Toffee- start with a caramel base, sugar with a little less than half as much water, until it melts and begins to turn gold (start about 3 minutes before the butter. (Brush sides with water if it starts sticking and crystalizing above the bubbles). In a separate pan, brown the butter as normal.
When they are both ready, pour them together off heat. And whisk until they begin to thicken. Then pour wherever you need it.
I was just going to type this ❤
Yeah I've never had good luck with caramel starting with the fat in. Caramelize your sugar (you can start with just sugar but I prefer the wet-sand method the person above mentions, you don't have to measure the water because the sugar won't caramelize until all of the water has evaporated anyways (so less water will go quicker, the water is just there to make it easier to heat everything evenly without burning spots), stir slowly with a spoon until get it where you like, then add fat (butter/cream) and it'll bubble up like crazy and THAT'S when you whisk.
@@bsidethebox the problem is a lot of "butters" have water in them and water at the stage of adding the fat with your sugars (or any time after) causes the sugars to seize up. That's why browning them separately first works - the water has been removed before combining them. Also if too thick don't add water add oil or it will seize up.
@@rhondaflesher8313 Not as I understand it. There are plenty of caramel/toffee recipes that start with water, fat, and sugar--even in my pastry school textbook! I just think they're much more finicky and frustrating, especially if you haven't had a lot of practice with cooking sugar. The issue with splitting caramels (where you end up with chunky, grainy sugar clumps in a greasy soup) is that sugar and butter (and other fats) melt (and burn!) at very different temperatures. So you can have all your butter melted while your sugar is still in crystals. You can still get a good caramel/toffee by SLOWLY cooking the mass while constantly stirring to avoid hot spots (wash down sides as usual) until the sugar starts to melt and then mixing more vigorously to bring them back together (probably why the recipe she was using instructed her to whisk at the end). Adding a bit of water can help, too. Of course, your butter/fat/cream can burn if it heats too high so getting impatient and turning the heat up high or walking away for a bit is way more risky. 😣 (Splitting can also occur when you melt or cool completed caramel too quickly; try adding a bit of water and reheating slowwwwwly)
In my opinion, it's much easier to add your fat at the end of caramelizing the sugar. You can walk/look away from it at the beginning, you don't have to stir it nearly as much, and it's much easier to control the color of your caramel (one of the hardest parts of caramel making for beginners is knowing when to stop cooking it, in part because the residual heat from the pan will continue to cook it for a bit--adding the butter/cream at the end actually helps cool off the mixture a bit so you can control the color/flavor a bit better.) Maybe there are some advantages to doing it all at the beginning, but I personally haven't found one.
You can also do butter sugar and a few tablespoons of glucose or corn syrup to keep it from recrystalizing
To be fair, smell is half the taste with just about anything. They've done studies with a bunch of different foods and if you plug your nose, you just get the sweet/salty/savoryness that your tongue automatically separates. It's weird but try it!
I think taste buds in your mouth detect taste (salty, bitter etc) and the nose detects flavor, there's a difference. I'm surprised Rachel and Chris don't know that, I thought it was common knowledge
Apple and potato is one of the famous studies with this!
@@Mskatebug92 apple and onion as well
The only Skittle that belongs in the garbage is green apple lol
Yea, this is why we can't taste much when we have a cold or flu.I also am surprised that they didn't know this, only because they seem like they would know a lot about food science. I kinda assumed it was common knowledge but I for sure am a science geek and know tons of random facts that I always think everyone knows but at some point I realize a lot of people don't care about the weird crap I think is interesting lol. Either way these videos are always fun to watch!
I need 2 things:
1) To test my toaster now like Chris
2) A gif of Rachel saying "Christopher don't eat raw dough!" because that made me giggle
ORRR just a gif of Rachel saying “Christopher” because she says that a lot and we’re all here for that! 💜💜
Rachel: This is how to use your left over candies.
Me: ...... What leftover candies?
and how she forgetting about them all year.
