Widely known fact to those of us who bake: Chocolate Seizes when introduced to water! NO baker or candy maker would EVER use a water-based food coloring on white chocolate! They literally set you up for failure. Also, am I early enough for #NerdEficationsquad? I LOVE these videos!
You're only meant to use gel or powdered food colouring on chocolate. Brandable clearly doesn't care about the qualities of their kits here if they can't even be bothered to make sure the kit works. #nerdeficationsquad
That and it also would react that way if the chocolate was really old. Since it already melted when she opened it, it could also mean that it got to much warmth one way or another
Yea, holy crap, I saw her pour that in and cried a little. It's not her fault, obviously, kids aren't gonna know what it is either. You would think they wouldn't be chocolate though, since they say candy melt, and I didn't think candy melts had that problem so much. They have stabilizers and stuff.
They really gave you the wrong food coloring for candy. Water based food coloring makes chocolate freeze up because water and chocolate don't like each other. They should of done a oil base to mix with the candy melts. These guys seem like drop outs from school seeing as they don't even know how to do their homework. It's one of the most basic things to know when making candy, especially chocolate. It's why we don't just put chocolate in hot water to melt it, its why we do a double boiler to melt chocolate and are careful no water gets in it. This is so so so painful to watch.
Just about to comment this. As soon as she pulled out the food coloring I was like “oh no, that’s not gonna work is it”. It’s honestly atrocious, can we give kids quality crafts that aren’t literally doomed from the start, please?
I didn't see this before I commented, ahahaaha. The only place she could've used water based coloring is dying her marshmallows before making the treats.
Yeah.. I knew that the chocolate would seize with the dye because most people don't realize that they should use gel dye or powder dye to color chocolate.. that should've been included in the booklet for sure. I mean.. a lot of things needed to be added into that booklet, but still.. lol
Yup I make chocolate lollipops and apparently whom ever wrote the instructions did not know this or did not care. I would think that they would have tested it before writing the instructions and putting this so called kit together.
You didn't do it right Jackie! After putting the green dye in the candy melts and putting it in the microwave, a miniature Frankenstein creature made from the icing is supposed to rise up from the bowl.
I don’t know if you’re going to read this or not but with a dye that they use for the chocolate is liquid dye chocolate which destroys the chocolate chocolate dye is very expensive and a specialty item you can’t make any kind of food coloring with chocolate the dye Has to be a specific dye it looks like syrup Thick syrup so essentially the chocolate was pretty much destroyed With the dye
They need to use OIL BASED color and not water based color. water plus chocolate equals seized chocolate. You could add veg oil to bring it back but still no the average person knows that.
Powder dye would also have worked, even though, it's not that vibrant. I literally slapped my face, when I saw the liquid touching the chocolate and waited for the rage. How stupid can one company be? Or is it just brazenly? Ò___Ó
Oh sorry I think you typed that wrong instead of saying no average person knows that I think you meant to say no average person in culinary school knows that
@@ricky_x it is when smooth melted chocolate gets water in it then it turns chunky and kinda looks like dirt, you can always Google it or TH-cam to see what it looks like.
MESSAGE TO JACKIE! Do you remember when Moriah did the rock art video and it as well was lacking in supplies, again specifically the main thing in the kit...THE ACTUAL FRICKIN ROCKS!
That was 100% my assumption. It was either that, or the wrong type of 'candy melt' for what they were wanting. Also the older the chocolate the harder it is to work with. I make Fudge for my whole family around this time of year, and one year I made the mistake of using chocolate i had left over from the previous year, and nothing I did worked, and I use the double boiler method. So not only do I not use the waffer candy melts like what was supplied, but i buy fresh chocolate. Either Chippets or Baker's. Better melting, consistency and flavour.
The food coloring is water based and you cant mix water with chocolate. They should have givin you gel food coloring because that would work because it is not water based.
Wow! I didn't know this! What's interesting is that I made child's play themed Rice Krispy treats over Halloween, and thought it was rough that I couldn't get regular food coloring. Guess it was good I could only get gel!
RandomlyBeautiful13 it not food coloring its icing because when jakie was like reviewing the you know the ingredients and the food coloring container is trannslusent
Just noticed that the book says on the cover corner that it doesn't include the marshmallows or rice crispies are not included...so this thing is more a decorative kit (not a good one) rather than DIY kit.
I havent watched it. I have no idea what this kit is for. But the words "Crispy Art Kit" activated my fight or flight response. And i told someone I would make their teeth flaccid today.
@@Bloodlustvengencetib boi I think they know what flaccid means, they were just saying that they couldn't imagine what flaccid teeth would look like in real life cx
How do you frick up rice crispies? I mean the effort put into this kit was not existant. How sad. Bright side your featured Patreon has almost 5k more subscribers now ^^
To fix the chocolate melt when it does that, add oil. It will help smooth it out. But those chocolate melts looked bad from the beginning before you even added the color.
Jackie, can you do a review on Crayola DohVinchi because 7 times (I counted) this video was interrupted with an add for this product. I WANT REVENGE!!!
First things first, candy melts are not real chocolate. Any form of liquid (even water) that gets mixed in with candy melts, will end up garbage. Microwaving after a liquid has been introduced just makes it worse. If you would have continued to microwave it, you would have ended up with a rock. Learned that from Girl Guides. They should have given a paste or oil based dye.
@@Whitney_Sews Well of course it has, my point was rather that this craftkit is trying to make people pay for things that already exist and are availible for free (there's a video with a better version of the frankenface for free on youtube, with better instructions!) , which Jackie also pointed out in her con-list.
𝕎𝕠𝕝𝕗𝕚𝕖_𝕕𝕒_ 𝔽𝕝𝕠𝕠𝕗_𝔾𝕒𝕔𝕙𝕒 actually I meant the Jackie only paid $20 for the kit. But I didn't know 20$ and 20£ were the same value. Thanks for letting me know 💜
I have never commented before, but I do love to bake... and I cannot imagine spending $20 to decorate RICE CRISPY treats... one of the cheapest "desserts" to make! And especially not $20 for just the decorations when you still have to buy everything to make the actual treats!
your chocolate seized probably because they were using a water-based colorant. water and chocolate they don't mix. I love you channel! I don't comment much but I love watching you videos over and over while I craft thanks for making me laugh.
melted chocolate can not hold water i am a bakker. this is a fact do not use liquid colouring in chocolate it destroys it. if you want to colour it use powder colour xx llove your vids Thanks for the heart xxx
If they intended you to use the colorant in candy melts, they should have included oil-based coloring. It was 100% the kit including the wrong supplies.
Agreed. Water based food coloring and chocolate melts do not mix at all, the chocolate will seize up every single time. You need either oil based ones or the powdered food colors. >.> This kit is a huge disappointment and I would have pissed to spend $20 on this when it's really just a poorly constructed decorating kit.
