- Hi, I'm Rie and welcome back to make it fancy.
Today a friend is challenging me to take a popular food
and make it fancy.
Let's see what today's challenge is.
- Hey, Rie, It's Kelsey Dangerous.
I love make it fancy. So I'm so excited to be a part of it
This week, I would like you to make Reese's fancy.
Good luck!
- Reese's, one of the most popular candy.
I don't crave it every day. Once in a blue moon.
The packaging it's very classic.
The milk chocolate is a little bit sweet.
Peanut butter saltiness balances out.
Me and Kelsey did a cooking mama video game together.
I only play Mario kart.
- [Producer] Which character do you play as?
- Yoshi.
Donkey Kong doesn't drive well.
Yoshi is a perfect size.
In the past we made sweet candies into cakes or
other dessert. I want to try something different today
and I hope it works.
As always, I'm excited to make you fancy.
(lively music)
- [Rie] All right.
Here's what I got.
Thai basil, bell peppers, coconut cream
baby corn, scallions, cilantro, garlic, dark chocolate,
ginger, limes and shrimp. From the pantry I got,
soy sauce, fish sauce, chili powder,
ground ginger, red curry paste, white vinegar, coco powder,
dried Thai chili pepper, roasted peanuts,
grape seed oil, coconut oil.
Big pantry today.
Canola oil, peanut butter, chicken broth, rice noodle,
cacao nibs, brown sugar, coconut sugar, and red curry paste.
Let's get started.
Make it fancy.
First ingredients Reese's peanut butter cups.
I'm going to split it in half.
I'm just using a pairing knife.
It doesn't need to be perfect.
I just want to take off the chocolate top.
Put this in the fridge.
15 minutes later, it is cold
and I'm going to separate chocolate and peanut butter.
I have to dissect a lot of things, but in real life
I don't do this kind of stuff.
Peanut butter is also another thing,
like I want to know how people start using it.
Like who first decided grind, peanut and make peanut butter?
All right. So I separated a chocolate and peanut butter
and I'm gonna set it aside.
I have dried Thai red chili.
I'm gonna use gloves cause I don't wanna burn my hand.
Take out seeds inside. Tap it.
I don't have a lot of tolerance for too spicy food.
I don't like when it tastes like just heat.
I want to taste food.
Seeds is the hotter part.
If you remove seeds from pepper, it's not that bad.
I think it's gonna be a nice kick but it's
not too overpowering.
Reserve the seed for later.
Cover the pepper with hot water and soak this
about 30 minutes.
So I have a bell pepper, cut in half,
remove stem and seeds. Put cut down on the foiled sheet pan.
Broil this in the oven about five minutes
until the skin is blistered and black.
I put it in a heatproof bowl covered with plastic
so the skin got softened and left it about five minutes.
I broiled because you want to remove the skin.
Even you're blending something, the skin kind
of remains hard. Okay.
I removed all skins and I'm going to put it in a blender
and this is the Thai red chili I was soaking earlier
and I'm also going to put in the blender.
One and half cup of white vinegar. Blend.
(blender wiring)
Strain, so it doesn't have rough bits
of Thai chili pepper, any seed remaining.
Right, the color is very vibrant and I'm gonna
set this aside. I have two teaspoon of coconut oil,
half of milk chocolate from Reese's peanut butter cup.
Melt this together.
Chocolate is completely melted.
Two tablespoon of Coca powder, whisk to combine.
And once it is completely mixed add bell pepper and Thai
chili vinegar mixture. Everything is completely
blending together. Quarter cup of brown sugar,
and one teaspoon of salt.
Cook over medium low until everything is incorporated.
It looks nice and little bit bubbling.
And I'm going to set this aside.
Now I'm going to make chocolate soy covered peanut.
Right? Let's get fancy.
(piano music)
Now I have chocolate soy covered peanuts.
We have many ingredients. Heat up two tablespoons
of canola oil over medium heat. Adding minced garlic
and ginger.
Some scallions, cook until fragrant.
Right. Smells good.
Adding red curry paste.
Cook this until a little bit darker in the color.
Red pepper and baby corns. Cook until soften about
two minutes. Two cups of chicken stock.
Bring this to simmer. Cook this to six to seven minutes
and meanwhile, mix coconut cream peanut from Reese's peanut
butter cup and coconut sugar.
Mix to combine the carrot simmering little
into the peanut coconut mixture.
Then add this, add some salt. Taste a little bit.
I think I need a little bit salt and acidities
I'm going to add some lime juice, fish sauce.
More fish sauce.
It's delicious. Heat oil over medium high heat.
While it's heating, I'm going to seed and shrimp,
both sides.
- [Producer] Those are huge shrimp
- I've seen bigger.
(laughing)
It's pretty though. I love shrimp.
All right, I'm gonna flip this.
Shrimp is kind of easy to tell, like when it's cooked
because it turns red.
I'm cooking whole shrimp shelled on so I want to make sure
everything is crispy.
- [Producer] Rie, have you ever gone fishing?
- I did fishing when I was little, no recently
but I wanna do it.
Oh, I did a razor clam digging. Yeah.
It's like long shell.
I think you will freak out when you Google.
Right. Shrimp looks great.
It is cooked nicely and crispy.
Everything coming together.
I have some rice noodles. Cover with boiling water.
Cover this for five minutes until it is soft.
Right. So noodle is ready.
Drain water.
I hope Kelsey will be delighted.
Let's assemble.
This is a chocolate soy covered peanut.
Cutting a small pieces. Doesn't need to be precise size.
It's gonna be like random shape.
Some noodle, little curry, shrimp.
I almost forgot. I made this sauce.
Garnish with Thai basil and also put some cilantro,
chocolate peanuts, maybe put lime.
And we are done.
(soft music)
Reese's peanut butter cup curry. Spicy and fancy.
(lively music)
- Nice to see you!
- So good to see you.
- I usually put, you know, in the products on the table

So I'm hiding under the table. So close your eyes.

- You all cut and I'll still be here eating this food.
Polishing it off.
- [Producer] Kelsey, do you want to guess what Rie's
favorite video game is?
- Is it a Mario game?
- Yes.
- Is it like the racing one?
- Yes. Good one.
- Which character do you normally choose?
- Yoshi.
- Me too!
- Oh, right. Donkey Kong is
- He's kind of slow to like react.
- I like his banana peel though.
Official, agree with me so,
Kelsey, did I make Reese's peanut butter cups fancy?
- Yes.
- You have one last thing to do. Do you know?
- Is it the hand thing?
- Yes.
- Yes! This has been my dream.

- Yes.
Have fun. Goodbye.
