(upbeat intro music)
- This is Jasmine and today
we're recreating Choco Tacos- but for dogs!
(upbeat music)
And get this, we have a whole group of puppies
from Rancho Coastal Humane Society today
stopping by to try some Choco Tacos.
And we're turning part of the bakery into a high school!
It's gonna be a lot of work,
so I'm gonna need some help from some very special pups.
This is Apollo
and this here is Brownie.
If you love dogs as much as I do,
hit that subscribe button, turn on notifications,
hit that like button here for Brownie.
So I wanna do a recreation.
- Okay.
- You might be able to guess.
So it's one of the favorite items growing up.
And even still, now.
You get it in the cafeteria.
It's a Taco, but not a Taco.
(buzzer)
- Does it have chocolate?
- Are you-? That was good!
You know where I'm going with this?
Let me show you here.
Choco Taco, I mean...
- Are we gonna eat these?
- Well, yeah, but it's a project.
- Oh.
We're gonna have to actually...
(chuckles)
You can't go straight to the eating.
We are gonna dissect it.
So the very first obvious thing, problem on here is what?
- Chocolate.
- Chocolate. Dogs cannot have chocolate.
It has theobromine in it.
It really messes up their system.
We have carob.
- Right.
- So dogs can have it.
So we can work around that.
- Yep, easy.
- Let's show everyone.
Look how good the picture looks versus the item.
It looks horrible.
- I bet it still tastes good.
- Yes, it does still taste good.
(both laugh)
Do you work for Chocolate Taco?
- Are you hiring?
(laughing)
- No, no, you work for the Dog Bakery.
- Yes.
- Should we cut it? Let's cut it.
Cause if we break it, it's gonna fall into pieces.
- All right.
- Let's get a clean cut.
Okay.
What are you doing?
- Clean cut, it's rounded.
- Let me jump in here real quick
and tell you why it's so important
we figure out how to make these Choco Tacos
because tomorrow will be the first day
that these puppies right here are available for adoption.
So I only have today to show them how much they're loved.
I'm talking lunch table, lunch ladies, glee club.
(dog howls)
(laughs)
Okay, maybe not that.
The good news is this isn't the first time
I've transformed the Dog Bakery
to help dogs in need.
We recreated classic candies
and made an entire trick or treat neighborhood.
We've converted it into a donut shop.
We've done it all!
But that's why it's so important
that we figure out how to recreate these Choco Tacos.
- That's pretty good.
- I can't even get a clean cut.
You know what that tells me though?
The shell is not really crispy, it's kind of soggy, yeah.
Actually I don't think there's anything else in there
other than just chocolate and ice cream.
The first ingredient actually isn't sugar.
It's nonfat milk, then sugar, then coconut oil.
Oh, and then we got a bunch of crap.
Corn syrup.
- Okay, stop reading, I don't wanna hear it.
- Corn syrup solids, like the fact that you do
corn syrup and then corn syrup solids.
Maybe they're not peanuts.
(buzzer)
Maybe they're corn syrup solids.
What is that even?
We can make this much better.
(applause)
- Yeah, definitely.
- And for dogs and healthy.
- Yeah.
- I think the one thing I will do is work on the shell
- Okay.
- And really perfect that recipe because I want a crunchy
Taco.
Dogs don't like a soggy mess.
If I asked my dog to here, let me see this.
If I asked my dog
And Coby's hanging out with me right now.
Coby, you like a crunchy or soft Taco?
- (Pretending to be Coby) I don't want no soggy Taco.
- (normal voice) Yeah. Good boy.
Okay. Let's do it.
- Yeah.
- There you go.
- Yeah, I'll go-
Hey! Get out!
I'm going to need that for research.
I already know for
The doggy ice cream base
I'm going to use coconut milk and bananas
but I want to do a quick taste test to see
if it needs any additional flavor.
Yeah. I mean, it tastes pretty good like that coconut and
that banana is sweet.
It, it definitely tastes like melted ice cream
but I also want to make sure I'm thinking like a dog.
I want to elevate the taste profile for a dog even more.
And so I've got an idea of some different ingredients
but first I want to introduce it
to some helpers and see what they think.
- (Game show host) It's time for the game show
that all the dogs love: Choose That Flavor!
You know the rules, folks.
Three flavors, two dogs, one choice.
Our very handsome host, Rocky Danica
Is with our furry contestants, Apollo and Brownie.
First up is Apollo!
(Applause)
Choose that flavor!
- (Rocky) Which one Apollo? Which one?
(ding)
(laughter)
Okay. Anchovies it is.
- (game show host) Next up is Brownie.
Choose that flavor!
(ding)
- (Rocky) Anchovies again!
All right, don't eat all of the ingredients.
(laughter)
That's gross!
You know what?
Actually, I'm just going to make all three flavors
because who knows maybe some of the other dogs
will like some of the other flavors.
So we're going to do the pumpkin in one
peanut butter in one- that would be my favorite, no doubt.