You have saved me from wasting money on these different kits. I was intrigued by them about a month ago and found your channel right after. So thank you 😊! I watched so many of your videos within a few days, I love your personality. Anyway..I would've bought some of those for Christmas for my kids, if not for you!
The selfish money grabby nature of these "creators" is sickening o__o I feel like companies just slap stock images of the "creator" on the box, put on their name and call it a day.
@@azura-moonstar well obviously, I called the creator money grabby, so of course I implied they had a say. Maybe I meant to say that the creators just let the companies do whatever, they just put their name on the crap kits. Sit back and grab the cash ;)
The food dye is probably water based which made the chocolate do that cottage cheese thing (my guess from my basic baking knowledge) there should have been a different type of food dye in there to mix with the chocolate
I was surprised last week when I saw craft city and a few other TH-camr kits at joanns... all I could think was NOOOOOO this is a real craft store dont do it!
As a cake decorator I have had to melt chocolate and put food coloring together you’re right this kit does not explain what to do because no matter what the food coloring up they give you is going to seize up unless you add oil or have special food coloring stuff so this kit is already setting you up for failure....I’m actually salty with u on this🤬 you didn’t do it wrong.... they gave u food coloring that has a water base not a oil base....this kit is a rip
I bet you leaked so much salt into those treats that they aren’t even edible anymore edit: I know this may not be a big deal to most. But OH MY GOD, TYSM FOR THE HEART I LOV UUUU
Hi I found you through “Dollightful” & I am so glad to! Also had to sub to you cuz I’m Canadian to Eh?! PS I cannot thank you enough as a mom, for your HONEST OPINION!!!! It’s about time someone does so! I have had seen my children experience soooo sooo many disappointments from diy and craft kits etc thanks to the type of dishonesty sold in these kits. The more you share honestly the better for me as a Canadian mainly online shopper for these types of kids crafts and such! Thank you Nerdy Crafter!
ugh I can’t believe they’re charging $20 for a “kit” that instructs you to literally destroy what little ingredients are included in it 😫 when I saw the food dye and the candy melts I knew this wouldn’t end well
Me too. My mom used candy melts for decorating treats growing up and she was always adamant about not getting water in them. That dye alone makes this kit so not worth it.
I can't believe they only give you a little bit of melts too! Like jfc the kit is instructing you to dip and brush on for many treats, why you skimping tho?
I’ve been with your channel for years! My dad and I even made your little resin fish pond years ago and we used a yogurt tub as the mould hahaha! I even burnt my eye accidentally with the resin hardener Oof. Love that you became EXTRA salty and not like the obvious sponsored videos that say everything is perrrfect ahhaha! Love you! Keep up the good work :)
Would of loved to see the price comparison between the “kit” and all the items bought separately. You probably could have bought all of the items including the Rice Krispies and marshmallows for cheaper than $20! I would honestly be so ashamed to have my name associated with this kit...
Ren Roberts Plus you’d have so much extra after the activity you could just have some cereal for fun :V It’s a damn shame company’s don’t give a fluff about producing something good for children. This “kit” was doomed from the start with a water based food coloring mixed with candy melts (aka fake sugar chocolate).
Ooooo. I feel the salt rising in me on this one. You literally got some sprinkles, paper cookbook (that you can look up online) and food coloring for 20bucks.... thanks Jackie for doing us a good service and unveiling the salt!
Hi Jackie!! I think you should make your own kit someday! I thinkthey would be amazing because of your experince with criticing kits!! #nerdificationsquad
Anyone else lookup the definition of colorize? According to Marian -Webster Colorize : to add color to (a black-and-white film) by means of a computer First used in print 1979 So the word means something completely different and isn’t even a synonym.
I love the teacher stuff that you include. As a teacher myself, I appreciate it lol. Plus the "English number 1!" Gag. I've lived overseas for 6 years and I totally struggle with English all the time lol.
I came down here to say this, happy others know this too :) Adding a little bit of coconut oil or veggie oil (may not taste that good, but) will help with the water-based food coloring fiasco. They should include oil-based ones if they don't want angry people. Or colored candy melts.
I am so glad I just go online to get ideas or use my imagination to make decorated cookies and sweets. These kits are a joke, they just slap something in a book and in the box. Very sad.
As soon as I saw that water based food coloring and the chocolate melts, I knew exactly how that was going to go. Chocolate coloring requires either oil based coloring or powder color. Any basic research on chocolate decorating could tell you that. Just shows how thrown together this kit actually was.
The issue with the chocolate is definitely because of the food coloring. You can't put a small amount of liquid into chocolate, it'll always make it seize. There's powdered dyes to use for chocolate, but those are more expensive.
They could have splurged a bit to include those little pots of gel food colouring. I mean. . . it's not like they gave them icing that costs more than 50 cents in the clearance bin at Walmart or anything. The cash they saved on the icing could have gone into providing usable food dye, but instead they just gave you TWO shitty supplies instead of just one.
Chocolate seizes up like that when too much moisture gets into the chocolate. That’s why bakers have to be careful when trying to melt chocolate using a double boiler. I thought choco melts were supposed to be able to take more moisture for coloring..guess not?! 😂😂
It was chocolate melts, not candy melts. Candy melts are wafers that you can melt and can take colouring. Choco melts are just chocolate discs for melting. Besides, it seized because the colouring was water based
The title - yOu DiD it wrONg The description - yOu DiD it wrONg The kit - yOu DiD it wrONg The Words - yOu DiD it wrONg Your life - yOu DiD it wrONg Edit: Jk love you Jackie 💖 (Sorry if I spelled that wrong)
Chocolate tips for crafters: The only way to fix chocolate that seizes is by adding oil (I prefer coconut oil) little by little until the texture returns to normal. You can also use coconut oil to thin normal chocolate so it drizzles really nicely, or for dipping. If you’ve ever tried making chocolate covered pretzels or cake balls and gotten frustrated at the thick goopy mess that’s the solution you were missing. Don’t go crazy with the oil or it will not ever harden (actually if you do get too much oil put it on ice cream. it’s homemade “magic chocolate shell”. Not sure if that’s a thing outside of America but it’s delicious)
You: *does art kit* You:*does it amazingly and better than what I could do* Haters:YoUdiDiTwROnG Me:wow I wonder what they would end up saying for me ;u;
pretty sure i’ve had that same “writing icing” and it was considered gel food coloring. this whole thing is a scam. videos like this are good for pointing out how shitty these companies can be when it comes to quality control.
Hi, I know you may not read this comment, but can you go on amazon and do a saltycrafter review on a kids cross stitching kit. I know it is sewing, but it’s really cool and shows you how to do the stitches. ( search: cross stitching kits, then pick which one you want to do. Love this video! Happy New year.🎆🎊🎈
low key confusing because they called the rice Krispy treat with pink stuff on it a paintbrush, and then on 2 pages you showed it said to use a paintbrush. So do you mean your rice Krispy thing or an actual paintbrush? *salt intensifies*

