HELLO FRIENDS!! today we made the ultimate FRANKEN CANDY BAR by melting together every halloween candy we could find!! 🍫✨ yes we are well aware that this thing is borderline radioactive, but don't worry, it's just for me (and some friends) - although we do have some subscriber giveaways coming up soon!! let me know - would you guys actually want to try this?? and if so, who hurt you? xoxo, saf
@@charlottebeads That's actually a tried and true historical method to make perfumes (among other things) that a lot of women all through history did actively. It's called Rose Water, and it has been used throughout history for various things, including: perfume, washing one's hands, flavouring dishes, moisturiser (especially in winter) and ceremonially in religious situations like weddings, baptisms, masses, etc.
Or go to World Market. They have a dozen different kit kat flavors. My daughter really likes the Wheat, like to the point she started learning Japanese to read the bag...
Fun fact: the mystery flavor dum dums are made when they're changing a flavor drum over to a new flavor. Instead of cleaning the remnants of the old flavor out, they just add the new one in and let the old flavor fade out, so they're always a mix of two flavors in a random ratio.
@@Y2KFrench Huh, do those candies actually contain cherries? I'd just assume it's all artificial flavor, but now I'm curious if that could also cause a cherry allergy reaction 😂
Fun fact for everyone: The white mystery airhead is actually a mix of any leftover product from any of the other flavours so that none goes to waste. That means it's already a franken candy put into a franken candy.
I love that you took an idea that could’ve ended up in just pulling a molten ball of inedible candy out of a microwave and put real genuine effort into it. The ingenuity in the methodology was brilliant, and the whole video was just plain fun!
"Safiya went into 4 grocery stores, she bought every soap the store had, store one carried 20 kinds, store two 35, store three 40, store four 18, store one and two had 10 of their soaps of the same kind, stores three and four 8, stores two and three 4 of their soaps, sotres one and four didnt have any of the same soaps. How many different soaps did Safiya buy?" :D:D:D
A tip for anyone melting chocolate on top of a water bath, don't put a lid on. The steam will form water droplets and water will make the melting chocolate grainy and stiff.

@@goodamy1 it helps but eating lots of sugar is still very bad for your teeth overtime, so is eating acidic foods. The best option is to have them in moderation and brush and floss regularly
It’s weird cuz my initial reaction to your comment was “oh yeah… there’s way too many options. To the point it can be hard to choose” but then as I thought more I realized I’ve been talking about how the shelves are becoming less and less stocked and how weird/kinda scary it is.

@@BeccaHetrick Yeah but chemicals and what not, different peanuts, different sugar contents etc. Though they may use the same stuff like High fructose corn syrup, there are different amounts etc.
i love learning safiya lore of her being heimliched by her uncle. also the irony of choking to death on a lifesaver is quite LITERALLY a pop punk song title

i consider the candy corn and pumpkins to taste like vanilla frosting with a very light vanilla flavor. a lot of people hate me for it, but I really like candy corn
I do like how it's a very Wanka concept. "the ONE halloween candy for any child that can't trick or treat this year. Get all the flavors and textures in ONE bar!" This might be the BEST franken products you've made YET.
Never thought I ever needed to see this concoction come to life. But, after seeing this method of madness, I am very impressed. Cheers to the kid inside everyone!
Safiya, your narration skills are unmatched. You should be the voice for an audiobook or narrator in a movie. In the least creepy way possible, your voice is the best to listen to!
You really went ham on the candy aisle! A tip for the double boiler with chocolate: DON'T put the lid on because you don't want any condensation getting into the chocolate. Water will make the chocolate grainier, so you have to keep the temperature low enough to not have so much steam getting in there either and just wait for it to slowly melt. Low temps also help it not get overcooked. I do chocolate dipping every year and it helps the chocolate be smoother for that too. I really want to try the chocolate combo!