Or sardines.
(sighs)
Sardine Choco Tacos.
(sighs)
I don't have to go too heavy on each of these ingredients.
I just need a little bit in there for a flavor profile.
I will add a little extra pumpkin
because pumpkin so good for dogs, all that fiber.
It's kind of a great equalizer.
I'll tell you what
if your dog is ever having potty problems
put a little pumpkin in their food and it will help a lot.
All right.
A little peanut butter.
I want it.
Oh man.
I want to put a lot
of peanut butter in there, but again
I'm going to go light
especially since a peanut butter is so heavy.
I want to keep this ice cream pretty light and fluffy.
Last but not least.
(laughs)
There's some anchovy juice here.
I'll put that in there.
Look at that.
Oh yummy.
(laughs)
It's going to be so good.
(laughs)
God, being a pet chef is one of the best jobs
in the whole world.
Would you love a job like this?
Would you ever want to be a pet chef?
(upbeat music)
Oh look. Oh look- there's one of the anchovies right there.
(laughs)
We're like Ben and Jerry's: we don't skimp on
the ingredients.
Swimming in the ice cream.
Do you know what I just realized?
Everything is going great
but we don't have a name for a high school
and you've got to have a name for your high school.
That's what makes a good high school.
So what I'm thinking is
Muttville, Dogtowne, Labrador Prep, Barkly.
I like that: Barkley High.
That's a good one.
Awesome. Let me know in the comments down below
what would be like the dog version name of your high school?
- It's going to be so sad to see this go.
We worked so hard on painting this for the donut shop.
We've done so many things in this space
but it looks so good.
(sighs)
I don't want to paint over it.
Joely, what do you think?
Do you want to paint over it?
(wet paint rolling)
- What?
(upbeat music)
- Is going to be the shell.
Now, this is really important to me because not
only do I want to recreate the shell, but I want to
make a better shell for dogs.
I'm going to use a banana, a sweet potato, eggs
I'm not a hundred percent sure about this
but I think I want to add some rice flour.
So I'm going to do about a third of a cup.
I can add a little bit more if we need.
Getting there with my hands,
that's the fastest way to mash it up.
You know, this is a little dry,
and so I think I need more of a fat.
A peanut butter would be really good with that.
And it would just add that natural,
delicious peanut butter flavor.
So peanut butter waffle shell...
Taco shell? Sounds good to me.
Okay. It's time to make the actual waffle cone.
I've got this cookie cutter right here, which I
think will be perfect because if you look at this
if it's folded in half, I mean, it's
it's that exact size.
Also, however, I have puppies coming.
And so I thought we could do a smaller one as
well. Cause that'll make a little mini Choco Taco.
(upbeat music)
Yeah. Okay.
That looks good.
All right.
So
Let's put that on the table.
Roll it over like that.
Let it sit there for a minute.
I'm gonna throw this one in the fridge to let it cool
for a minute, because I want to make sure we have it
but I think this is going to be crispy and delicious.
Okay. While those waffle are setting
I'm going to grab Apollo and Brownie.
I have a good idea for a fun game.
I thought it would be a lot of fun to go around
and let them buy anything that they touch.
And then we'll put it in their backpack.
Anything they can fit in the backpack here,
I'll give it to them.
All right.
What we're going to do here is we're going to set up
a special aisle. We've got all kinds of awesome toys
and we're going to let the dogs just run down this aisle.
We're going to mix it with toys
and treats and all kinds of awesome stuff.
Okay. I got your backpack right here.
Let's go find some stuff to put in it.
Come on my man.
(ding)
Oh yeah, okay!
(ding)
Oh yeah.
Oh great.
All right.
He touched, he touched a few of those.
We'll throw those in there.
(ding)
Oh, you want some traits?
Okay. He wanted three of the doggy donuts.
We get you three doggy donuts right there.
That can be your lunch
What do you want here?
(ding)
Popcorn? Okay, okay.
All right, you want to pick some out for the puppies?
(ding)
Okay. That's a good puppy toy.
That's bigger than the puppies, but all right.
That's fine.
(ding)
Oh, La Croix
(ding)
but for dogs.
Some treats? Okay. Okay.
We've got some good stuff
for the puppies too.
I'd say this is a success.
All right, let's get your backpack
and let's let Brownie go shopping.
Man. This is awesome.
Look at all this stuff.
This is great.
Okay Brownie, are you ready?
Anything you want.
I'll buy it.
And I'll just put it right in your little elephant backpack.
Okay.
It's almost like she doesn't believe
that she can have whatever she wants
because she's never really had it much, you know?
So, okay.
Here you go.
You want a treat?
Sometimes it's about having a lot
of fun running around, having a good time-
if that's what the dog wants to do.
Other times it's about just spending time together.
Right? And enjoying the small things.
We did something special for Brownie.
She really liked these bully sticks.
So we're going to load up her elephant backpack with these
that way she can go home with them.
