Rachel: This peppermint snowflake is my favorite.
Also Rachel: *doesn't show us a close-up of it*
😂❤️
Ha! Just got to it and thought the same. 🤣
Noticed the same thing; made me smile!
I was waiting for a close up everytime.
I thought the same thing… 😊
I think Chris is my spirit animal. He's so low energy, but I can tell he's actually having fun. It give me hope that I will find someone who enjoys being around my level of chill. Great video!
Rachel, I feel like an offset spatula would make your chocolate spreading dreams come true. The utter perfection it can provide for smoothing out things that are poured is incredible. I highly recommend.
Every year since I was little my mom used to make chocolate covered matzo every year for Passover. The exact same as the saltine recipe, but using matzo instead. So yummy 😊
Tip for the christmas cracker toffee: I prefer using club crackers rather than saltines, because they add a buttery flavor and i think they're a nicer texture, and also i would highly recommend adding some salt to the toffee mix. It makes them soooo good. I have them every year and can't stop eating them haha
I love christmas crack! [The saltine toffee thing] we do ours with pretzels, sprinkles, and sea salt on top to cou her act the sugar.
I add coconut oil when I make dipping chocolate or candy melts. I makes them easier to dip and gives it a softer bite. I just made pretzels dipped in white chocolate and sprinkled them with crushed peppermint. I didn't add very much coconut oil to the first ones. The coating came out too thick and it was hard to bite through. The second batch was much easier to dip and the coating was much easier to bite through. Merry Christmas Rachel, Christopher and your adorable little ones. Enjoy your vacation!
Great tips thank you
I do this too! The coconut oil helps so much!
WooHoo 🥳 I’m making these now & needed the TIP! Thank You! Merry Christmas 🎄
If you find some people can find the coconut flavour and don't like it you can use cocoa butter chips. They are easy to find at any good baking ingredient store or bulk store (at least where I live). It's what I used when I worked in a bakery & had to dip with white chocolate (my nemesis to this day hahaha)
I commented on the last video about the sprinkles and luster dust, and now im back with a couple tips. First, use a dry paintbrush to lightly dust the luster dust into the molds; better coverage, less waste, and less mess. As for the chocolate/candy melt situation, you can loosen them with oil so they dont get too hard and don't set too fast. In general, chocolate is always the best bet but candy melts are fine for thin coatings and decoration (however, some people can taste the difference and tend not to like the melts.) Last tip is to use a piping bag instead of a spoon to put the chocolate/melt into the molds, you can better control where it goes and how thick, do them one at a time (piping and adding cake before moving on), and give a light tap on the counter to avoid air bubbles messing up your finish.
All that said, I LOVE watching you and Chris encounter problems and figure out fixes. Thats one of those skills that shows the difference between basic home cooks and someone who could do it as a job if they wanted. Enjoy your vacation guys!!!
Thank you for the tips I am a baker but I'm way better at baking then decorating and this will help me in the future to make things look as good as they taste ❤
Enjoy your time off! I think taking time off should be a normal thing for content creators. I saw way too many of my favorites have burn out this year, and I think the way you've approached taking this time off is great 👏. See you in 2022! 🎉
I love CHRISTMAS crack. I usually make three different trays 1. dark chocolate with crushed Reese’s on top. 2. Milk chocolate with walnuts or pecans. & 3. White chocolate with candy cane. ❤️❤️ merry Christmas 🎄 see you next year.
Christmas Crack is made slightly different, and when it's done right it tastes like Almond Roca. Your toffee looked kind of dark and grainy, and when it comes out of the oven you don't have to wait to put the chips on. You want it in while it's hot, and it's roughly 2 cups of chips (or a smaller 16 oz bag from the grocery store, not the bulk bag size). You want the chocolate and "toffee" to meld together while it's warm. If the toffee cools too much, the chocolate won't melt right. It's so good when made right, and is a year round favorite at our house. We make the butter/sugar mixture, we don't add toffee pieces, because they dont always melt down evenly.
Yay, stuff to watch while wrapping presents.
Also one of the best ways to eat cake with candy melts is cake pops. My personal favorite is vanilla cake and coated in salted caramel candy melt. It's nice and crunchy then the inside is soft plus the salty and sweet is so good.
sometimes, i add peanut butter to my "christmas crack" and it tastes amazing! just the regular Kraft stuff - it gets all smooth and melty!
