Thank you for pointing out the danger of hot melted sugar! I once made the mistake of putting my finger in as a kid, it hurts like hell. I was really lucky that I was right next to the sink and immediately ran cold water over it, and that I had only put the finger in a little bit. The candy recipes look amazing, I love rocky road. ♥️😋 Candied pomelo peel is also amazing, give it a try.
I think you are the only chef I have heard of candying their own Buddha’s Hand Citron, but I don’t think we have those where I live. The visual tutorial was really wonderful on the citron, you are both imaginative and pleasant to lsten to, thank you, Chef John!
Glad you did the seed brittle. Our granddaughter is allergic to many things. Especially tree nuts. Thank you! Will try some of the others too! October 23, 2022
Thank you for the grandmas peanut butter fudge recipe. I have my grandmas recipe and now after watching you make yours I’m going to make hers this year! She’s gone now but her recipes will always live on! Thank you and Happy Holidays!!
Part of your issue with the chocolate is that you have to stir like hell while the ⅓ part is melting. It helps with the crystallizing. Stella Parks did a post on this at Serious Eats,
I used to make bark in silicon Heart muffin baking vessels. So they came out Heart shaped. And then I'd wrap them in aluminum foil. I have bought my prescooler bear shaped muffin vessels..might use those this year!!
Yum Yum....... thank you for this video Chef John..... actually the Peach Gelee you showed here, actually looks some what similar to how my mum makes something similar to this Peach Gelee..... but we call it "Guava Cheese" because of the smooth texture of this candy...... and we always make it for Christmas and my favourite job in making this is to scoop out all the seeds from the Guavas..... but first my mum cuts the guavas in half and then boils them till they are all cooked and when they all are cooked my mum Bellows "Rebecca, Come and De-seed (a.k.a: remove all the seeds) the Guavas" and if i fail to do this on time, my dad or my mum, herself, will do the work..... and i am always the one who ends up being pretty grumpy if someone else does the de-seeding of the Guavas job....... so i always do it without fail..........anyway, after all the Guavas are de-seeded, my mum just puts the halves in a blender and makes a puree and then she uses the same technique as you showed in making the Peach Gelee...... but we don't add pectin in our Guava Gelee (or as we in India call it "Guava Cheese") and it's very yum.....but well, both my parents are diabetics and i actually don't eat too much sweets, myself, because 1) Indian sweets are WAY TOO SWEET even for this Indian..... and 2) My dad and mum can't have anything sweet anyway, and as the only person in the family (since my elder brother lives in the U.S with his wife and their little Munchkin- for- a- daughter, who is just 4 years old now..... 28th Oct is her birthday, so she just had her birthday), i just can't eat all that sugar stuff because i don't want to have health issues, plus diabetes is actually hereditary in my dad's side of the family...... and 3) i am more of the "Extremely Sour" candy kind of person.......... so yeah, the only exception is Chocolates....... and also i asked my mum if we can cut down on the sugar in this Gelee recipe because my mum puts equal amounts of Sugar to equal amounts of Guava Pulp (or puree) ........ and actually that is the only sweet stuff my mum says is hard to cut sugar out of....... but she cuts the amount of sugar used in making cakes, and other traditional Christmas sweets my family makes........ i actually have eaten my aunt's stuff and i actually do find those a bit too sweet for my taste and also some of the items are a bit too hard to bite on.....
If you do not have a candy thermometer, you can use a water test. Put cool water in a bowl, big enough to fit you hand in, drop a bit of the hot candy into the water in bowl, wait a min a then retrieve your candy from water, if it dissolved or is soft, for a hard candy, cook longer until candy dropped in water is hard and brittle.
OMG, I've been obsessed with Honeycomb candy ever since I made butterfingers from scratch. You cannot find it at any confectioners, I have tried and visited many. I'll try this recipe and yes, I'm dipping said confection in chocolate!
May I ask, how long do they keep. I’m thinking of making those and sending some to a friend that lives abroad. It will take at least a week to reach her. Will it spoil?
@@dvkaw7780 I have vacuum-sealed all kinds of things, in heat-sealed bags with air removed, to send to others and it works well in keeping moisture out and items fresher. If you don't have a sealer, I have also used small snack or sandwich baggies with as much air taken out as possible. It is a good thing to invest in since I seal items for the freezer, and pantry storage, or have portions ready for lunch bags.
I never heard it called Seafoam, but Cadbury does make a chocolate bar called 'Crunchie' that I used to buy until I figured out how to make it myself. It really is better with a coating of chocolate. Yum.
Yes, either dark or milk chocolate, yum. My kids and I love it, but it's very expensive, so we only get it once a year. Who knew that it's so easy and cheap to make?! Guess what they're all getting in their stockings this year!
You mean it's not break a tooth brittle? 😂 My mom spilled hot brittle on her arm when she lost her grip on the pan while transferring it onto a cookie sheet. It was horribly painful, and seared that lesson into mind forever.
I can't tell if Chef John reassuring people about corn syrup vs high-fructose corn syrup directly after adding white sugar is a running joke or not. Hfcs and sugar are the same levels of unhealthy, it's just the primary sweetener for the majority of unhealthy foods and drinks in the US, which of course would cause it to be the main cause of sweetener-related health issues. Replace it with sugar and the results would be the same.
Anybody know if certain fruits won’t work in the glee? I know strawberries and pineapples don’t work in jello, so I wonder whether they will work in this.
re: the torrone method, adding the egg whites to the syrup is safer than trying to tilt a pan of molten lava into a bowl of beaten egg whites while whisking.
I have a question. Can you use the pumpkin seeds from the store that are white and salted? I don't like the green seeds, but I love the other kind. Also, thank you so much for that first recipe. I am allergic to all nuts, but I can eat seeds.
@@necrojoe I looked it up. Yes but no. The white ones have a green interior, but the green ones sold by themselves (the ones I don't like) come from a different type/variety of pumpkin. They taste different. The green ones have a much stronger and bitter taste. I had wondered what the difference was between them. Thanks for asking.
I always have, but I live in a TINY community and used to put a label sticker with the candy name and my phone# on peanut brittle that I handed out. Everyone knows everyone here though and the kids can see who put the brittle in their bag. Otherwise, I wouldn't do it in a larger location as it would just get thrown out. Great for the household or your own visitors though.
ok, paused the video at 10 seconds. just wondering if he's gonna add cayenne pepper to ANY of these dishes, seeing he adds it to EVERYTHING ELSE. Ok, now un-pausing.