I saw them put the lid on and was like huh??????? I mean I had no idea *why* you aren’t meant to put the lid on just that never in my life have I seen anyone put the lid on a double boiler of chocolate 😅
As someone from the uk watching this, the sheer variety of sweets and decor is insane, we get like a packet of rebranded haribos and a few shitty plastic pumpkins, thats it. I'm so jealous
Frrrr although my mum works for b&m so I get lots of random American sweets and she’ll always buy loads of deccies so our pretty much passes for an Americans haha
Okay yessssss but you guys have an insane amount of tea biscuits that are perfectly designed for dunking. The grass is always greener on the other side of the pond lol
Safiya, I came in here to basically say thank you. Thank you for making me laugh during some of the hardest times of my life. Thank you for being a distraction when life gets shitty. Thank you for always being so funny and so fun to watch when school becomes too much to handle. You’ve always been my favorite TH-camr and someone I can always rely on to make me laugh. Thank you.
It’s so much fun, in my old neighborhood (I’m from the south) every house decorated, children, teens and parents up n down the streets in their weird bloody costumes. An occasional haunted house and giant blow ups of “scary” icons like Jack from the nightmare before Christmas. Adults in their finest spooky gear getting blasted lit on their front lawns welcoming passer-byers some food they had out. Always a blast to walk around dressed up even if you weren’t trick or treating, even more so when you know the ppl in the neighborhood. Odds are you’d stumble across someone you know who knew where a party was or invite you to theirs where they more likely than not served Halloween themed food items and drinks.
I’ve been studying abroad in Europe and I struggled for 10 minutes today to find any form of Reese’s in Tesco 😭 (also yes I realize this is a very first world issue lol)
as an australian i can completely agree, everythings so massive there! the mix bags here are like the size of your palm, if not a bit larger meanwhile in america its like 2x that!
tbh US stores don’t look much different from that year-round. i mean it’s a section of an aisle instead of a whole shelf but it’s still a decent amount. not including the stuff at registers
I had a science teacher with a slightly chaotic but chipper personality and he's a lot like saf, he's my favorite teacher even after going through college
They do that in Canada, too 😂 It's honestly a lot of the same year-round candy bars, just mini, recolored, and rebranded as ~halloween~ for the season.
Candy fun facts: Candy Corn, also called Chicken Feed, has the flavors of honey, sugar, butter, and vanilla, and while people often hate it, its the top selling candy in the US with M&M's being a close second. Circus Peanuts taste like banana. Frank Mars, inventor of the Snickers, named the bar after his favorite horse named Snickers. The inventor of the Lollipop, George Smith, also named it after a favorite racehorse. Artificial banana flavor is supposedly based on an extinct banana, the Gros Michel banana, instead of the modern Cavendish, though most chemists think it's just because banana candies tend to use isoamyl acetate or 'banana ester' that smells very like banana, though it and the Gros Michel do taste similarly 'fake'. If you dilute isoamyl acetate it apparently smells like pears! (its also the compound that bees release when they sting you to attract more bees!) And last fact, if you want to blow a big bubble with bubble gum, you have to chew until it has no flavor/sugar in it! Sugar doesn't stretch, so if its still sweet you won't get decent bubbles.
@quack9000 That's because the Gros Michel apparently contains a ton of isoamyl acetate compared to the Cavendish! So yeah, if you've tasted one I totally get that^^ Another fact about it is that it's the same compound that bees release when they sting you to attract other bees, lol^^
I love how saf always goes back to the people she’s worked with in the past for various videos or friends she’s made over the years. It’s like the safiya cinematic universe and I always get excited to see who she reconnects with lol
@@mrshitfacemcgeeI’m assuming it’s just growing apart and the fact that she doesn’t live in California anymore, not necessarily because something happened
The amount of people who have ironically choked on Lifesavers-- Hell, it's even the name of a song I really like. The Irony of Choking on a Lifesaver, by All Time Low.