The selfish money grabby nature of these "creators" is sickening o__o I feel like companies just slap stock images of the "creator" on the box, put on their name and call it a day.
Companies do...
It’s pretty sad.
nope the youtuber has input on this stuff they sign a contract. can't just put a name/image of a person with out consent. Thats asking to be sue'ed.
@@azura-moonstar well obviously, I called the creator money grabby, so of course I implied they had a say. Maybe I meant to say that the creators just let the companies do whatever, they just put their name on the crap kits. Sit back and grab the cash ;)
The food dye is probably water based which made the chocolate do that cottage cheese thing (my guess from my basic baking knowledge) there should have been a different type of food dye in there to mix with the chocolate
Yes that's what happened to me idk what's with chocolate and water or even milk it turns into a weird texture that can't be undone
Anyone want a cup of salt XD
I was surprised last week when I saw craft city and a few other TH-camr kits at joanns... all I could think was NOOOOOO this is a real craft store dont do it!
Now I'm on a mission to go and hide all the crap kits!
@@Lilredcupcake lol they had Laur DIY jewelry making kits for 70% off, i also saw some jojo siwa ones too... 😖
I think she should be one of those spokespeople at every kit meeting that changes everyone's minds about the product.
As a cake decorator I have had to melt chocolate and put food coloring together you’re right this kit does not explain what to do because no matter what the food coloring up they give you is going to seize up unless you add oil or have special food coloring stuff so this kit is already setting you up for failure....I’m actually salty with u on this🤬 you didn’t do it wrong.... they gave u food coloring that has a water base not a oil base....this kit is a rip
I bet you leaked so much salt into those treats that they aren’t even edible anymore
edit: I know this may not be a big deal to most. But OH MY GOD, TYSM FOR THE HEART I LOV UUUU
My doctor says that my sugar level is low
And I got salty
Good job Crystal your now in THE saltness. exe
Hi I found you through “Dollightful” & I am so glad to! Also had to sub to you cuz I’m Canadian to Eh?! PS I cannot thank you enough as a mom, for your HONEST OPINION!!!! It’s about time someone does so! I have had seen my children experience soooo sooo many disappointments from diy and craft kits etc thanks to the type of dishonesty sold in these kits. The more you share honestly the better for me as a Canadian mainly online shopper for these types of kids crafts and such! Thank you Nerdy Crafter!
I would give it -10 on 10 dorks there’s nothing good or unique or creative about it. It’s like they did not even try at all!!!

