- Twix. They’ve been at the heart of a debate that goes back more than five decades. Lines have been drawn so intractable that friendships, relationships, even nations have been ruined. Who could forget the Great Twix Battle between the UK and Finland in 1984? No, we’re not speaking of the Left vs. Right debate. We’re talking about the Conflict of Classification that rages to this day. The age old debate: is Twix candy or cookie? Out of respect for those who came before, we will not take a position. Instead, join Claire Saffitz in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she attempts to make a gourmet version of Twix that can hopefully bring peace to this conflict.

"There's no after breakfast dessert. That's inappropriate."
Her MIND
in the USA, cake is breakfast. cereal(bready+dairy+sugar=cake) bananabread(cake) pancakes(cake) muesli+sweet yogurt(more sugar than cake)
@@gabbonoo i am so confused why you commented this and why you're trying to say cereal is cake
@@cian1170 i was saying it has similar nutrients and addictiveness. eating cake for breakfast would seem unhealthy to some but those same people would become desensitised because of impulse, laziness, naming schemes, addiction. They end up thinking subconsciously that steak for breakfast is absurd but banana bread is perfect.
😂 Right? Although considering the amount of sugary pastries *I* eat in the morning, breakfast IS dessert!
@@gabbonoo nobody I know in the US would think banana bread is perfect or even a good idea for breakfast, and that steak is absurd. Steak, amongst many other meats are a staple in american breakfast. Waffle House, Huddle House, IHOP, and every fast food joint that serves breakfast, the most popular meals contain meat.

I'm suddenly remembering the 'Mythbusters' Hindenburg Mystery Ep "These thing's are always catching on fire." Adam Savage.
Claire: *Has a mental breakdown over the chocolate*
Brad: "HOWS THE CHOCOLATE GOIN'?"
kkkkkkk
reminds me of Squidward and Spongebob
she looked so freaking annoyed and devasted...was so fun to watch 🤣🤣🤣
Exactly, this cracked me up. He always shows up at the worse time 😂
@@JQLEEJQ Brad's got a gift. And he's so guileless. He's like a giant Golden Retriever.
You should do an episode where Clair goes to a chocolatier and learns the secret art of chocolate tempering
OMG that's such a fantastic idea! I love this series and I really like Clair however this whole 'tempered chocolate' thing is really starting to rankle me..
c pritch she met sohla which is basically the same thing
She knows how to... it's just an exhausting process. She doesn't like it because it has a high potential to fail her
How to Cook That. 💖 Gahhh. I’d love to see Claire and Ann Reardon!
Could just ask sohla
Rewatching this series makes me realize how much I miss this crew showing up in my feed every week. BA lost some real ones.
And they've all got their own channels now but it's just not the same.
For real. The chemistry was just so fire
Clair getting the dehydrator on her own without asking Brad? That's called growth.
Character development 👌
She did for Doritos too
Isabella Enriquez gay icon
Jim and Pam moment
Isabella Enriquez hahahahaha! Too right
"confidence level is high"
*sees that the video is nearly 40 minutes long*
oh no Claire
LOL I didn't even notice that. I'm praying for you Claire!
I'mglad it wasn't just me lmao
came here to type this exact same thing, lolol
Haven't watched fully and there are definetely gonna be challenges, but longer videos are becoming more popular on RUclips and favorable in the algorithm so it might also be the editors are making longer videos
This was my reaction lmao
"Adam, look, I need to be the person to tell you that every single person here disagrees with you."
And She wasn't lying
And She wasn't lying

that aged perfectly
One of my favorite things about Claire is how honest she is about her feelings.

HOW'S THE TEMPERING CLAIRE
Dayaan Biluno
When making chocolate, I would assume that tempering would be a part of the process.
I cackled at this part, it was AMAZING XD
He truly is a human golden retriever.
The ba kitchen seems like it's a place where it's very CLICKY 😵
It's like Ross asking Arin how his last go of that plant boss in Battle Kid went.
how about BA sends Claire to a chocolatier workshop, for her sanity
I mean... more like preparing her for the insanity when she's back in the test kitchen
Honestly, next time she tempers chocolate, they should send her.
I'm wondering whether that would make it better or just worse
No, it'll make her even more depressed
Yes!
I love that Claire tells people to go away so she can collect herself and not take out her frustrations on other people. It’s honestly great!!!
39:47 "I'm trying to think of actual fun I've had on this show" [that's where they should have spliced in a clip of her shaving the sides of those cookies]
claire clearly spending so much time shaving the cookies so she can avoid tempering the chocolate,,, we stan a procrastinator
Martha Meza mom!?!?
Spazzatura wait _mom_??
Sibling?...is that you?
She’s also doing it for satisfaction to see the straight sides :)