Possible tip: For the cakes, try chocolate ganache and then stick them in the freezer for a while (30 min maybe). Then take them out of the mold (frozen) and let them thaw a little before eating. Ganache usually holds its shape and is softer than just melted chocolate 😊
I'm so happy you're taking two weeks off! I will be binging old videos in your absence.
Half pint of cream, tin of condensed milk and the juice of 3-4 lemons makes the most delicious dessert. Served in a pastry case or digestive biscuit base...stunning.
The saltine cracker candy has been a huge Christmas tradition for my family since before I was born, we call it soda cracker candy but I’ve also heard it called Christmas Crack. It’s even better with chocolate AND butterscotch chips, or chocolate and peanut butter chips. My favorite is the butterscotch & chocolate chips though, it just adds even more to an already really good, easy treat. But we use probably twice as much of the toffee stuff, coating every cracker, top and bottom.
It's also good with crushed candy canes or shredded coconut.
@@DougCoughler yes! I love candy cane on top and I definitely need to try coconut now!
I have never made it with butterscotch chips! That's sounds divine! B. Dylan Hollis just made it on his channel.
Somebody brought some to work that were graham crackers instead of saltines.
@@JamPle84 ooooh graham crackers would be insanely good!! Never would have thought to use them but now I have to haha
Jessica Braun's 3 ingredient recipes are awesome. Since they showed on a past Vlogmas, we do them all the time...and they freeze well. Her Faux Thin Mints are Ritz crackers dipped into melted chocolate with peppermint extract (to taste). Let harden on wax paper...done. The Faux Tagalongs are creamy peanut butter spread on Ritz crackers, dipped into melted chocolate. Let sit on wax paper. That one won't work for you allergy-wise, but for peanut butter eaters, they're delicious. It doesn't get easier, kids can do them, it keeps kids busy for a bit, and and adults like to eat them. Good deal.
Your look is giving me super early 2000s vibes. The hair, the makeup, even the shirt. It suits you. Love the hacks
Cracker Toffee is the best! I have been making it for years. It cracked me up when you brought out that gigantic bag of Chocolate chips! Have a great vacation. I recently found your channel and can't get enough of it!
I feel like there is a new trend on TH-cam this season because you are the third youtuber that I follow that is taking 2 weeks off for Christmas!
Enjoy 💫💫
Watching you try new recipes makes me feel like I can too!! Thank you for your kindness, joy, and inspiration this year! Merry Christmas and enjoy your break!❤🎄
New here and I absolutely love your content, your enthusiasm and your energy! You make me laugh and God knows do we need it these days, thank you so much!
Oh my goodness I couldn't agree more with Christopher's fondant statement!!! 💯
Hard agree. Fondant is so good for the eyes but SO BAD for the mouth. UGH. So if I'm gonna eat some cake you better keep that fondant far away from it.
I call the Saltines treat, Christmas Crack. I make it every year, but I use pretzels. It’s really good!
I was telling my husband I bet it would be super good with pretzels instead of crackers. Although where I am in Georgia there is a pretzel shortage lol idk why but there are none anywhere
@@krisb5695 boo! That sucks. I’ve heard there’s been shortages happening. I hope you find your pretzels and get to try it. It’s amazing! My boyfriend, who does not like sweets, loves it!
Very nice ideas, especially the cake one.
I wonder if freezing the "3 Musketeers" mixture would be easier if you immediately poured it into silicone molds. Cutting it seemed like a step I wouldn't want. :)
Happy and healthy holidays and a big heartfelt thank you for making 2021 much lighter end easier! ❤❤❤
That outfit is fire, Rachel! You're looking really good!
I keep looking at you thinking something looks wrong then it dawns on me.... your wearing a denim!🤣
I'm so use to seeing the sweatpants!
Love the look tho that top looks amazing!
Have a awesome holiday!
The Christmas crack kinda reminds me of these cookies my mom makes for Christmas time. It’s just ritz crackers dipped in mint chocolate candies with sprinkles. They are SO easy and taste like thin mints 😋
I’m so addicted to your channel it is so good and entertaining
🤗I love 3 Ingredient recipes! It’s amazing how many things can be made so simply but also be simply fantastic! Thank you for sharing! I love your presentation. I make cooking videos too and I love watching and learning for other talented creators like you! 🧑🍳🤗
Lovely 👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻
You should paintbrush the chocolate on the inside of the cake molds. It would be a chocolate shell cake!