@@Ali-mv3jc okay so turns out the thing I said 3 months ago was a myth and you're completely right about how he just wanted to make a candy shaped like life savers lol
I'd love to know what was going through the cashier's mind. Probably "wow, they must be having a crazy halloween party" or "they must be expecting a lot of visitors"
Dinner party at Safiya and Tyler’s: ”Oh, no don’t use that pan, that’s our melting lollipops-pan” ”Oh and not that pot, a demon blueberry candle haunts it” ”oh… not the baby frying pan either… lets just go out for dinner” 😂
The b-roll of each candy rotating around is just the cherry on top. Love the details! You’re enthusiasm for Halloween really shines through and I love it
I am that person. My birthday is the day after so i go and buy everything at a discount with my birthday money. I have a standing candelabra that is skulls that i bought about 20 years ago. One of the first halloween house decor that i bought
Let's all be honest. Safiya is definitely the type of person that probably starts Halloween shopping on September 1st. And we all love her for it! 👻👻👻🕷🕸🍫🍫🍫🧛♀🧛♀🧛♀
Trust me, that’s so late. July, right after the 4th is when all the bigbox and craft stores start setting their Halloween sections. You gotta be early to get the best stuff.
I love how Safiya keeps giving Matt Pat a taste of his own medicine by using him as a Guinea pig for her frakencreations the same way he makes team theorist taste test weird foods
Just here to say I appreciate the amount of time and effort that goes into this! You and your team clearly spent hours testing all before filming the many many layers, arranging candies, getting B-roll as well as the actual melt down and creation. It’s very impressive and goes above and beyond!
Candy corn is actually what's known as a "mellowcreme" candy. It was traditionally made with butter, honey, and vanilla (amongst other stuff) which gives it it's signature flavor. TLDR: Candy corn is honey/vanilla/butter flavored
@@paulafamularo5001She already said any extras would go to family and friends for trick or treating and therefore make its way out into the community. Saafiya will make money on this video to offset the cost of everything. If either of those weren't the case, it might be a waste, but Halloween is exactly when kids from families who don't have a lot can still usually get their fill of candy by just going door to door.
@@paulafamularo5001This is her job. Spending money to earn money. If she wants to donate, that's up to her. Same goes for you and me. & I don't think poor people are that concerned about candy, but rather about a decent meal.
@@paulafamularo5001 excited for your video about how you support local food banks with your money and time! I'm sure it will be very educational and inspirational c:
I've been watching MatPat for so many years now and watching you for so many years now too, I love that you guys are friends and I see you guys in each other's videos!!
I think part of your chocolate texture might be due to it seizing. It looked like some of the water from the steam of the double boiler got into it, which causes it to crystallize in a weird way. For chocolate, always try to melt without a lid on it. 😊👍👍 Looks like you all had a lot of fun, thanks for sharing!
The chocolate layer probably got that texture due to the condensation from the lid of the pot!! If moisture is introduced to chocolate while it’s heating, it’ll seize. But I think the seized chocolate actually worked out really well for the franken-candy
It appears I've watched this before but dang I forgot most of it (OK all of it) ... once again you've taken a topic that strikes as .... odd ... maybe not interesting and turned it into a hugely wonderful watch. Thank you Saf and Ty!!!!!
I know they’ve been married for a while but when Safiya called Tyler her Husband rather than her Boyfriend just kind of warmed my soul and made me smile
The BEST way of describing candy corn flavor is nostalgia personified confectionary sugar. It has no real flavor that stands out but it has a liminal flavor. It reminds you that autumn is here. Halloween is upon us!
The leftover franken candy categories would be so cool by themselves as well, like at a party you could have: Melted Hard candies = Petrified Zombie flesh, Blended Chewy candies = Werewolf Brains, and Melted chocolate candies layer = Cemetery Dirt.
As a Brit, I'm SHOCKED at how much seasonal candy you have. I don't even think we have seasonal Werther's. Our candy 'isle' in my nearby supermarket is like two shelves wide on one side of the isle.
oh yeah, our stores go all out for EVERY holiday!!! Every Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day, be prepared to see the stores have Red, White, and Blue EVERYTHING out!!!! Same for specific holidays like Halloween and Christmas. Decorations, sweets, table settings, knick-knacks, clothes.... you name it, we most likely have it! 😂
The thing I love about Safiyas content is that she not only answers the random/weird thoughts we may randomly have but wouldn’t actually spend the money or time doing but also she is very technical and precise with it. (she’s not just throwing things together and calling it a day) which makes it oh so satisfying to watch and see what happens and the process of it. Oh! And her and her husbands sense of humour and dorky puns. Lol. 😂
OMG, I must say I apprecieate the production value in this video! The way you presented the unmelted candy on the turning table, the animations to show how you were going to do the steps, everything looks so good! I love your franken videos! 😍
They even respected the latest guidelines for supporting the actors in the currently ongoing strike. Love that! Makes me extra happy to rock one of my new favorite nail polishes: Brucie
As someone who moved to the UK from the U.S. This fed my nostalgic spooky soul that I've been missing for the last few years. And yes, it's May right now.