I think we all know that the "classic" American breakfast is just dessert with a different name anyway XD
I hope that Claire gets to someday retire to a beautiful home, on a scenic vista, where she can grate cookies into perfect rectangles all day.
with Brad
Effort. Lol
i'm still laughing
@@effort.4827
He's married, but I hope that it's a Test Kitchen outting.
Effort. Claire is in a relationship, and so is brad. Brad is married and has two kids for God’s sake-
I don't know if I'm putting it correctly but Brad sounds like someone who couldn't be named anything but Brad.
pegah afrasiabi I understand completely
Brads are stereotyped as douchey jocks. This Brad is like a marshmallow.
But this is the Brad I think of when someone says tht name.

I see him as a Jimmy

Claire: "I need to be the person who tell you that everyone disagree with you. I know you're the boss." Well, that aged like a fine wine.
I just found this series and am confused. Can someone explain?
Explain
@@user-rd9xb1yo3v I figured it out. Googled "Bon Appetit why did a bunch of people leave." Apparently there was a scandal involving black face and them actually underpaying their POC employees. =\ The guys she's talking to, "the boss," is the one that was wearing black face (I think). Claire is one of the people who left.
@@leonalearns oooh thanks. That’s crazy
@@user-rd9xb1yo3v it was a 15 year old costume i think he did brown face (it doesn't make it better but i think the whole point was more about the unequal pay and treatment )

"Theres no 3rd day curse"
*sees 20 minutes left*
Oh no
SAME i was like only half the video has passed and all she has left to do is the chocolate... this can't be good
I mean you can't say there's no curse. It's 95% her fault.
Chris M orocco
at the end I'm thinking, "maybe I could make this"
then
"place the cookies in the dehydrator"
I like the awareness that this video brings to left handed people trying to eat twix. I’ve personally have been affected by this, I couldn’t eat twix until the left handed twix came out.
“It’s going weirdly well”
*checks time*

That's exactly what I did at that moment.
At least she said she was afraid.

"Confidence level is pretty high." Minute 3 of 40
- Claire Saffitz 2019
Dude, I thought the same thing
I'm a graduated engineer and working offshore wind turbine technician, and I so fully 100% agree with Claire on left and right making zero sense when considering circular motions.
Want a medal?
Cause your hand or fingers are twisting towards the left or right side of your body. Or think when driving counter clockwise you turn left...clockwise you go right....its really simple
YES!!! Clockwise and counterclockwise I get, but left or right in a circle has never made sense to me. For someone who has been yelled at by a few ex-boyfriends and a grandfather for not understanding “lefty loosey/ righty tighty” when dealing with a circle, it made me unreasonably happy to hear Claire say the same thing.
It makes perfect sense though, imagine you're at a point in the center of a circle, if someone tells you to 'turn to your right' you're always going to be turning clockwise... Hence righty-tighty = clockwise and lefty-loosy = anticlockwise.
I just noticed something about Claire, she talks with her hands so she can’t talk and do a task simultaneously that easily. She usually just stops and focuses on talking. I’m very high
Past episodes: "the chocolate didn't set"
This episode: "the chocolate is setting too quickly!"
There's just no pleasing you, Claire
Omg I love your pfp!!! 😂
There sure is a long line ready to try.

"Do you want to try something disgusting?"
"YES!"
That's why Chris is awesome.
He smelled it very subtly this time.
Claire: "My confidence level's pretty high"
Me: [looks at the 40-minute long video] *Oh no*
I DID THIS EXACT SAME THING OMFG
me too! haha
Same!!!
😂 Same
Lololol I said the same thing
It makes me sad that claire sometimes seems like she doesn't enjoy doing these, I know the majority of us would prefer she do something she likes. You can tell she's a good soul. I love BA vids cos the sense of camaraderie in the kitchen is super homely, I love when the others are in gourmet makes and Claire looks happier when too
Hi, I'm Morgan, I'm 7 years old. I love your show. I have a suggestion for your gourmet makes. You should do a show on Pez candy. Thank you!
Just been reminded just how much I used to love Pez. It's been too long. 😂
@8:15 "I'm feeling really good about this one!"

Be strong Claire.
Lmao I was thinking the same thing.