@@donnyreiss1180 right my kids always ask for them
LOL
Rach: “What if it’s not done in the middle?” Chris: “It’s not done” Chris is so chill he’s practically horizontal
“Christopher! CHRISTOPHER! Don’t eat raw dough!” I swear I love this couple, they’re made for each other 😂
10:38 Chris: “Was it two FULL packets of skittles? Like unopened packets??”
Rachel: 👁👄👁
LOL the way chris slowly came into the frame and exposed you
*menacing waddle* guess again, Rachel
Rachel: I’m going to make skittles popcorn
Me: is a long time watcher of Ann Readon from How to Cook That
Also me: no Rachel!!!! You’re just gonna waste the skittles!!!
I immediately thought of the video Ann did! 😂
Omg yessss😂😂
Yes!! Anne reardon is amazing!
same 😭
Yeah I also thought back to that video and just thought no Rachel that is a mistake
For the skittles - they dont all taste the same, the nose just has a really big role in taste in general!
Yeah plugging your nose blocks all taste for any food 😂😂
Exactly!!!
i like the purple ones.
Flavor is 80% aroma 20% taste
OMG!!!!!😆
The toaster science at the end was the best part!!! I was laughing so hard Christopher is funny 🤣🤣🤣
"Why do we need to have plain potato chips." DIP! Specifically, Helluva Good Dip. French onion. The best!!!!
How is no one in the comments asking why potato chips are part of a Halloween candy video? Is this a Canadian thing?
It's because many people hand out mini bags of chips either instead of chocolate and candy or with chocolate and candy.
I got chips as a kid, trick or treating in Michigan
Lol right! I have never gotten chips for Halloween. Occasionally mini pretzels, but that's it. Halloween is for candy/chocolate
Mini bags of chips are super common, didn't think the States were any different. It's any juck food, really. My Mom does up a little bag with a bag of chips, a mini bar and some candy.
Canadian here, and yes, chips are a Halloween staple. They’re not what you want to get as a kid, they take up so much space in your candy bag.
Star of the video: Chris’s rant on toasters.
I don’t think I’ve ever gotten chips from trick or treating.
The plain potato chips are best in ranch or onion dip. Yum.
This confused me as well. Maybe its more of a Canadian thing?
yes I was gonna reply this same thing. I buy plain chips just for dips!!!
@@1Kelly1481 probably is. I’m canadian and it’s like a thing here. You get a big box of like tiny individual packages of chips in like a bunch of flavours and give them out
Here in the midwest we use top the tater with plain potatoe chips, specifically ruffles
Some people by me (US) do chips or one house by me did juice boxes a few years ago. Not super common but it happens. I see more pretzels & cheese balls than chips.
Chris: That's very tik tok.
Rachel: What's very tik tok?
Chris: I don't know, you? 😂🤣
"Christopher don't eat raw dough" sent me!!😂😂😂😂
Plugging your nose stops your sense of taste when eating, so you may just be stopping your taste aswell when you eat those skittles.
That's why when something tastes bad you eat it plugging your nose!
The first recipe reminds me of "Christmas Crack", which uses saltine crackers instead of chips. I add peanut butter to mine and it tastes magical! Instead of adding chocolate chips on top, I totally thought you were going to add mini sized chocolate bars and melt them down in the overn! That, or M&MS, would have been so yummy!
That stuff is bomb! 👍
I was thinking the same thing. I love crack... christmas crack. My mom is my crack supplier. Lmao
christmas crack is my job every year. So good.
I've always called that "Saltine toffee." I normally put walnuts with mine
That’s basically American matzoh brittle, right?
Getting chips while trick or treating must be a Canadian thing.
I’m from Pennsylvania, USA, & snack bags of chips, cheese balls, and pretzels are a staple for trick or treating. This is the first time I’ve actually heard it happening somewhere else! It’s always a nice ~palate cleanser~ in between the candy lol
Christopher always makes the best cameos in videos!!
