Ro: Hey guys, it’s Ro! Welcome to another Nerdy Nummies! Today I have a very special guest, it’s Eva!
Eva: Hi! Ro: Eva, do you love halloween?
Eva: Oh I love Halloween, oh!
Ro: I am getting so excited, I think it’s one of my favorite holidays!
Eva: Mine too, except this year it has been extremely hard to figure out
Eva: a costume. Ro: Mmmhmm, you’ve been busy! Eva: I have been.
Ro: You’ve been doing all sorts of stuff! She has an amazing YouTube channel,
Ro: I’m gonna put links down below so you should go check it out and say hi to her.
Ro: And today, we are gonna be making some Halloween treats, because
Ro: it is right around the corner!
Ro: To get in the spirit this year, I have been playing the cute little
Ro: Halloween themed RPG Game, Costume Quest 2. So today we are gonna be
Ro: making Frost Bites, Bone-Bones, kinda like bonbons but it’s like a little play
Ro: on words because they have little bones in it. And some Rice Creepies!
Both: Let’s get started!
Ro: Because we are gonna be making so many treats today from scratch, I’m just
Ro: gonna be showing you how to make them one by one.
Ro: We are gonna be making Frost Bites First.
Ro: The things you will need, will be: 2 cups of white melting chocolate,
Ro: a bunch of candy canes, we are gonna crush them up to make about
Ro: 1/2 a cup. 1/2 a teaspoon of peppermint oil, and a few drops of oil based
Ro: Blue food coloring. Remember, you want them to be oil based because we are gonna
Ro: be dying chocolate. You will also need…
Eva: A finger mold. Ro: Mmmmmm! Eva: Some zip lock baggies, and a few hammers.
Both: Let’s put it all together!
Ro: The first thing that we’re gonna do is we’re gonna unwrap all of our
Ro: little candy canes, place them in the plastic baggie, and then crush ‘em up
Ro: with our hammers!
Ro: Lets smash some candy canes! Eva: Let’s do it! Ro: OK! Oh jeez!
Ro: And look at those!
Ro: Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da!
Ro: All of our candy canes are crushed up. Boom! Teamwork! Eva: Wooo! Ro: We did it!
Ro: Now we are gonna take our candy cane and the rest of our ingredients
Ro: over to the stove.
Ro: Turn your stove on to medium heat. Melt the white chocolate using the
Ro: double boiler method. You just have a bowl on top, with a little bit of water
Ro: in the pan below. And as it’s heating up it will heat your bowl.
Ro: Once melted, we’re gonna add our peppermint oil, then add a few drops of
Ro: our blue food coloring oil, and mix together until you reach a desired color.
Ro: Now turn off the stove heat and stir in the crushed candy cane.
Ro: We just took our peppermint bark mixture off the stove and I just
Ro: poured it into a little bowl to make it a little bit more manageable.
Ro: And I love this recipe because, it’s just like Holiday Bark. I don’t know
Ro: if you guys have ever had holiday bark, have you had holiday bark?
Eva: Mmmm! It’s so good! Ro: Yes! It’s just like chocolate with a bunch of crushed
Ro: peppermint, so it’s taking a really classic recipe, and then making
Ro: it creepy! Fwah-wah-wah-wah-wah! Alright.
Ro: So what you’re gonna do is take your spoon and you’re gonna take a little
Ro: scoop, and, we’re just gonna pour it into the trays.
Ro: You’re gonna fill ‘em up to the very tippy top, and you’re gonna do this
Ro: to all of your molds.
Eva: Now that we’ve filled our molds and we’re just gonna put them in the refrigerator
Eva: for about 20-30 minutes to set.
Ro: Yep! And while those are setting, we are gonna make our next creepy treat!
Ro: Now that our Frost Bites are in the fridge, we are gonna be making
Ro: some Creepy Bone-Bones! Which are basically a play on words, they’re coconut
Ro: bonbons, but they have little bones sticking out of them, so they’re…
Eva: So cute! Ro: Super Halloween-y!
Ro: The things you will need, will be: 3 cups of powdered sugar, but we might need
Ro: a little bit more in the future, so just have a little extra handy.
Ro: 2 cups of flake coconut, 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk, 1/2 a stick
Ro: of butter. And then for decoration, we’re gonna be needing light green,
Ro: dark green, and purple candy melts. You’ll also need
Eva: A mixer, a mixing bowl, a bone mold, some ice cream scoops and a baking tray
Eva: with some wax paper. Also, some mini cupcake liners.
Ro: That’s right! Now let’s put… Both: All together!