Hahahah i always check the time when she says she’s feeling confident
"At this point they make me say this..."
BLINK TWICE if you need saving!
😰
So... reading the ingredients is not Claire's favorite part? 😕
Lol right 💀 it reminded me of that Miley episode of black mirror
THIS WHOLE SHOW IS A LIE!!!
The ba kitchen seems like it's a place where it's very CLICKY 😵
Right in the beginning of video, we see dissonance already. It's like when Disney reveals the obvious villain at the start of the movie.
My favorite part of BA test kitchen stuff - and I mean I know of course it's cut for content, but still - is that the people are so fantastically skilled at taking and giving critique. There's a really collegial give and take, and yeah, sometimes someone's bummed out 'cuz they thought they'd nailed something and someone else says they didn't, but the sense of positive collaboration is really wholesome.
Claire: having a sad moment
Vacuum sealer: VVVVVVRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

She's like "no! What kind of monster has after breakfast dessert?!"
@@patriciaburgos8540 It's funny to me because so much of breakfast IS dessert. Donuts, pancakes, muffins, you can put chocolate in all kinds of things like croissants and granola bars and milk
@@darkphoenix2 That's probably why you can't have after breakfast dessert, it would just be second breakfast
I literally watch the gourmet makes series over and over again in the background because they're so fun, but the real question is:
Can I get Claire's skin care routine? Like the doja cat/khloe kardashian but with Claire?? PLEASE??
She did an interview with Into the Gloss and she talks about her skincare routine there! You can find the interview on their website!

dana caro. I looked at the length and said “oh Claire” too 😂
An easy way to temper chocolate is to add some ( a tablespoon? ) of freeze dried cocoa butter to your chocolate and stir it it.
Wonder if this popped because of the whole drama with Adam
Who else looks at the thumbnails and INSTANTLY checks the video lengths to see the level of frustration and anger Claire is gonna go through? We should make a 'Claire scale' at this point.
Sooo true
Claire: "I'm gonna make a gourmet..."

I really miss this series.
If you liked this video, you may also want to know that pure cocoa is high in polyphenols. This is exciting because polyphenols can suppress bad gut microbes and encourage the growth of good microbes! We need our gut microbiota to be in balance, and polyphenols can help with that!
I enjoyed the sound effects when she was making the dough! Thank you :)

Act1 Scene 1. Enter Claire in mid conversation
"I need to be the person to tell you that every single person here disagrees with you."
Serious Shakespearian level foreshadowing. Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and caramel bubble...
Since when is this show called: "Copying the original"? You're making gourmet, meaning, you're improving on the original!
You're doing a fantastic job, Claire! Don't get too hung up on details! Left and right thumb up!
This is exactly what drives me nuts about this show. It feels like so many episodes consist of her making a SUPERIOR product at some point early on. Then she spends the rest of the episode trying to "tone it down" to match the mediocrity and blandness of the mass-produced thing. Or she'll spend inordinate amounts of time trying to match the look/texture EXACTLY like the original (like how she spent time grating the edges of her shortbread here), i.e. like something that came off of a conveyor belt.
I mean, I get that it's funny to watch her struggle. But I feel like sometimes they make her struggle for the sake of struggle, and it only results in an inferior end product and "recipes" that are of no practical use for a home cook.
@@WastedPo They've got a particular length that they go for in each episode. If Claire arrives at a usable recipe too early they just keep going, trying to match the mass-produced version closer and closer until they have enough footage to edit into a ~40 minute video.
@@WastedPo there are plenty of "gourmet" twix recipes. what makes this show different is she's making the absolute closest product to the original with gourmet ingredients.
@@jessiei6911 I understand. But for me, it limits all that this show can be. If the entire point is to watch a very capable chef "dumb down" the end result to make something indistinguishable from a product extruded from a machine--I mean, that's kind of what we have now.
And don't get me wrong, it's very entertaining. But because of that, the only "angle" this show has is to watch her get exasperated and struggle. And it kind of makes the title of the show misleading.
However, I feel like if they *actually* had her make a gourmet version (like the title implies)--you know, something you'd be delighted to eat if it was offered at a party--then they could have the best of both worlds: (a) Entertain the viewer with the research process and the chemistry she has with her co-hosts. (b) Have a recipe people might be tempted to make.
[By the way, I don't want to come off too strong here. I obviously still love and watch the show the way it is. I just think it could be better. Maybe they could please everyone by having her try to replicate the original exactly and ALSO make a more "homemade/gourmet" version?]
ugh you sound like Chris during the Reese’s episode
Gabby squating to stay out of the frame was the most adorable thing ive seen today😭