Hope you guys have a great Halloween. At least enjoy the weather before all the ❄️ comes on Monday! 🇨🇦
Loving your look today! Also, this channel is one of my top favorites!! I absolutely love the vibe and I always get so excited when I see it pop up in my notifications. Also, thanks for opening up on your other channel and know that we are all rooting for you and your mental health and praying for your little chunk to have a easy surgery and a quick recovery. It always seems like it is so much harder for moms to watch their child go through anything painful. I always hate when my babies get hurt or are sick and I have no control over it. Hope you have a safe & happy Halloween!
If you have any left, definitely try having a piece of candy corn and salted peanuts at the same time. Tastes exactly like a payday😋
Was not a candy corn fan before I knew about this and now I can’t get enough🤗
Chris ranting about toaster settings has restored my faith in humanity😂😂
Did you notice Christopher’s shirt had a green, blue, and red character (like the skittles popcorn!)😂
I was hoping someone else would notice 😂
@@Emily_Sun00 😂
My favorite leftover "hack" is to put Reese's cups between either layers of chcocolate chip cookie dough or with cookie dough on the bottom and brownie mix on the top.
alternate title: Rachel and Chris analyze the flavor of Skittles for 10 minutes
Your hair looks so amazing that it is distracting 😂 i just cannot focus on what you are saying anymore 😂😂❤ (i want that kind of hair)
The first recipe I’ve done with saltine crackers as the base! We used to make it weekly lol the chips sounds like a great idea.
We do it for Passover with Matzah, lol.
yes,my aunt makes this on Christmas with saltines and she calls it crack candy or something like that. she actually says it is super easy to make and she uses a crockpot. all I know is its freaking delicious!
I love how chris just came in to school the 30% of commenters from last weeks video with the bonus of treats 👻😅
Rachel- “grape is the worst flavor”
Me stuffing grape big league chew down the hatch 👁👄👁
Not a huge grape person but the grape big league chew hits different, you just pulled that out of my childhood memories 😂
@@juliehubley4702 right?! Def the best big league chew flavor 😂
Hi Rachel, love you ! I’m a pastry chef and simple fix for this and any future caramels, the recipe method was wrong, not you hunny. Make a dry caramel and then when you’ve achieved the colour you want add butter and whisk. This allows the butter fats to properly emulsify into the sugar without the milk fats separating, this will give you a beautiful silky caramel. Hope you see this and it helps ❤️
thank you for being a bright part of my day Rachel. this week has been terrible and your videos have been helping me not cry the whole time... thank you.
Hoenstly I would love to see a video of Rachel and Christopher’s top five recipes each, also it might be because I need recipe ideas but i do trust them to recommend tasty recipes
She has 3 children to take care of one of which Is a baby and 2 TH-cam channels in which she’s constantly posts good content weekly wow that’s just amazing good job Rachel!!
Love how Chris goes along with your very obvious hints ❤️
I don't think I've ever gotten chips when I've trick or treated. Is that a thing?
Thank you! Was looking for this comment! I've never gotten chips of any kind trick or treating
I’ve gotten pretzels a few times
I was about to comment this ahha ive never gotten chips trick or treating
Yup! Been a few years but we gave it out too.
I've lived in California, Nevada and Montana, and I have NEVER ONCE gotten a bag of chips for Halloween, and neither have my kids. By the way, I still love plain potato chips, even with all the other fancy flavors!!
10:40 Chris DEADASS walked into frame just to roast you about those skittles 💀😭🤣
I love that even though I cant hang with friends rn, I still have Rach to hang out with every saturday
I honestly loved the video (even though trick or treating is not a thing over here) but Science with Chris was my favourite part. I have wondered so often about this and love that he timed it with hypothesise and experiments!