The torrone is what got me watching Chef John.
Mmmm, pistachios with pumpkin seeds sounds good, too
You could cover them with dark chocolate on the honeycomb candy and make Violet Crumble. Yuuuummmmmy!
Oh, thank you. My favorite store quit carrying their pumpkin seed brittle. They add pumpkin pie spice before the press. Can’t wait to make!!

The Honey Comb candy is the best candy in this video. My kids love it!

Torrone with pistachios and dried cranberries for Christmas!
I'm always amazed how good that chocolate bark looks with the red and green. Got to be one of the best Christmas snacks!

Honeycomb dipped in melted chocolate is delicious!
Butterfinger without the peanut butter
@@spacebar9733More like a Cadbury Crunchie.
I used to make bark in silicon Heart muffin baking vessels. So they came out Heart shaped. And then I'd wrap them in aluminum foil. I have bought my prescooler bear shaped muffin vessels..might use those this year!!
These are not only GREAT for Christmas,
but Festivas too!
I love these compilations weeee
Yes I was waiting for this kind of video from you Chef John :D

I plan on making these for Christmas.
This is Exactly the video I didn't know I Needed today😊😍☺😋
Thank You.
"YA Tittle of your pumpkin seed brittle". Chef John, you are the Bart Starr of your pumpkin in seed bar... and I mean that in a good way.
I love the maxwell reference! 😂
They all look amazing!!❤🙏🥂
What a great idea making pumpkin seed brittle! It looks delicious. Specially since he doesn’t know pumpkin seeds. Thanks chef John.
I do Rocky road for Christmas.
If you do not have a candy thermometer, you can use a water test. Put cool water in a bowl, big enough to fit you hand in, drop a bit of the hot candy into the water in bowl, wait a min a then retrieve your candy from water, if it dissolved or is soft, for a hard candy, cook longer until candy dropped in water is hard and brittle.
Darn it all looked delicious 😋
Mmm yummy. Thank you John

Message(s) sent.
yes, i did watch this entire 50 minute video. yes, i want to make all of it.
Thanks for the recipes ❤️
I make peanut brittle & chocolate~mint fudge at Christmas time & I always say the peanut brittle is easier to make then the fudge!!
May I ask, how long do they keep. I’m thinking of making those and sending some to a friend that lives abroad. It will take at least a week to reach her. Will it spoil?
I’m not sure exactly how long brittle will keep, but I do know it needs to be kept in a tightly sealed container, such as glass or metal.
@@dvkaw7780 I have vacuum-sealed all kinds of things, in heat-sealed bags with air removed, to send to others and it works well in keeping moisture out and items fresher. If you don't have a sealer, I have also used small snack or sandwich baggies with as much air taken out as possible. It is a good thing to invest in since I seal items for the freezer, and pantry storage, or have portions ready for lunch bags.
In the Pacific Northwest, we call the honeycomb (2nd candy) Seafoam and cover it with chocolate.
I never heard it called Seafoam, but Cadbury does make a chocolate bar called 'Crunchie' that I used to buy until I figured out how to make it myself. It really is better with a coating of chocolate. Yum.
Yes, either dark or milk chocolate, yum. My kids and I love it, but it's very expensive, so we only get it once a year. Who knew that it's so easy and cheap to make?! Guess what they're all getting in their stockings this year!