Fun fact: my dad lived in the same city as the Jolly Rancher factory in Colorado and on Halloween, the factory would give out all the "rejected" candy that wasn't fit to sell. It either got melted into a chunk or the color was off. You could go by and get BUCKETS of it. This would have been in the 1970's so IDK if they do this anymore.
They always did stuff like that back in the day then some ppl messed it up for everyone by suing some companies that did that now they throw everything away even if they haven’t personally been sued they’ve seen it happen to others
I went to the Jelly Belly factory as a kid and you could buy like five pound bags of misshapen beans. Each bag had just a few flavors so it was a great way to get a ton of your favorite for cheap.
I need a list of all the ingredients. Not the candy going in, the ingredients for ALL the candy that went in. This is INSANE that you made this and I'm so glad you did.
Willing to bet that, in terms of number of ingredients vs. number of candies, it’s actually pretty small. Just high fructose corn syrup, sugar, some kind of emulsifiers, etc in different proportions
It’s so interesting as a European (or specific German) to watch what other countries consider „Halloween candy“. As far as I remember we mostly have haribo in Halloween edition, or classics like „eyeball candy“, worms etc😂
Also I’m pretty sure that our candies would not melt the same way at all, since they’re not the same kind than Americans have (ingredients are different!)
I am also a little confused by that. Isn't any candy Halloween candy if you buy it around Halloween? Do people in America not eat these any other time of the year? What is the logic behind that?

Water will make the chocolate grainier, so you have to keep the temperature low enough to not have so much steam getting in there either and just wait for it to slowly melt. Low temps also help it not get overcooked. I do chocolate dipping every year and it helps the chocolate be smoother for that too. I really want to try the chocolate combo!
I saw them put the lid on and was like huh??????? I mean I had no idea *why* you aren’t meant to put the lid on just that never in my life have I seen anyone put the lid on a double boiler of chocolate 😅
Thank you! I was looking for this comment. The texture was bound be weird but the chocolate definitely seized as well.
As a former chocolate shop manager their double boiler hurt my soul
As someone from the uk watching this, the sheer variety of sweets and decor is insane, we get like a packet of rebranded haribos and a few shitty plastic pumpkins, thats it. I'm so jealous
Frrrr although my mum works for b&m so I get lots of random American sweets and she’ll always buy loads of deccies so our pretty much passes for an Americans haha
Okay yessssss but you guys have an insane amount of tea biscuits that are perfectly designed for dunking. The grass is always greener on the other side of the pond lol
@@ButyoucancallmeKat yes I’ve picked up on that if I went to dunk an Oreo it would turn to smush
lucky you, my country doesn't even celebrate halloween lol
@@stardusst right? I saw one (1) halloween mug and some shitty masks, that was it.
Safiya, I came in here to basically say thank you. Thank you for making me laugh during some of the hardest times of my life. Thank you for being a distraction when life gets shitty. Thank you for always being so funny and so fun to watch when school becomes too much to handle. You’ve always been my favorite TH-camr and someone I can always rely on to make me laugh. Thank you.
I'm a simple human. I see Safiya, I click.
As you should 👏
I literally clicked on fast I didn't even read the title 😂❤
Safiya: I melted every-
Me: I'm in
I would literally watch her paint and let it dry
Same!
15:09 The experience of eating candy corn isn’t about flavor, it’s about texture, and personally I love it. It’s like the non-forbidden candle wax.
Wait no did you actually just make candy corn semi appealing 😂
so THAT'S why Saf likes it! LOL
candle wax isn't soft tho, its brittle when bitten
@@2cat4lifeI think they mean the freshly blown out wax. not the liquid but the warm bit around it making a well in the candle
@@haley2833 oh! thats pretty extra forbidden lol, that would be scalding as heck.
