class a lot for gifts and the white chocolate never melts as well as the milk chocolate.
You can't add cold milk to melted chocolate, you have to warm the milk up first otherwise it will look like cottage cheese.
I just worry that u guys could be quarantined for 2 weeks before you are even allowed to step foot in Japan. You will be wanting to have fun instead of worrying about every cough or things you touch. Please reconsider for now. I heard that the Sakura season stuff possibly wont be going on because they are urging people not to have parties in the park and there is nothing to really do there until later this month when things reopen, if they even reopen soon. Yes of course the trees are still blooming, but is it really worth it to get sick just to see them. Also how crowded will the amusement parks be when they do reopen. I bet over crowded. I have even started thinking that I shouldnt go to a rock concert here in California, that I really want to go to, because of this virus and the band has recently done shows in Europe. I understand it is very hard to postpone or cancel plans, but your health is most important.
u put the pot of hot water on the stove. with a big metal bowl on top and u put the choc chips in the metal bowl with the burner on and it will melt the chocolate and u can dip the strawberries in the chocolate
People need to stop traveling, especially if its just for fun and vacation. It can wait.
Melt the chocolate in a bowl over boiling water. Don't let the boiled water touch the bowl, wait for the chocolate to start melting and start to stir. Not to much. Once the chocolate has melted take it off the boiling water or else the chocolate will go funny. Easiest way is to get a double boiler!
Where do you expect to go while you're in Japan? If all the business and theme parks are closed, don't you think the arcades would be closed too? You may also get caught up in a quarantine situation for up to 2 weeks when you try to return to the United States. Be careful. You never know that while you are in Japan, the virus may spread here, causing America to completely close its borders to anyone trying to enter the country, until this whole thing blows over. Be safe.
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler
Put water in a pot and put a smaller bowl of it and melt it that way, lower heat so it doesn’t burn the chocolate and you can always add a lil coconut oil
there was a woman who took a trip to another country and came back in NY. Found out she had the cornavirus. :(
Oh i hope you guys will be safe. When you get there and have a blast. Can not wait to see the vids 💜💜💜💜
A big supermarket chain in Australia is limiting the amount of toilet paper you can get because they cant restock shelves fast enough
Yup Woolworths. Not sure if Coles or Aldi will be doing so next.
To melt thst chocolate in the microwave you hest it for 30 secinds stir snd put it back and repeat it until its melted and smooth
