Ro: Hey guys, it’s Ro! Welcome to another Nerdy Nummies!
Ro: Today we are gonna be making something from Breaking Bad in honor of the Season
Ro: Finale, and I’ve got my buddy Josh here to help me out.
Josh: How’s it going!?
Ro: He’s super cool, we met at VidCon and I knew he was a breaking bad enthusiast!
Ro: Because he has a whole, like, cosplay. Josh: We have our hats, our shirts.
Ro: Yeah, he brought these Heisenberg hats, and this awesome shirt!
Ro: So cool, it combines the 2 characters, Jesse and Walt, and…
Josh: Los Pollos Hermanos! Ro: Ooooh! Berk-berk!
Josh: Chicken dance.
Ro: Yeah, we got tons of props, I like these ones too, they’re so cute! Where
Ro: did you find these ones? Josh: They were online. But, I love our little Heisenberg
Josh: and our little Jesse. Jesse’s even beat up. Because he, fun fact, is the
Josh: 3rd most beat up character on television. Ro: Really? Josh: Yeah.
Ro: Oh poor guy!
Ro: Jesse, you did the wrong chemical compound, gosh, can’t you even cook!?!
Ro: Let’s get cooking!
Ro: The things you will need, will be: Baking spray, 2 cups of regular sugar, 3/4 cups
Ro: of light corn syrup, the clear stuff. 1/2 a cup of water, 2 tablespoons of
Ro: peppermint extract, you can use any kind of extract that you want that’s clear,
Ro: but I love peppermint, so I’m gonna be making peppermint glass candy, and
Ro: blue gel food coloring. And little snack pack baggies.
Josh: We’ll need a candy thermometer, a paint brush, preferably with no paint on it.
Ro: Yeah. Josh: Uh, we’re gonna bring down the hammer, with our hammer, and we need a aluminum foil
Josh: and a tray.
Ro: Let’s put it all together!
Ro: Before we start cooking our candy, the first thing that we’re going to do is take
Ro: 1 piece of aluminum foil and put it over our cookie sheet, and then we’re
Ro: gonna spray down the top with some baking spray.
Ro: Ooh hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Ro: Now we’re gonna take all these ingredients and head over to the stove.
Ro: And start cooking!
Josh: Alright, now we’re in the kitchen, we got our safety gear on, safety first.
Ro: Yeah, for that toxic peppermint fumes!
Josh: You don’t want to breathe that. Ro: No, it’s pretty intense!
Josh: So, what are we gonna do now?
Ro: You’re gonna take a medium saucepan and combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water,
Ro: and you’re gonna stir until it’s all melted!
Josh: Now, once you're done dissolving the sugar, you're gonna want to bring it to a boil, at 285 degrees.
Ro: You can also take your little wet pastry brush, go around the sides of the pan while
Ro: it’s boiling, and make sure all the sugar is in the middle and not sticking
Ro: to the sides, so it won’t crystalize! Yeah, because we don’t want rock candy!
Ro: We want glass candy! Josh: Pure glass. Ro: Pure glass, respect the chemistry!
Josh: Once it hits the right temperature you’re gonna want to add your peppermint oil
Josh: extract. Ro: Mmmmmm! And, 1 drop of the blue food coloring.
Josh: Smells a lot like peppermint in here.
Ro: Yeah! And then you’re gonna mix it all together, and once the color is all mixed
Ro: and it’s smelling super peppermint-y, you’re gonna pour it onto our baking sheet.
Ro: Perfect! Ready for peppermint!
Ro: Josh, huggggccchhhhh, I am your secret sister. Josh: Huh! Ro: Huggccchhhh!
Josh: Spoiler alert! Ro: Spoiler!
Ro: Once you’ve poured all your liquid glass candy into the pan, we’re just gonna
Ro: let it sit for about 30 minutes to harden.
Ro: This is so peppermint-y my eyes are burning!
Josh: Thank God I have this mask on!
Ro: Yeah, he’s got the cool mask, I got the uh-oh mask.
Ro: Ding! Our glass candy is done! We just took it out of the pan, so it’s just on
Ro: top of the aluminum foil, and we let the liquid sit out for about 30 minutes
Ro: so that it would harden. And now I’m gonna let Josh do the honors.
Ro: Take a hammer or anything, and just crack that glass candy apart!
Ro: Are you ready? Josh: I am ready.
Ro: Nice!
Josh: Oh! Ro: Keep going, it’s OK!
Ro: Oh my gosh! We’re losing so much profits! They’re flying off the table!
Josh: Our meth!
Ro: We’re horrible at this!
Ro: Now you’re gonna take your little snack baggies and scoop a bunch of the broken
Ro: glass candy into these little guys. So you can share with your friends!
Josh: All your friends, especially on the street corners.
Ro: Little snacks for everyone!
Ro: You’re a pretty good chemist, I must say, look how pure this is, look at how
Ro: blue this is. Josh; I know, we got a 99.1% purity level going on in here.
Ro: I was really good in chemistry class, I don’t want to brag or anything, but…
Ro: To my stoichiometry. I can convert a mole like nobody’s business!
Ro: Ta-da! Here is our Peppermint Glass Candy, it smells so good in here!
Josh: I know, it does! Ro: It smells like peppermint land!
Ro: Thanks again Josh for being here, I’ll put his links down below. Josh: No problem!
Ro: I had a lot of fun. Josh: I did too! Ro: Thanks for cooking with me!
Ro: Alright, I hope you guys enjoy the season finale of Breaking Bad!
Ro: And you got all these little treat ideas! For if you want to have a little party to do it!
Ro: Thanks you guys, if you have any ideas for any other Nerdy Nummies, please let me
