 Hey everyone, Santa Shade Bear here and I've got over here beside me My little helper for tonight. We're gonna make some candy. I've seen this on a YouTube channel called come sit at my table So it's not my recipe never made this before But it looked like it's pretty easy very little ingredients. So let's give it a shot I am gonna substitute one thing from what he did, but It should be alright So that's a good thing about a recipe you make it your own right momma. Yeah If you saw the last video we're still laughing about that many hours later Stick around let's make some Christmas candy guys. So what we've got here. Here's the ingredients right here Now the recipe calls for well He used graham crackers and he said you can use Ritz crackers and But I'm not much on crackers and chocolate, which I suppose you could probably use Pretzels yeah, if you wanted in the bottom. We're gonna use vanilla wafers. We're gonna try that We've got two Hershey bars here. These are the big bars. These are the four and a half ounce Well 4.4 ounce He had just regular Regular chocolate bars. I suppose you can use just melted chocolate if you wanted But we got two of these We got two sticks of butter. We got three tablespoons of water and We have one cup of sugar. That's it for the ingredients guys I've never made this before so it could be a catastrophe But we're gonna start by lining this Pan we've got here. This is a glass pan. I don't know what it is. What is that? What size is it mama? Okay, well, so it's just like it's a glass baking dish like a cake size so whatever that would be So we're gonna use that but we're gonna line it with some Reynolds wrap and we're gonna spray it so Let me get some spray and we're gonna line this up and get ready for the next step So we figured We will Want to get that pooped in We're going to have some early Christmas candy since we have an early Christmas present over there underneath the tree Monkeys over here laughing So But let's go ahead and get this line Bracken you could use parchment paper or wax paper too if you wanted I guess it's kind of like a Christmas crack Tight candy Because you you cut it up So They're calling it a toffee always thought toffee was Always thought toffee was like soft but So anyway And he says spray it down, but don't overdo it because you don't want your crackers or wafers or whatever you're using Vanilla wafer cookies would probably be good too. Yeah, that would be good And so we're just going to because you don't want it laying in this stuff and getting soggy. So just Something like that That should be good. All right Now we're going to take our wafers or graham crackers. He used graham crackers Which I guess would be all right I'm not exactly sure what this recipe calls for because he said you can use rich crackers You can use saltines whatever No, but you like we figured well since you can substitute let's use Some vanilla wafers in here And I am making one mella vahessa over here Uh-huh and it looks like this is a what is this? I don't have my glasses. Where are my glasses? I haven't seen your glasses all their way over there They're on the hutch So just a second. I'll tell you But he used what like one and a half sleeves or something Of graham crackers. Yeah All right, this is a 10 ounce which is 300 grams And this is what we've got left over So I think what I'm going to do see you can with these But I seen him doing that and I thought oh, I know what I'd like to try that with Pretzels, I guess would be all right in the bottom here too I don't know if you could crack them like If they're pretzels they they'll break But he kind of cuts his though. Okay, so that's our first step now. I'll get get you ready For the next step as soon as I get monkey to clean this off for me Hi, hey, hang on guys. I gotta get a pan. I forgot to get a pan out Okay, now we're going to go ahead and put our butter in We're just going to put this on the level we're going to let the butter melt Before we put the sugar in so we're going to put the butter And the water in And we're going to get that melted down Like I said, he used regular bars of chocolate on his he used four bars But he said he normally uses three but he used four So these two are probably going to be enough But let's go ahead and we're going to get this melted down. It'll take a few minutes But like he said, don't go too high because you don't want it to burn So I'm going to melt it on low. It's already starting to melt Once this gets melted, we're going to stir it and add the sugar and we're going to keep stirring it until It's ready. Now how he described it He actually showed it didn't he? Yeah Two pennies You know like a new penny and an old penny. He he said you want the color About the color of an old copper penny So That's what we're going to do. But first let's get this melted down Then we're going to add the sugar and that's going to be I guess our toffee, right? Yeah, I thought toffee was Because it's going to be crunchy Well, it is kind of like Toffee No, okay Well monkey says it is kind of so Here we go. Let's let this get It won't take that long. We'll get this melted down And then we're going to add the sugar and we're going to start cooking Okay, our butter's melted now. We're going to add our sugar And he said To kind of bring it up to a boil turn it up a little bit and then we'll turn it down And we're going to cook it and it takes a little while Because it's going to get thick So like I said, he used four Regular sized Hershey bars, which they're one and a half ounces And we got two of those. They're 4.4 ounces each So I'm thinking maybe one and a half of those would do it But we're going