I love how they used the decorations they bought to show off candy throughout the video 😂
Tax write off! 😂
For future reference compound chocolate is much easier for covering things. Like the baking aisle of stores actually sells trays of it to microwave
As a European, the entry into the walmart Halloween section blew my mind. The sheer quantity of everything wowowow. I wanna see Halloween in the US.
It’s so much fun, in my old neighborhood (I’m from the south) every house decorated, children, teens and parents up n down the streets in their weird bloody costumes. An occasional haunted house and giant blow ups of “scary” icons like Jack from the nightmare before Christmas. Adults in their finest spooky gear getting blasted lit on their front lawns welcoming passer-byers some food they had out. Always a blast to walk around dressed up even if you weren’t trick or treating, even more so when you know the ppl in the neighborhood. Odds are you’d stumble across someone you know who knew where a party was or invite you to theirs where they more likely than not served Halloween themed food items and drinks.
I’ve been studying abroad in Europe and I struggled for 10 minutes today to find any form of Reese’s in Tesco 😭 (also yes I realize this is a very first world issue lol)
The sweet aisle blew my mind!
as an australian i can completely agree, everythings so massive there! the mix bags here are like the size of your palm, if not a bit larger meanwhile in america its like 2x that!
tbh US stores don’t look much different from that year-round. i mean it’s a section of an aisle instead of a whole shelf but it’s still a decent amount. not including the stuff at registers
Love seeing little appearances from Mat and Stephanie! Their disagreement over the candy was hilarious to watch lmao
Why do I feel like she’d be one of the best science teachers ever
Dear God, SHES A GOTH MS. FRIZZLE!
YAS@@Werewolfoverlord12
I had a science teacher with a slightly chaotic but chipper personality and he's a lot like saf, he's my favorite teacher even after going through college
Yas
LOL You're like Frank-Phoebe's brother on friends! Phoebe: "So, um, what do you like doing?" Frank: "Melting things. Yeah, you can melt anything."
The sheer amount of Halloween Candy in the US is stunning and shocking at the same time. I've never seen so much candy in one place
They do that in Canada, too 😂 It's honestly a lot of the same year-round candy bars, just mini, recolored, and rebranded as ~halloween~ for the season.
Most of it is normal Candy put into variety packs to give away for Halloween. They retheme the bags and wrappers for every holiday.
Yeah it's generally just normal candy but smaller and sold in mixed bulk packaging
tbf most americans are giving them away
i have never even heard of like 80% of the candies she got lol - like tf is a baby ruth??
Candy fun facts: Candy Corn, also called Chicken Feed, has the flavors of honey, sugar, butter, and vanilla, and while people often hate it, its the top selling candy in the US with M&M's being a close second. Circus Peanuts taste like banana. Frank Mars, inventor of the Snickers, named the bar after his favorite horse named Snickers. The inventor of the Lollipop, George Smith, also named it after a favorite racehorse. Artificial banana flavor is supposedly based on an extinct banana, the Gros Michel banana, instead of the modern Cavendish, though most chemists think it's just because banana candies tend to use isoamyl acetate or 'banana ester' that smells very like banana, though it and the Gros Michel do taste similarly 'fake'. If you dilute isoamyl acetate it apparently smells like pears! (its also the compound that bees release when they sting you to attract more bees!) And last fact, if you want to blow a big bubble with bubble gum, you have to chew until it has no flavor/sugar in it! Sugar doesn't stretch, so if its still sweet you won't get decent bubbles.
As someone who doesn't live in the US and has never tasted candy corn, I thank you for your explanation and for your candy history!
@quack9000 That's because the Gros Michel apparently contains a ton of isoamyl acetate compared to the Cavendish! So yeah, if you've tasted one I totally get that^^ Another fact about it is that it's the same compound that bees release when they sting you to attract other bees, lol^^
@@Melissa-sx9vh You're very welcome! I just love learning weird facts about things and this video let me share some lol XD
I loved reading these facts! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! 😊
Thank you so much Captain, I thoroughly enjoying reading These!
I love how saf always goes back to the people she’s worked with in the past for various videos or friends she’s made over the years. It’s like the safiya cinematic universe and I always get excited to see who she reconnects with lol
Except everyone from Buzzfeed bar the Try Guys...
