Completely agree. Claire's version of a candy bar. Claire's version of the perfect chip snack. Claire's version of the perfect pastry. 100% - Include Chris in some way because he's awesome. Put Brad in a conference room with a tape recorder and have him go on about what's wrong with her creations.
I was too, but in the back of my mind I was thinking this all sounds vaguely familiar did Brad tell this story in an episode of it's alive or something? LOL
They totally need to do a prank episode where they have everyone try the original product and then Claire gives them the original at the end, claiming she made it, and see if anyone notices a difference or comments on it
It's okay we're just going to take away your citizenship, and now you can go to Canada. At least you don't have to worry about Trump and the elections anymore. Glass half empty.

This is so weird in the UK a “Milky Way” is blue package with only nougat whereas the caramel nougat or “Milky Way” in this video/US is called “Mars” bar in the UK. Yet they’re all under the same “Mars” company ?!?!?!
The Milky Way in the us is a mars bar in uk. What americans call three musketeers is what you call Milky Way. What Americans call a mars bar is toasted almonds and nougat. They are all made by the same company, mars bars. I know. Very confusing.
I remember I bought Snickers after watching her make Snickers. And now I'm real tempted to eat MIlky Way 😅. It's happened to me with the chips ones too. And of course I wanted Krispy Kreme after she made those. I think it's just because she describes each snack food in so much detail that it makes me want to like go confirm if they still taste how I think they taste...
That's why he's more like Claire's brother, instead of people's original version of having them the mom and dad of the BA test kitchen. "Half Sour" isn't exactly a compliment. He always does stuff like this when Claire does a Gourmet Makes, pointing out it isn't quite right, needs to be changed, whatever. That's sibling stuff to be needling her like that.
@@recoil53 Yeah that's what I like about them. Brad gives credit where it's due but he doesn't coddle Claire. He knows Claire's capabilities are more than that. But he also knows when to stop. When Claire's thoroughly exhausted he just says she's done her best and that's good enough.
i literally love everyone in the test kitchen. like brad comes in i’m like “omg i love brad!” chris comes in i’m like “omg i love chris!” gaby comes in i’m like “omg i love gaby!” delaney comes in i’m like “omg i love delaney!”
Chris: "The nougat is perfect." Gaby: "You don't have to change anything about the nougat." Claire: "I trust Chris and Gaby but I'm going to make a whole new nougat anyway."
The last 20 seconds where Brad is trying to get everyone to have a piece of caramel apple and everyone is saying no, that was a golden retriever trying to play and everyone saying no. I was so sad, like com'ere buddy, I got you.
After watching nearly all these, I really feel that Claire should be "rewarded" with an episode in which she takes her favorite candy-bar-making flavors, techniques, and/or ingredients, and combines to make a "Claire Bar" ... it should be rich, satisfying, and the envy of every other bar she's reproduced. ;)
I want her to make a candy bar based on chocolate eclairs and call it Chocolatey Claire Bar. Just because puns. Also a Clairamel Candy. Theres just so many opportunities with her name.
For gourmet makes there needs to be a person where their only job is to sit next to Claire and tell her how shes doing really good and keeping her upbeat.
Looks like she loves her job. Her frustration is part of wanting perfection. So many techniques, so much learning... Anyone who loves cooking would enjoy it, let alone a professional chef. And it's not like this is an everyday thing. But it's nice to see your concern. 🖤
Austin G No joke, I’ve become a lot more chill and confident in the kitchen (and life?) since watching this series, just by watching professionals screw up and then recover. I don’t feel so much pressure to get things right the first time, or worry that screwing up means I’m a terrible cook and should give up.
@@jo_magpie Get a mold to make a segment. Make several chocolate segments. glue them together with melted chocolate. Seems like it would be easy compared to a lot of other projects she has made.
Ruxinator I was going to say that because the Andromeda galaxy is in the shape of a question mark, but then I thought that statement might be interpreted as kinda mean 😂
i would love to see claire make a “perfect” candy bar, like not based on anything, just creating a candy bar that she deems perfect yknow?
Elisabeth Lüder the ba favourite -ask what ppl want
it is not going to have any tempered choc i know that much =D

They can call it BA's Best Candy Bar.

Also Claire: "Let's show this to Brad!"
Totally accurate

Laughed so hard at this 😂

Brittany Rutland it would kinda be perfect for April fools day!
Yes
You can taste it when a food is loaded with chemicals and artificial chocolate.
they'll def be able to tell
They aren’t stupid Lmao no way anyone would fall for that just based on look alone
Claire unnecessarily carrying away all of the product in one go is becoming my favorite part of these.
So we accidentally called it 'Milky Bar' in the title. Thankfully only 46,404 people noticed.
Hey i think u accidentally called them milky bars
I legitimately did NOT notice until I hit up the comment section and saw the 46, 404 comments before mine!
to honor this can we have Claire make Milky Bars in the next episode
It popped up in my phone's notifications and I was very confused as to what a milky bar was

True friendship
His stories are genuinely funny
Hes gonna be an old dad... Life is getting him ready for the long haul

the amount of brad and claire interaction in this video makes me feel very blessed
Chris is Claire's supportive older brother and Brad is her annoying younger brother.
rhoda is her older sister who is off at college but gives claire much needed advice a lot