ugh I can’t believe they’re charging $20 for a “kit” that instructs you to literally destroy what little ingredients are included in it 😫 when I saw the food dye and the candy melts I knew this wouldn’t end well
Me too. My mom used candy melts for decorating treats growing up and she was always adamant about not getting water in them. That dye alone makes this kit so not worth it.
Yeah...food dye and candy melts don’t mix. Too much water. I do mine with the food colouring gels. Waste of moneyyy
I can't believe they only give you a little bit of melts too! Like jfc the kit is instructing you to dip and brush on for many treats, why you skimping tho?
I'm honestly surprised you don't have more subscribers. You deserve a lot more. #NerdEficationSquad

I’ve been with your channel for years! My dad and I even made your little resin fish pond years ago and we used a yogurt tub as the mould hahaha! I even burnt my eye accidentally with the resin hardener Oof. Love that you became EXTRA salty and not like the obvious sponsored videos that say everything is perrrfect ahhaha! Love you! Keep up the good work :)
That Icing looks so liquid your cute things looks like what people make on "Nail It"
Kikyo0Takarai I love nail it
Lol u mean, "Nailed It" ?
Would of loved to see the price comparison between the “kit” and all the items bought separately. You probably could have bought all of the items including the Rice Krispies and marshmallows for cheaper than $20! I would honestly be so ashamed to have my name associated with this kit...
Ren Roberts Plus you’d have so much extra after the activity you could just have some cereal for fun :V It’s a damn shame company’s don’t give a fluff about producing something good for children. This “kit” was doomed from the start with a water based food coloring mixed with candy melts (aka fake sugar chocolate).
And even bought the correct food dye also!
Are Canadians afraid of drowning in the the maple syrup lakes and getting eaten by the moose fish
Yes
I would think that would be their dream...
The meese fish are quite nice...
Jackie I can’t deal with you 🤣🤣🤣😂😂
Yes...😔😢
Ooooo. I feel the salt rising in me on this one. You literally got some sprinkles, paper cookbook (that you can look up online) and food coloring for 20bucks.... thanks Jackie for doing us a good service and unveiling the salt!
Hi Jackie!! I think you should make your own kit someday! I thinkthey would be amazing because of your experince with criticing kits!! #nerdificationsquad
I come here for the cuteness. The hat duhhh
Omg she hearted my comment!
Anyone else lookup the definition of colorize?
According to Marian -Webster
Colorize : to add color to (a black-and-white film) by means of a computer
First used in print 1979
So the word means something completely different and isn’t even a synonym.
I love the teacher stuff that you include. As a teacher myself, I appreciate it lol. Plus the "English number 1!" Gag. I've lived overseas for 6 years and I totally struggle with English all the time lol.