@@jj-if6itbecause they were told to cut contact with her since she was the first few to leave buzzfeed at that time
@@yesnt8941 they've mostly all left BuzzFeed now (e.g. the ladylike girls) and aren't friends with her anymore
@@jj-if6itDo you know why they arent friends anymore ?
@@mrshitfacemcgeeI’m assuming it’s just growing apart and the fact that she doesn’t live in California anymore, not necessarily because something happened
The amount of people who have ironically choked on Lifesavers--
Hell, it's even the name of a song I really like. The Irony of Choking on a Lifesaver, by All Time Low.
fun fact; they're called life savers because if you choke on them, theres a hole so you can still breathe!
@@AceofstarssI thought it was because they were shaped like a life saver, like the thing you throw when someone's drowning 🛟
@@Ali-mv3jc okay so turns out the thing I said 3 months ago was a myth and you're completely right about how he just wanted to make a candy shaped like life savers lol
This video just proves that no retail store is safe from Safiya’s shenanigans
I'd love to know what was going through the cashier's mind. Probably "wow, they must be having a crazy halloween party" or "they must be expecting a lot of visitors"
@@lisahenry20 somehow this Franken project has the most normal justifications 😂
Dinner party at Safiya and Tyler’s:
”Oh, no don’t use that pan, that’s our melting lollipops-pan” ”Oh and not that pot, a demon blueberry candle haunts it” ”oh… not the baby frying pan either… lets just go out for dinner” 😂
The b-roll of each candy rotating around is just the cherry on top. Love the details! You’re enthusiasm for Halloween really shines through and I love it
12:15 seems like a missed opportunity to quote beauty and the beast “try the grey stuff it’s delicious”
doing this today with all my leftover candy
real
Tell saf she my favorite TH-camr
ok
TH-cam ⁉️
this is a must do.
I feel like safiya is the type of person to wait for all the halloween stuff to go on sale and use it as everyday home decor. And i live for it
I am that person. My birthday is the day after so i go and buy everything at a discount with my birthday money. I have a standing candelabra that is skulls that i bought about 20 years ago. One of the first halloween house decor that i bought
@@nikkafrogmy birthday is the day before and I do the same thing lol
I definitely am this person.
this is me. every 11/1, raid the halloween clearance!
i'm like this but with the costume items hahaha
It’s impressive that you guys were able to make that look so good.
Y’all are pro melters for sure.
Were gonna need a ‘melting all christmas candy together’ now.
I love that she was buying $30 bags instead of creating a list and then buying one of each candy. 😂
Lmao same 😂
2:39 @
I can't believe she can afford a whole basketful of candy.
@@Ghostkarshes a youtuber woth 10mil plus instagram plus merch plus sponsors and probably more. What did you expect?
They did a lot of testing to work out the process off camera before the main filming, so they needed the bulk.
You need to order all the flavours of Japanese Kit Kats you can find as a side quest to melt together and taste 😂
yes!!
That would be absolutely insane 😂❤ but I would love to watch it
ooo yes! A franken kitkat bar!!
Im honestly surprised they didnt do this when they where in Japan
somebody PLEASE mass-produce this I would buy it in a heartbeat
I second this motion
There's a gummy/popping candy/chocolate bar from Cadbury called a "marvellous creations" bar. Texturally somewhat similar???
yeah that one is so good!@@hflight8620
@@hflight8620love them! They’re also vegetarian (at least in the uk)
@@hflight8620i LOVE this it’s my fav choc but it’s not sour it’s so good thi
The mention of Jenna really made me feel something warm.
Let's all be honest. Safiya is definitely the type of person that probably starts Halloween shopping on September 1st. And we all love her for it! 👻👻👻🕷🕸🍫🍫🍫🧛♀🧛♀🧛♀
Trust me, that’s so late. July, right after the 4th is when all the bigbox and craft stores start setting their Halloween sections. You gotta be early to get the best stuff.
no, safiya halloween shops year round. she does not stop
Definitely as soon as it comes out in August, let's be real
No no ,she def shops all year long 😂😂😂
I love how Safiya keeps giving Matt Pat a taste of his own medicine by using him as a Guinea pig for her frakencreations the same way he makes team theorist taste test weird foods
Just here to say I appreciate the amount of time and effort that goes into this! You and your team clearly spent hours testing all before filming the many many layers, arranging candies, getting B-roll as well as the actual melt down and creation. It’s very impressive and goes above and beyond!