Fantastic yummy 😋😋
I love him
For the peach gelee, could you use confectioner's sugar instead of granulated sugar?
Love all your videos. Could U make the brittle without stirring any add ins? Thanks
Thank you !!
"so unless you're tired of having finger prints, please be careful"
Someone check on Chef John's wife for me please...
Chef John: would you pretty please with a cherry 🍒 on top make a curried chicken salad sandwich?
Brittle releases easily from tin foil. Don’t try to make it when it’s humid outside. It won’t harden.
I can't tell if Chef John reassuring people about corn syrup vs high-fructose corn syrup directly after adding white sugar is a running joke or not.
Hfcs and sugar are the same levels of unhealthy, it's just the primary sweetener for the majority of unhealthy foods and drinks in the US, which of course would cause it to be the main cause of sweetener-related health issues. Replace it with sugar and the results would be the same.
Macadam Road...Rocky Road with Macadamia nuts...
You the funny man
Anybody know if certain fruits won’t work in the glee? I know strawberries and pineapples don’t work in jello, so I wonder whether they will work in this.
I think any fruit would work. Some fruits, like berries, will need to have the seeds strained. Cooking length and pectin May need to be adjusted.
Apricots or plums would probably work and be delicious, or pears.
Use greased aluminum foil for the torrone.
I've watched LOTS of your videos and you rarely tell the size of the pan. What size was the tortonne?
so the chocolate bark is bitter? No sweetener?
re: the torrone method, adding the egg whites to the syrup is safer than trying to tilt a pan of molten lava into a bowl of beaten egg whites while whisking.
WhT do u do with syrup from the Buddha fingers? I feel bad discarding it. Can it be used for something?
So did you ever split the difference and try the seafoam with 1.5x the baking soda? If so, how did it turn out?
lovely
How do I get these recipes. I'd like to try some for a few boxes of mixed home made candies for Thanksgiving treats. Thank you
❤❤❤
My bark is only with crushed peppermint candy canes.
It’s November 2024. Today I discovered that your newest recipe videos require signing up for a big fee. COME ON!
How many days will these treats store ?
Yes, it really really hurts if you get burned 😅
No measurements, how can I make this torrone?
I have a question. Can you use the pumpkin seeds from the store that are white and salted? I don't like the green seeds, but I love the other kind. Also, thank you so much for that first recipe. I am allergic to all nuts, but I can eat seeds.
Aren't the green seeds just what's inside the white?

What was the original name of the channel. dont recall it being called food wished ot having a ton of subs.
This channel has *ALWAYS* been called *_"Food Wishes,"_* ever since it started in about 2007.
yummy
Dude, If I was giving out homemade candy all the soccer moms in my area would burn down my house for trying to put razor blades in their kids candy.
Will it work with sqaash aeeds
Nougat? Oh please make some chocolate coveted nougats?
Chef John...where are you from? Is your voice cadence regional or familial ?
"Pink sugar flavor" 🤭🤭🤭
dont think people except homemade candy.... could be spiked...
Accept
It’s hokey pokey and shouldn’t have honey - well the English one doesn’t. Cover it with chocolate and you have a Crunchie Bar
Wow NYC
Lost opportunity to say “Cacau” in the rocky road segment.
Oh yum! I can taste how bad that is for me.
Birdy
Live dangerously, use a small pan.
you can't give out home made candy on halloween!
I always have, but I live in a TINY community and used to put a label sticker with the candy name and my phone# on peanut brittle that I handed out. Everyone knows everyone here though and the kids can see who put the brittle in their bag. Otherwise, I wouldn't do it in a larger location as it would just get thrown out. Great for the household or your own visitors though.
That honeycomb stuff always comes out gross… even if I use 1/8th the amount, I get the same amount of bubbles and a disgusting bicarbonate flavor.
ok, paused the video at 10 seconds. just wondering if he's gonna add cayenne pepper to ANY of these dishes, seeing he adds it to EVERYTHING ELSE. Ok, now un-pausing.