These will be all hers.
- This is our ice cream,
so we've got our pumpkin and all that turned
out nice-
that pumpkin color.
Peanut butter.
Anchovies.
(upbeat music)
- Got a big anchovie.
- I mean, it does look pretty good.
- It looks good, huh? Try it, try it.
- I bet we could get somebody else to, for sure.
(laughing)
- I bet we get Blake to do it.
- You think so?
- Blake!
- (Blake) What do you want?
(laughing)
Is this the- the ice cream for the Choco Taco?
- Yeah.
You wanna, you wanna try the first one?
- Sure.
- Let's get you- here, let's get you the adult size.
- Ooh! Big time.
(laughing)
- Mm!
- No way. No way.
No.
(laughing)
(gags)
- Oh god.
(laughing)
- Poor Blake.
(upbeat music)
- What are you doing?
- Just showing off the merch.
- What is it?
Oh, these are the shirts?
- (woman) Yeah, here you go.
- Oh!
No, no, no. I haven't seen them.
What is, oh, that's the one.
- Yeah!
So cool.
- Barkly High School Rescue Club.
- Is this one mine?
- Yeah.
So if anybody wants to join our
Barkly High School Rescue Club.
- Whoa. Whoa. Look at that!
People can be a part of the rescue club.
- Exactly!
- When you buy one of these
we're also going to send money to
Rancho Coastal Humane Society to help them out.
- Cool.
- This is so cool.
Three, two, one
- (all three) Go Barkly!
- Comparison time.
Look at this- original versus...
Look at that.
Wow. That's pretty good, huh?
- Yeah. I think ours look way better.
- Way better.
- I mean, look at that.
Which one would you buy?
Okay. The recreation was
a success, but we still have so much to do
with such a little time.
We've got to make all the rest
of the Choco Tacos and finish the cafeteria.
(upbeat techno music)
Choco Tacos are done.
Let's check in with the team to see
if they were able to pull this off.
- Wow! Oh this is so cool.
(upbeat techno music)
- Oh this is really brings me back
to high school late. Look at this vending machine!
This is the best vending machine.
I would definitely
be out of all my change with this vending machine.
Look at this, we have the Dogritos.
Who knows? Maybe we should make Dogritos in the next video.
Let me know what you think.
Oh, look, Sprite and Pepsi,
but instead it's Bite and Pupsi.
I mean, this definitely reminds me of my high school.
Home of the good dog.
It couldn't be any more true.
Whoa and these lunch tables are great.
Oh, maybe I'll get a snack here too, before he goes-
- (chanting) Barkly High! Barkly High! Barkly High!
Bark bark woof!
- Oho yes! That's awesome.
Gosh, this is great guys.
Good work.
- Ah, thank you.
Thank you.
- I know I was pushing you hard.
I didn't know if you could get it down in time.
- It was close.
Close call.
- It was very close.
- Check this out. I got lunch trays.
We're going to get everything out on the lunch line.
I mean, it feels like a lunch, a school lunch line.
Doesn't it? Look, check this out.
I even ordered this.
(chuckles)
I think you're gonna love it.
Look, I'm a true lunch lady with a hairnet.
Well, my hair largely looks the same
(laughing)
but I am wearing a hairnet.
(upbeat 90's music)
- Team?
- Yeah?
- Let's go serve school lunch.
Here we go.
Here we go. Here we go.
(upbeat 90's music)
- (Rocky) You ready for your, your Choco Taco?
Oh look at that!
(upbeat 90's music)
(guitar solo)
(laughing)
- (Rocky) Oh! The puppies are coming!
(90's motivational music)
- You're so tiny.
You don't even know what to do with that yet, huh?
(90's motivational music)
- Overall, I'd say these Choco Tacos are going great.
Apollo and Brownie are loving them.
Even some of the puppies are really getting into these
But we're not done yet.
It's time for school photos.
I can't wait for you to see all their cute little photos.
And then we're going to use those photos to
help them get adopted.
So check this out: it's school photo time.
I'm actually going to make these available to purchase.
And what's awesome is whenever you purchase one
of these shirts, we are going to send some money
to Rancho Coastal Humane Society.
So get one of these, wear it around.
Tell everyone about this video
that all these dogs are available for
adoption and money goes to help dogs in need.
All right.
A dream come true right now.
We're going to do a class photo with a bunch of puppies.
Puppies are just going to start falling
into my lap and we're going to take that class photo.
Okay.
(singing) Puppies!
(upbeat music)
Three, two, one.
(90's instrumental music)
If you live in the area and you want to adopt these puppies,
I will put the link down below for
Rancho Coastal Humane Society.
Also, they have a foster program.
You should check that out.
Fostering dogs and cats will change your life.
It's awesome.
If you want to check out another awesome video
go watch this one right here
or go watch this one right here.
Hi puppies. How many do I have here?
One, two, three, four, five.
Do I have another one down there?
You're all so cute.
Are you falling asleep?