No idea how I stumbled across this channel but boy I'm impressed
Candy corn is actually what's known as a "mellowcreme" candy. It was traditionally made with butter, honey, and vanilla (amongst other stuff) which gives it it's signature flavor. TLDR: Candy corn is honey/vanilla/butter flavored
Was coming here to say it’s honey flavored!
Safiya is just making all of out childhood potion making dreams come true.
Lol
Accurate!
Lol true
Saafiya really is in a different tax bracket for buying all this candy BEFORE halloween!
Seems like a huge waste of money, especially when there are millions of Americans that can’t buy food for their families.
@@paulafamularo5001She already said any extras would go to family and friends for trick or treating and therefore make its way out into the community. Saafiya will make money on this video to offset the cost of everything. If either of those weren't the case, it might be a waste, but Halloween is exactly when kids from families who don't have a lot can still usually get their fill of candy by just going door to door.
@@paulafamularo5001This is her job. Spending money to earn money. If she wants to donate, that's up to her. Same goes for you and me. & I don't think poor people are that concerned about candy, but rather about a decent meal.
@@fluffylittleclouds1 , I wasn’t talking to you BOZO!!! Bye
@@paulafamularo5001 excited for your video about how you support local food banks with your money and time! I'm sure it will be very educational and inspirational c:
I've been watching MatPat for so many years now and watching you for so many years now too, I love that you guys are friends and I see you guys in each other's videos!!
I think part of your chocolate texture might be due to it seizing. It looked like some of the water from the steam of the double boiler got into it, which causes it to crystallize in a weird way. For chocolate, always try to melt without a lid on it. 😊👍👍 Looks like you all had a lot of fun, thanks for sharing!
I came looking for this reply!
Oh you actually right!
Oh when I saw that lid I screamed!!
Also I think the water was touching the bottom of the double boiler, which can cause the chocolate to seize as well.
It also looked hotttt
The chocolate layer probably got that texture due to the condensation from the lid of the pot!! If moisture is introduced to chocolate while it’s heating, it’ll seize. But I think the seized chocolate actually worked out really well for the franken-candy
The production value here is insane and very obviously took a lot of time and organisation. Great job Safiya and the team. You did amazing!
It appears I've watched this before but dang I forgot most of it (OK all of it) ... once again you've taken a topic that strikes as .... odd ... maybe not interesting and turned it into a hugely wonderful watch. Thank you Saf and Ty!!!!!
as someone who sorted, counted, And Rationed their halloween candy, the statistics in this video are healing my inner child. Thank you.
I know they’ve been married for a while but when Safiya called Tyler her Husband rather than her Boyfriend just kind of warmed my soul and made me smile
I’ve been married a decade and I still feel that way when I say “husband” 😌
Can't wait for the Frankiecandy: Christmas Edition.
or the valen-choco-franken!
Mixing every candy cane together.
@@amandajohnson3531this!!!!
The BEST way of describing candy corn flavor is nostalgia personified confectionary sugar. It has no real flavor that stands out but it has a liminal flavor. It reminds you that autumn is here. Halloween is upon us!
Imagine Saf and Tyler start craving this franken candy bar. They’ll have to do all that work all over again 😂.
The leftover franken candy categories would be so cool by themselves as well, like at a party you could have: Melted Hard candies = Petrified Zombie flesh, Blended Chewy candies = Werewolf Brains, and Melted chocolate candies layer = Cemetery Dirt.
Everybodys so creative 🫢
As a Brit, I'm SHOCKED at how much seasonal candy you have. I don't even think we have seasonal Werther's. Our candy 'isle' in my nearby supermarket is like two shelves wide on one side of the isle.