Ro: The first thing that we’re gonna do is we’re gonna put together our butter,
Ro: condensed milk, and powdered sugar into our mixing bowl,
Ro: until it is well combined.
Ro: Eva I’m gonna have you work the mixer. Eva: I’m excited!
Ro: So you get ready, I’m gonna put in the butter, it’s a little messy, but
Ro: you’re gonna want it to be room temperature. It’s really important that
Ro: it’s soft so that it blends well, you don’t want it to come right out
Ro: of the refrigerator. And now our condensed milk. Ooooooooooh!
Ro: Oooooooh! Eva: That was creepy enough, I think we should just stop here!
Ro: Powdered sugar. Ooooh! Ooooh! Eva: Oooh!
Ro: Oooh! A little ghosty dust cloud in here!
Ro: I’ll hold the bowl, you mix.
Ro: You guys didn’t know I had a fog machine on set did you?
Ro: Boom! Look at that, well mixed, now we’re gonna add our coconut flakes and
Ro: mix it up one more time. Just a little bit.
Eva: So we just finished mixing it up, and uh, what are we doing now Ro?
Ro: We are gonna take our little ice cream scoops, take one big scoop, and then place it
Ro: over here on top of the wax paper.
Eva: Once you’ve got ‘em all scooped out, we’re gonna put them in the fridge
Eva: for about an hour to chill. Ro: Yep, and while they are chilling
Ro: we are gonna make some little decorations!
Ro: Our coconut bonbons are chilling in the fridge and now we are gonna make some
Ro: bones to decorate. Here I have melted some of our green candy melts, it’s
Ro: half dark green and half light green, to make this color. I put it into a
Ro: plastic baggie and we’re just gonna cut a little opening at the top.
Ro: And then we are gonna fill our bones about 1/2 way full.
Ro: Once these are filled you can give them a few taps, boop-boop-boop-boop!
Ro: And that will make the candy melts lay flat. And then you’re gonna pop
Ro: these in the freezer for about 10 minutes to chill. And we’re gonna
Ro: get out our bonbons. Eva: Mmmm! Ro: And give ‘em a dip.
Ro: We just took the coconut bonbons out of the fridge and they’re right here
Ro: and they’re a little bit colder, so we were able to re-roll them.
Ro: To make them more of a circular shape, and over here, I’ve just heated
Ro: up our purple candy melts.
Ro: Eva told me she’s never been to The Melting Pot!
Eva: I’ve never even done fondue ever!
Ro: This is so exciting! OK, so at The Melting Pot you have these cute little
Ro: fondue sticks. Eva: Mmmhmm. Ro: And then you poke your little food, and then
Ro: you come over here and you’re gonna dip it in your chocolate or whatever
Ro: thing you want to coat it with. Let the excess candy drip off, and then go back over to the wax paper, whoap!
Ro: Bone-bonbon! Now you’re gonna do this to the rest of your bonbons!
Ro: Now we’re gonna add the final decoration step, this is my favorite!
Ro: OK, so we got our little green bones from earlier, and they have completely
Ro: chilled and set, and you’re just gonna pop ‘em out.
Ro: And now, you’re gonna take a serrated knife and you’re just gonna cut it.
Ro: I’m doing it at a little bit at an angle so that they’ll sit on top
Ro: of the bonbon a little funny.
Ro: And you’re gonna take a little bit of melted green candy melts that
Ro: we saved from earlier and you’re just gonna pipe a little at the end and then
Ro: stick ‘em on the top.
Ro: And you’re gonna have to hold it for a little bit, maybe 20 seconds,
Ro: 30 seconds. It’s kind of like putting together gingerbread houses.
Ro: You want to wait until the chocolate has set.
Ro: Now, we’re gonna put them in these little liners, how cute are these!
Ro: Oh my gosh! Eva: That is so cute! Ro: And you can give them to your friends.
Ro: Look at those!
Ro: Shake your bonbon, shake your bonbon!
Ro: We just finished our Coconut Bone-Bones! And now we are gonna make our last
Ro: creepy treat, we are gonna be making Rice Creepies!
Ro: Hwah-hwah-hwah! They’re gonna look like these little bats from the game.
Ro: So the things you will need, will be: 6 cups of Rice Krispies Cereal,
Ro: 10 ounces of mini-marshmallows, which is about 1 bag. 3 tablespoons
Ro: of butter, brown and green food coloring dye, and some orange jelly beans.
Ro: You will also need… Eva: Some cooking spray. Ro: Mmmhmmm.
Eva: A 9x13 glass pan, black candy melts, a bat shaped cookie cutter and
Eva: some white frosting that we placed in a decorating bag.