The cracker candy is great with Matzo! For Passover every year I make the Matzo crack and it is amazing!
pro tip: if you want to gently sprinkle glitter on something, dip a paintbrush in it and tap the handle against a finger or something just above what you want sprinkled. this also works with liquids.
I absolutely love watching the baking stuff ❤ me and my niece get together and watch and follow the recipes that you do on here. Sometimes they come out amazing.... Other times not so much 😂 one of my favorite youtubers! ❤❤
Merry Christmas Rachel, Chris & family! 🎄🎅🏻💜🥰 thank you for all you do to entertain us! See you in 2022
My grandmother made the saltines one for years but we call them poor man cookies. SOOOOO good!!!
The first recipe is known as brickle. Boyfriend's 70 year old grandmother has been making it since she was a kid. It's really good
You could fill those little cakes with frosting, custard, or jam etc. and they'd be awesome.
I've had that saltine toffee recipe for years and years.....tastes just like a Skor bar....so good!
Merry Christmas, enjoy your time off with the family.
Enjoy your break and your family!!
I love Christopher's Calvin and Hobbs shirt
I feel like the cake hack would be really good with a smear of frosting on the cake.
I plan to try a recipe over the holiday where you make a Graham crust(Graham cracker and butter, pour with chocolate and butterscotch chips, and drizzle with sweetened condensed milk, then bake. It's supposed to be similar to the cracker recipe.
Maybe make a cake ball mix and put that in on the chocolate??
Are these the Magic bars, with coconut and pecans? :)
@@RainyJo715 reminds me of 7 layer bars 😉
I made a Passover of the cracker dish with Matzah. So good!
Oooo you could do the snowflakes with frosting if you freeze it for a bit to make the frosting come out of the mould and then let it thaw before eating.
Have a blessed and safe and Merry Christmas and New Year!💕😽
Funny how cake with chocolate coating is something extraordinary to you... in germany it's very common to do so, a lot of cake mixes have a pack of special chocolate for that included! :) even if you want to buy prebaked cakes (regular shelves, not from the fridge), they tend to have a thin chocolate shell :)
Use the luster dust on the snowflakes on the cakes. 😊
I would maybe put vanilla in the nougat. Another thing is it could help to paint chocolate in a ice cube tray and then pour the nougat mixture into them.
If you want to do that technique with frosting you could probably fill the mold with buttercream and the cupcake and then freeze. if it's taken from the mold while frozen the buttercream will hold shape as it warms up
The making of the toffee is giving me Alvin Zhou vibes. Very relaxing 😌
I learned to make the cracker candy differently, perhaps easier. Spread butter on the saltines and then top with sugar. That goes in the oven. When it comes out top with plenty of chocolate chips. It makes its own toffee like magic.
Lookin good Rachel! Keep up the 😎 stuff!
I been watching for as long as i can remember!
Happy holidays! See you in 2022... tons of love and best wishes to you and your family.
OMG CHRISTMAS CRACK! I thought everyone did this. We add candy canes and pretzels bits but honestly you can do pretty much anything and it’ll be good. Let everyone get their own section and go wild!
The cakes with the chocolate/candy melts topping is brilliant! Have to try it.
For the thick chocolate shells - try dilute it with a little bit of vegetable oil (I think one tea spoon oil per 100 gram chocolate).
And the toffee crackers one - already tried it with matzah 🤣 need to try this version as well
The three musketeers copycat bar made me drool like a baby😥
Have a wonderful vacation, enjoy the time off wih family and friends. I promise I will still be here in a January! 😉
I think if you poured your faux-3-muskateers nougaty stuff into a mold that shapes them into bars, dipping after would maybe go smoother. These look fun, all of them, even so! Thank you! 💜🎅🏼⛄ Happy Holidays!
You deserve the time off with your family, we will miss you of course! Merry Christmas ❤️❤️❤️
Love the Calvin & Hobbes in the snow shirt Christopher is wearing!!!! Best shirt ever!!! And Festive!!!
Hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas 🎄
Enjoy your break!! ⛄🎄🦌🎅🥳
The first recipe has been made in my family for years. We call it Christmas crack and sprinkle crushed candy canes over the chocolate. Delicious!