American culture goes HARD for Halloween! Every big store has dedicated candy aisles for all of October :)
I would CRY if there were this many flavours I’m jealous but.. glad I don’t because I would be overweight
'Murica heck yeaaa 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
@@sailorsylveon5610and that's what I find so insane😭 I'm irish, the home country of halloween and we do not go this insane for it
oh yeah, our stores go all out for EVERY holiday!!! Every Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day, be prepared to see the stores have Red, White, and Blue EVERYTHING out!!!! Same for specific holidays like Halloween and Christmas. Decorations, sweets, table settings, knick-knacks, clothes.... you name it, we most likely have it! 😂
I can never escape MatPat…how is he literally everywhere
just picturing Saf and Tyler pelting candy at trick or treaters from their apartment like "Please just take it!!!" 😂
The thing I love about Safiyas content is that she not only answers the random/weird thoughts we may randomly have but wouldn’t actually spend the money or time doing but also she is very technical and precise with it. (she’s not just throwing things together and calling it a day) which makes it oh so satisfying to watch and see what happens and the process of it. Oh! And her and her husbands sense of humour and dorky puns. Lol. 😂
If this doesn't count as modern day philanthropy, I don't know what does.🤷🏼♀️
I love that you brought your own bags so optimistically and then needed two carts 😂
😂😂😂
seeing this a year later on halloween, good timing
OMG, I must say I apprecieate the production value in this video! The way you presented the unmelted candy on the turning table, the animations to show how you were going to do the steps, everything looks so good! I love your franken videos! 😍
Yet again I’m impressed by the production level of this channel. You can tell they really care about the quality of their content
They even respected the latest guidelines for supporting the actors in the currently ongoing strike. Love that! Makes me extra happy to rock one of my new favorite nail polishes: Brucie
I'm crying laughing at how divided Mat and Steph were at the end 😂❤
As someone who moved to the UK from the U.S. This fed my nostalgic spooky soul that I've been missing for the last few years. And yes, it's May right now.
I live for how sassy MatPat is 😭😭😭
sassy man apocalypse 2023!!
Fun fact: my dad lived in the same city as the Jolly Rancher factory in Colorado and on Halloween, the factory would give out all the "rejected" candy that wasn't fit to sell. It either got melted into a chunk or the color was off. You could go by and get BUCKETS of it. This would have been in the 1970's so IDK if they do this anymore.
They always did stuff like that back in the day then some ppl messed it up for everyone by suing some companies that did that now they throw everything away even if they haven’t personally been sued they’ve seen it happen to others
I went to the Jelly Belly factory as a kid and you could buy like five pound bags of misshapen beans. Each bag had just a few flavors so it was a great way to get a ton of your favorite for cheap.
I need a list of all the ingredients. Not the candy going in, the ingredients for ALL the candy that went in. This is INSANE that you made this and I'm so glad you did.
I bet a ton of it would be random chemicals and preservatives and artificial coloring
Willing to bet that, in terms of number of ingredients vs. number of candies, it’s actually pretty small. Just high fructose corn syrup, sugar, some kind of emulsifiers, etc in different proportions
''chewy'" is my favorite category and i did not wake up today to be ATTACKED like that
The organization and research on these videos is so satisying. The spinning candy displays are *chefs kiss*
On the topic of candy, now I want to see a Franken Lindt truffle-I feel like that would taste amazing
Yes! Do it Safiya, please! 😁
A franken truffle. A fruffle.
It’s so interesting as a European (or specific German) to watch what other countries consider „Halloween candy“. As far as I remember we mostly have haribo in Halloween edition, or classics like „eyeball candy“, worms etc😂
Also I’m pretty sure that our candies would not melt the same way at all, since they’re not the same kind than Americans have (ingredients are different!)
Germans do love a chewy candy. Especially considering marzipan is basically a national delicacy lol
Ok aber Snicker, Kitkat, Twix und so sind schon Klassiker.
I am also a little confused by that. Isn't any candy Halloween candy if you buy it around Halloween? Do people in America not eat these any other time of the year? What is the logic behind that?
@@thepandaonei think it’s all the usual candies in halloween packages plus some limited editions of some flavours just for halloween
I really love Safiya, been watching her vlogs since 2019 or 2020. I just like her humor and of course I love her and Tyler. I just love them 😩🤍