Ro: Yum! Now let’s, Both: Put it all together!
Ro: Best evil Witch laugh on three, one, two, three!
Both: Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Ro: The first thing that we’re gonna do is take our Rice Krispies, marshmallows,
Ro: butter and food coloring over to the stove.
Ro: Turn the stove to medium heat and in a large pot you’re gonna add the butter
Ro: and stir it around until completely melted. Then you’re gonna add your
Ro: marshmallows and stir again until completely melted. I’m using
Ro: a wooden spoon, just be careful because this mixture gets really hot!
Ro: Once the marshmallows have completely melted, we’re gonna add our food
Ro: coloring. I’m gonna add 3 drops of green and 1 drop of brown.
Ro: Mix them together until you get that creepy green color and then remove
Ro: your large pot from the stove. I’m just placing it on the counter.
Ro: Here we’re gonna add our Rice Krispies to the pot and fold them together
Ro: until they are well combined, and head back over to our baking station.
Ro: We just took the Rice Krispies off the stove, they’re nice and hot,
Eva: Now we’re gonna spray the pan with our baking spray so they don’t stick.
Ro: Give it a good spray, a little shake, a little spray, just like hair spray.
Ro: Easy to use. Eva: Oooh!
Ro: The pot is hot! So be careful, don’t burn yourself!
Ro: I’m gonna hold the pot, you scoop it in there, it’s super sticky!
Eva: Ooooh!
Ro: here’s my sneaky little trick, you’re gonna take a piece of wax paper.
Eva: Mmmhmmm. Ro: Place it on top. Eva: OK. Ro: And then we’re gonna pack
Ro: it down. Eva: OK, oooh! That feels nice! Ro: So you can spread ‘em all around
Ro: evenly and make it flat.
Ro: Eva, remove the wax paper slowly! Eva: Oooooh!
Ro: There you are, there you are!
Eva: Alright, so our Rice Krispies are ready and now we’re just gonna set these aside to cool
Eva: for about 30 minutes to an hour. Ro: Mmmhmm, and while they are cooling
Ro: we’re gonna make some fun decorations!
Ro: While our Rice Krispies are setting, we are gonna make some decorations
Ro: using this little template. I made this in photoshop, and I’ll put a link
Ro: down below if you want to download this template, or feel free to make
Ro: your own. But, you’re just gonna print it off, and then right here,
Ro: Eva and I have got these two little boards, you can use any surface you’d like,
Ro: And you’re gonna take your template, put it underneath a piece of wax paper,
Ro: and then we’ve taped them down at the top and the bottom so that they won’t
Ro: go anywhere. Here we’ve got two little baggies with the black candy melts,
Ro: we’ve melted them, and for a little bit more control we’ve added a number
Ro: 2 tip here at the end. You don’t need this, it’s totally optional.
Ro: I just like to have a little bit more control because I’m messy.
Ro: And now we’re just gonna trace out our little shapes, these are gonna
Ro: be the mouths of the bat.
Ro: Once we’re done with these we’re gonna set them off to the side and we’re
Ro: gonna take our Rice Krispies and cut out little bat shapes,
Ro: with a cute little cookie cutter!
Eva: OK, so we have our Rice Krispies and we’re just gonna plop them onto
Eva: the cutting board. Ro: Alright, give it a flip.
Both: Wooooooo!
Ro: We’re in business, we’re in business!
Ro: Take your little bat cookie cutter, and we're gonna cut out a bunch of bat shapes, you
Ro: can make as many as you’d like.
Ro: The first thing that you’re gonna do is take your little mouths that we made
Ro: earlier. And then we've got a little bit of melted black candy melts, we’re gonna add a little to
Ro: the back, and then stick him right on the front.
Ro: And now you’re gonna take some Jelly Beans, and I like to cut ‘em in half
Ro: to make the two little eyeballs, take a dab of the candy melts, put it on
Ro: the back, stick on your two eyeballs. You’re gonna take your little candy melts
Ro: And we’re just gonna pipe on some little eyebrows, and make two little
Ro: eyeballs on top of the jelly bean.
Ro: Now, we’re gonna cut up a bunch of jelly beans, I like to use the ends of the
Ro: jelly bean, and you’re just gonna cut the very tip of your jelly bean.
Ro: Take these little guys and I’m just gonna stick a couple onto each side,
Ro: the left and the right.
Eva: So now we’re gonna take our white frosting and put some teeth on them.
Ro: Errrr!
Ro: We’re gonna do two pointy teeth on the top, and two pointy teeth on the bottom!
Ro: This is our moment. Eva: This is my Moment!
Both: Ta-da!