Have an awesome time on your vacca guys !!!!
You can do the molds with frosting, just put a bunch of it in, do the same thing you did with the chocolate but now you freeze it rock solid and peel it out while still frozen
Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you and your beautiful family 🥰
When you put that background music while making toffee I could almost hear "excited Alvin noises" 😀
Happy holidays to you and your family. Hope you all manage to spend quality time together and recharge your batteries.
My mom has made Christmas Crack since I the 70’s. It’s amazing!!! Funny to watch people just try it now.
I make peanut butter cookies. Peanut butter of your choice, sugar, egg (vanilla optional). My favorite quick easy snack
The cakes! Definitely the cakes! I love baking easy recipes. I made truffles with a boxed lemon edible cookie dough and a bag of dark chocolate. People went nuts!
when cutting the three musketeers thing it could help to put cornstarch or maybe even powder sugar on the knife so it doesn't stick too much and destroy the squares
Best editor 😂😂😂 I almost choked on the pizza crust I was eating because I laughed so much at saluting Pam 10/10 would almost choke on pizza crust again.
Look forward to your videos every Saturday :)
Hope you have a wonderful holidays.
We use the chocolate and Cool Whip as pie filling with chocolate on top
Enjoy your vacation!
The saltines here we call Christmas crack hahahahaha been around awhile with tons of variations traditionally it's called Christmas Bark.
Thank you so much for all the amazing content, wishing you and yours a very merry Christmas and a happy New year from Ireland, 🥰
Your makeup is so pretty in this video! Would love to know what you’re wearing or see a tutorial on your makeup channel! :)
Those cakes could do like a icing filling inside! From the bottom!
I don’t know if someone already said this but I think a sprinkle of flake salt on top of the toffee would give it just an extra umph. That’s how we do it around my house. 😋
2 weeks off! I'll miss you and Chris.. :)
Enjoy your holiday!!
You could brush the inside of the mold with chocolate or candy melt, pipe in a layer of frosting, then put the cake it. That way you still have the pretty outside, but also the frosting in the inside? Maybe :)
Quick tip. Use a squeeze bottle to melt and pour the melted candy and chocolate. Can buy them on Amazon or a Wilton distributor. You can get much more control in distribution and can also re heat at 30 second intervals to keep it pourable.
Nougat is basically a sort of marshmallow/toffee hybrid, basically caramel/toffee/hard candy is all simply sugar and water heated, and it becomes harder the longer it is heated (and this process is not reversible, hence why candy thermometers are a thing). So marshmallow is egg whites with a sugar syrup (heated to a certain point) whipped into it. It is very soft.
Nougat can be either chewy or crunchy and is made with a sugar syrup that has been cooked for a longer period of time (dependent on the desired texture) plus the whipped egg white & other ingredients. I have no doubt that a '3 Musketeers' bar is not made by Italian artisans... however, it is definitely not the texture of fake cream and chocolate melted together.
Merry Christmas and happy new year!
My boyfriend makes the first recipe every Christmas time. We add either crushed peppermint or walnuts to the top, too. :)
Merry Christmas!! I hope you have a nice break and enjoy your holiday. I'll miss you both but you deserve the break.
Use the "nougat" in hot milk to make cocoa.
Even if you added coconut oil or paraffin to the candy melts it's still going to be hard like chocolate. I do have a hack of my own though which is to take the candy melts on a regular pastry brush not silicone and paint the bottom of the molds with the chocolate and decorations and then put the cake back in.
Hope you and your beautiful family have an amazing Christmas 🎄 thanks for keeping us entertained throughout 2021, can’t wait too see you in the new year. All the best ❤️
Love the new look Rach! You guys are so much fun to watch. Enjoy your short break. Merry Christmas!
Hope you have a great Christmas 🎄☃️
I make peanut butter balls every year, I take peanut butter, sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips, mix it up rolling into a ball thrown into the refrigerator, that’s it.
Peppermint bark is easier to make, it’s just two ingredients, white chocolate and candy cane.
Chris' fondant comment. He wins the internet!
Remember Cool whip never freezes completely solidly. You can't cut Cool whip into squares even when it's frozen you can always get some out of the tub it's not even as hard as ice cream.
Feel like I’m missing out but I’ve never had Christmas crack. My family always did a red velvet cake for Christmas.