I'm so happy to see you again! Also, it's totally fine if you are struggling. This pandemic is really hard on everyone and I want you to prioritize taking care of yourself and doing what makes you happy! 💞
Can we acknowledge that Rachel isn't a normal mom...she's a cool mom
I'm a week late from you posting this video but you have no idea how much better you're making me feel, thank you so so so much 💜
I’m so anxious these days and your videos are my little safe place, thank you ❤️
The curtain bangs look AMAZING 😍😍
I love you and Chris's relationship! I also love that the hockey players on his shirt matched the skittle popcorn!
Definitely uplifted my spirits today. Happy Halloween 🎃 Rachel to you and Chris!🌈
yes I agree with Christopher..about the toaster, makes sense! the first recipe ive made with saltine crackers instead of chips, I make it at Christmas time for gifts. great video as always
I always love all her outfits she has such a good sense of style
Thanks a lot you guys. I was in a really bad mood and watching this cheered me up immensely. You two have such a great chemistry and vibe together that one cannot help but smile. :-)
i always got my halloween candy to myself as a kid, it was a free for all but i still always had candy by the next halloween, honestly i think that it helps kids with control when they are given it, bc if they don't get a chance at having control themselves they never learn, and i'm not trying to be rude in any way or say anything about your parenting bc i think that your an amazing mom, but i just wanted to put this out there, sending love to you and your family❤
You should do more of this! It was really great!! 😍😍😍
This is such a great idea as I've got a ton of unused candy
22:03 rachel: “christopher dont eat raw dough!!”
me: *eating raw dough of absolutely every baked good me and my family do* 👁👄👁
"I don't know, you are" is the best response ever
You two are the absolute cutest to watch together. 🥰❤️
*sigh* where’s my favourite, caramel apple lollipops with the green wrapper!! Also, I really admire Chris and yours relationships, it seems so genuine. I hope for that one day❤️
I'm sooo glad i somehow ended up watching one of your video's and now I can't stop. 🌻🌻🌻🌻💙💙💙you create the best content!!!
Please let us take a moment to appreciate Rachel’s editing which is sooo good in every single video.
(Also did anyone else notice how pretty Rachel looks here? Obviously she looks always amazing but it’s probably the new hair. It looks so good on her.)
A round of applause for Chris, the 2020 Bill Nye we didn't know we needed! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I've always started my toaster at the level I prefer and turn it down after the first use because the coils are already heated at that point.
I really appreciate the editing its sooo good and extra and I love it
I agree what is the point of plain potato chips , my favorite is dill pickle chips and i love them on a tuna fish sandwich. I love these food videos
What is this “leftover candy” you speak of?
Rachel, I was with you regarding grape being the grossest flavor - but you lost me with the candy corn, that stuff is just nasty. BTW, did you know the candy corn is designed to stack up and look like a cob of corn? Talk about mind blown 🤯. Love you guys.
I’ve made a similar thing to the chocolate toffee chip thing but used saltine crackers. Delish.
It's really fun to watch you experiment with all the recipes you find. I had to cut out a lot of experimenting, baking and other cooking for health reasons. It would be really interesting to see the effects the recipes you find have on your blood sugar using a continuous glucose monitor (if you can get them where you are).
Another classic Chris t-shirt: NES Ice Hockey. I loved that game as a kid. I always liked the tall, skinny, fast guys.
That color looks amazing on you!!
Canadians give out chips on Halloween?! Bagged milk and now Halloween chips?!
Do other countries not do that? I always get tons of chips for Halloween but I live in Canada so I guess it might be a Canada thing.
@@rin-ez3pr I've never gotten chips in the U.S. It'd be a nice break from the candy, but also takes up a lot of room in the bag
@@rin-ez3pr they don’t give out crisp or chips as you call them here in England either!
For the record, bagged milk is not a thing in all provinces in Canada. I grew up in Newfoundland and milk came in 2L cartons. Bags are just weird.
@@ang_131 I had never heard of bagged milk until now. It’s it just the same as regular milk?