Water based food colouring makes chocolate seize up >:(
I came down here to say this, happy others know this too :) Adding a little bit of coconut oil or veggie oil (may not taste that good, but) will help with the water-based food coloring fiasco. They should include oil-based ones if they don't want angry people. Or colored candy melts.
Yep, I was going to say the same. They should have used gel food colouring.
You could also use powder food dyes
I was also about to say that
I am so glad I just go online to get ideas or use my imagination to make decorated cookies and sweets. These kits are a joke, they just slap something in a book and in the box. Very sad.
Mmmmmhh! Cottage chocolate! My fAvOuRiTE!
This is the saltiest I’ve ever seen you!
Hevvy Rayne same
@Me da bee ya
As soon as I saw that water based food coloring and the chocolate melts, I knew exactly how that was going to go. Chocolate coloring requires either oil based coloring or powder color. Any basic research on chocolate decorating could tell you that. Just shows how thrown together this kit actually was.
Mexican friends, do we all agree that she should totally try the “Mi alegría” products 😂😂
A year later hahaha
But yesssss! Someone should mail her some Mi Alegría Kits!
Yes, please
OMG so true!
The issue with the chocolate is definitely because of the food coloring. You can't put a small amount of liquid into chocolate, it'll always make it seize. There's powdered dyes to use for chocolate, but those are more expensive.
They could have splurged a bit to include those little pots of gel food colouring. I mean. . . it's not like they gave them icing that costs more than 50 cents in the clearance bin at Walmart or anything. The cash they saved on the icing could have gone into providing usable food dye, but instead they just gave you TWO shitty supplies instead of just one.

Chocolate seizes up like that when too much moisture gets into the chocolate. That’s why bakers have to be careful when trying to melt chocolate using a double boiler.
I thought choco melts were supposed to be able to take more moisture for coloring..guess not?! 😂😂
I LOVE CHOCOLATE
It was chocolate melts, not candy melts. Candy melts are wafers that you can melt and can take colouring. Choco melts are just chocolate discs for melting.
Besides, it seized because the colouring was water based
Yall?! I feel complete now. I live in the south and it warms my heart to hear a northerner say yall:))

I am currently waiting for my niece to get older so I can buy her Art kits. (So I could Play with them too.)

Chocolate tips for crafters:
The only way to fix chocolate that seizes is by adding oil (I prefer coconut oil) little by little until the texture returns to normal.
You can also use coconut oil to thin normal chocolate so it drizzles really nicely, or for dipping. If you’ve ever tried making chocolate covered pretzels or cake balls and gotten frustrated at the thick goopy mess that’s the solution you were missing. Don’t go crazy with the oil or it will not ever harden (actually if you do get too much oil put it on ice cream. it’s homemade “magic chocolate shell”. Not sure if that’s a thing outside of America but it’s delicious)

Me:wow I wonder what they would end up saying for me ;u;
pretty sure i’ve had that same “writing icing” and it was considered gel food coloring. this whole thing is a scam. videos like this are good for pointing out how shitty these companies can be when it comes to quality control.
how is every part of this “kit” extremely bad? how do you get EVERY part wrong
You're correct, you can get gel food coloring from Walmart that, suspiciously, looks *exactly. Like. It.*
Yeah it was definitely gel food coloring

Hi, I know you may not read this comment, but can you go on amazon and do a saltycrafter review on a kids cross stitching kit. I know it is sewing, but it’s really cool and shows you how to do the stitches. ( search: cross stitching kits, then pick which one you want to do. Love this video! Happy New year.🎆🎊🎈
I made rice krispies with melted color things on them. Very......... melty results. #NerdEFictationSquad
low key confusing because they called the rice Krispy treat with pink stuff on it a paintbrush, and then on 2 pages you showed it said to use a paintbrush. So do you mean your rice Krispy thing or an actual paintbrush? *salt intensifies*