to just keep cooking this I don't want to go like I said, I've never made this stuff before So I want to be real careful Now he's got a couple of them one he did like a year ago last year or whatever And um, he didn't have anything on the bottom. He just dumped this in and then chocolate on top of it And he was using a One of those rubber spatulas, but on this one that he did this year He said he used a metal spoon. It seemed to work better So you're going to want to constantly keep stirring this And I'll turn you back on when it's almost ready to pour Okay guys, I think we're pretty well there. It doesn't look like an old penny But it is thickening up. See it's pulling away from the pan So let's get you over here now. He said it takes about seven minutes, but He was on a gas stove top too and ours is electric. So that that will make the difference Now we need to pour this over top of this And don't scrape the bottom of the pan In case there's any burnt parts in it And I remember my grandmother telling me that on a When she was making some kind of candy one time. I was just a little but I remember her saying Because I said you want to scrape that out. She said no, you don't want to scrape this out And so it should start setting up pretty quick All right, so Because as you can see in the bottom of the pan how brown that is you don't want that stuff in there so But I know there's going to be Professional candy makers out there. You got to have a thermometer. Well, maybe you should but I don't have one. So I'm doing it this way And you don't You just want it laying on top. You don't want to push it down in You just want it laying on top to melt That's right about one and a half of these I guess it doesn't really matter how much chocolate you put on doesn't moment No Oh, yeah, did you hear that now we're going to cover this What the hell right we're going to cover this and um Whoa that went in that's all right And we're just going to let this chocolate melt and then we're going to come back with our spoon and smooth it over I'm just going to use a cake pan to cover this up He said it was about three minutes. So but you know just until your chocolate's melted Don't ever have monkey melt chocolate for you because she actually tries to get it To where it melts before she can start stirring at her munk Last year she had kind of a catastrophe This has been an ongoing joke all year. All right, we'll be back with you. Okay, so it's been three minutes I'm just going to remove that now. We're just going to oh, yeah, look at mama. Mm-hmm mama already Got into the leftover chocolate so we're just going to spread this around And try not to push it down into the toffee And then once we get this done, we're going to put it in the fridge I I don't know how long I'll check his video and see but I think you know, I mean it's just got to set up But you're supposed to just like crack it. I think I may try to um Like cut it in squares or something Yeah, just like that Yeah So technically about one and a half bars. So he's right about three to four bars It was just about right for this. So if you're using the big bars like we just used Um about one and a half There we go. Now We are going to put it in the fridge for I think he said 15 to 20 minutes It's just got to set up. I mean, you know, it doesn't really matter because you're going to break it up Anyway, or cut it up or whatever This first time I ever made this stuff so I've heard a christmas crack before. I don't know if this is considered a christmas crack but All right, there we go. Now, this is mine. So All right, I'm going to put this in the fridge and I'll come back with you. I'll let you know How long when we come back how long about how long we let ours go Okay, guys, so it's been about an hour and 15 minutes Just go until the chocolate sets up and you should be good enough Here's what it is. A lot of people just break it up. I was telling her I seen my aunt one time do something. I don't know if it was peanut brittle, but she just lifted it up About a foot off the counter dropped it and It I don't know if it was this stuff or what but I'm just gonna I'm just going to cut a couple squares right now Oh Monkey geese, is that ready yet? Yes All right, well there it is now. Let's get monkey to try this She's got her festive hat on Here you go grab you a piece of that monk. We have to dinky dog Oh All right, we always dinky dog. It's always here. I'll give you the big piece. All right I guess I'm gonna come around here. We're going to dinky don't so Dinky don't and there we go Wow Did you hear that vanilla wafers kick butt? Oh my gosh that guy wasn't lying Going to like you or something Anyway, yeah, he said it was good, but like I said, he used graham crackers Wow These are delicious. Oh, you guys got to try that. Wow, that's really good. Oh, yeah Make it again next year. Oh, yeah, it's not real hard No, no, it's just right. No, I don't know like I said, I've never made this never had it with graham crackers or Ritz crackers I've got enough to make some more So I might make some for with ritz crackers for her, but I think the wafers I like the wafers. Yeah, I mean because you know, it's got that like cream in the middle Excuse me that you can taste right So, yeah, good. Well, like I said, um And you don't have to put that much chocolate. I mean there there's you know, like seven ounces of chocolate on there So almost a half a pound of chocolate. So it'll take longer to set up, but You know, just till it sets up. It's fine Yeah, very good. You eat that already Very good very very good Here She checked her blood and it was 114. She's like, oh, I don't need any insulin.