I TOTALLY AGREEEE GRAPE IS THE WORST FLAVOUR.....Also u are absoluty STUNNING
Finally, someone understands my love of blue foods!
I look forward to these videos every Saturday 🥰
Your hair looks SO GOOD! I'm really loving those long bangs on you!!!
Yeah!!!! I am so happy you love the How to Train your Dragon movie! It’s my fav and Connor must look soooooo adorable as a baby gronkle😍
I guess sugar crystallized again. You can brush sides of the pan with wet pastry brush to dissolve crystals
Extra fine granulated sugar.
Can we appreciate the editing? It’s so fun!!
Off topic.. but this was my favourite jumper from the haul video ♥️
such a good idea!! Loved this video💓
Chris testing the microwave minute theory is the best thing to happen this year 😂😂
Rachel you are absolutely glowing 🥺 that color top you have on is your color girlie! You’re gorgeous all the time but I just needed to tell you.
Your videos are so fun & entertaining to watch. I get so much joy from watching your content. I hope you all have a Happy Halloween!🎃👻 Sending you so much love🧡🧡
Love that Chris’ shirt perfectly color coordinates with the skittles!
I could watch you two for hours!! Haha! Thank you 😊
I love that you’re doing a scavenger hunt for Halloween. As kids we always did a big scavenger hunt on Easter and it was my favorite. One of the first things we would find would be a new cute dress outfit for church and there would be candy hidden and the final prize would be some kind of fun toy item. I miss doing those. Definitely going to have to do that for my niece since I don’t have kids of my own.
I LOVE your energy in this video! It's so hyper 😆
I love this editing and that colour of sweater on you.
For Halloween this year we made little baggies and set up a table with them at the end of our drive- we had more kids than ever before! It was nice to be able to see them from a safe distance.
Honestly the best thing to do ever is just watch your videos you are the best😍♥️also your hair looks incredible 💯😍
Ahhhh, a baby gronkle!! Sounds really cute!
When it's hot (nearly always here in L.A.!) regular salted chips are great. And the ridgy ones have textural interest. My favorite flavored ones were the haggis and black pepper chips!
the way rachel says "christopher!" whenever he teases her is giving me life
I'm going to hide candy for the kids and have them dress up and find it. Then a movie night with popcorn with candy!
you are so sympathetic. It's a lot of fun to watch you. :) Lots of Greetings from Germany :)
I'm LOVING your hair in this video. Perfect pony with face framing bits. Looks amazing on you. =)
Are there some Dutchies here? The last recipe reminded me of Oliebollen. Some one else?
Never made them btw, but they look a like
I married into a Dutch family. It definitely looks like Oliebollen!
Im dutch and that’s exactly what i thought 🤣 was looking for this comment
Oliebollen with candy.. sounds so wrong. But who knows, perhaps I'll give it a try this year at oud&nieuw
@@christina9351 I agree, I love Oliebollen with krenten? (?😅). Maybe give this a try
Totally agree! Throw in that black licorice comment and you have Dutch comfort food at it's best!
Hi Rachel and Chris! I learned in school that your sense of smell and taste are connected and interdependent. We learned this by doing an experiment with starburst. Ever wonder why food doesn’t have much taste when you have a cold? Love watching your videos!
Editing Rach’s game is strong!
I do the chip toffee treats with saltine crackers for Christmas and it always works well! Usually you can melt your butter, then add the sugar and cook it for about 5 mins, no stirring needed!
Just hanging in the kitchen starting my Christmas baking and realised why I was so intrigued by the potato chip recipe.... It's Christmas Crack, but with chips instead of saltines. Since I LOVE chips, I'll be trying that too.
We are in NL, where cases are very low and we currently have zero community spread, so Halloween was a go! The kids were soooooo excited.
Candy corn and peanuts so yummy!!
I make spanish tortilla with left over potato chips! It's quite nice!
I love how the new hair style looks on you!!!
