So what you're saying is:
today I'm doing Shrooms
[music]
I feel like we need to clarify the whole shroom thing from the get go because,
by shrooms Simon means Chocolate Mushrooms
Choko Mushrooms
Sh-roooooms
So you might remember from our last K-pop Music Monday one of the
prizes that we could win were these chocolate little
mushroom thingies which I wound up winning
and I love. Today we can actually make them.
Well, here's what I want to know: what are penguins
doing with mushrooms? That doesn't even make
sense to me. Has a penguin ever even smelled
a mushroom before? Wait a second, hang on a second!
Maybe this is a knock-off of the mushroom brand
and these are supposed to be icebergs?
Oooooh!
Either way they look the exact same so let's
try making them now.
Pa-ah! Pa-ah!
Penguin is here to join us and to
grope us...uh... while we make these.
Pa-ah! Okay...
Penguin.
Let's uh...Let's put Penguin down here where he can't
bother us. Penguin.
To-bo. Okay, so you open up the tube- Oh my God these penguins
look so cute! Open up the tubes, squeeze them
in, and then after- Oh,
wait a second! What? We're suppoesd to put the
tubes in warm water for
twenty to thirty seconds first. Are we? We
already almost forgot. Good thing we can speak Korean,
unlike our Japanese one where we had nooo
chance. Go and get some warm water. I don't wanna
get warm water. Well, I'm already sitting down and I'm
bigger than you. I have returned!
Okay, this says: twenty to thirty seconds. Count!
After that you can squeeze the tubes in, and then
we put them in the refridgerator for 10 to 15
minutes. Yeah. What second are we at?
We're twenty seconds in. Okay, I'm done. No,
no you need twenty to thirty seconds. Twenty thirty.
Wait! Stop it!
I wanna play with it now. No! You're not-
You're way to early! We're at thirty seconds.
Okay I'm going for it. Oh! Oh! I feels a lot more
liquidy now.
Scalding hot.
O-ow, ow!
It burst through the top! There you go.
Mine's mushing through that way. Okay, that's one.
'Kay, so I'm mushing it through the
bottom like that. Okay, this is not
working for me. Okay. I'm gonna get- Get scissors.
This is complicated! This can't be made for children.
Woah! I got crappy chocolate all
over my fingers now. By crappy
chocolate, do you mean high quality
Penguin chocolate? No. Oh, no.
I can't. Okay, I'm gonna chop this of right here.
'Kay, I'm gonna do mine first. Okaaay.
You have a little pink hat, do you want me to fill
beside it? Yeah, oh
Simon! With more grace, please. How
can I? Oh, Simon, come on now.
Is this supposed to be banana flavour or vanilla flavour?
I think it's gonna be vanilla flavour. 'Kay,
I'm gonna do a little white cap right here.
Do you remember that time I tried
to make you chocolate when we were dating? Yeah,
I totally remember that. Do you actually not
even remember? What do you- How dare you
accuse me of not remembering a
special memory like that. Choco-man, yo.
Right now. Yo, son, do you
not remember me making you chocolate?
Homemade chocolate. What did I make you? What kind of
chocolate did I make you? The homemade kind.
This is extremely important. Is it?
You need to answer this question right now.
I'm on camera, I'm nervous. You've got to put
it in there. Um...it involved
me dog sitting
and the dog sitters let me use
their kitchen and the kitchen
had chocolate molds and I made you
something involving coffee, and they
turned out terribly. If you made me such
terrible chocolate, why would I remember it?
Because it was a special memory of you eating it being like:
"Oh, yeah. It was totally really good."
It was...blueberry chocolate?
[crashing noise] Simon is in, like, the
deepest of doo-doos. Okay,
now we're gonna put the sticks in,
alright? Careful 'cause they can get overflow-y.
I made you chocolate covered espresso beans!
Oh yeah, I remember that! Oh yeah,
I totally remember. It was like, that
chocolate covered- Right, and the espresso beans were
so bitter. And rock hard! And when you bit
into it, it was actually like chewing a raw - yeah-
espresso bean. It didn't even taste good
in any way. Well, you know what?
These are gonna teste better than that. Okay,
so we got these, if you guys can see them.
Yeah. Um...Let's head over to the kitchen
and put them in the fridge and then set a timer.
I can't believe you didn't remember special memories of
chocolate. Of course I did!
[Simon singning]
Spudgy, Rose, Owen.
Okay. Oh, I'm gonna show of our awesome fridge first.
These are all the magnets we got from all the nasties
from different parts of the world. Isn't this a ble-doughing [?]
fridge. Uh-huh! It's comming along really nicely.
Okay. Aaand it goes in.
Okay. 10 to 15 minutes! Okay. Okay.
[timer beeping] Yay!
[excited breathing]
I really hopes this works, 'cause in my experiences
of chocolate you can't pull them out of
the packaging. They look like- We did exactly
what the instructions told us to do. Right?
Let's see how they look at the bottom.
Totally okay. Beautiful chocolate.
So, okay. Let's bring them over. I want one
of Simon's blurbedy-blurbedy ones.
These look pretty good actually. They actually
look like they- These look significantly
worse than the ones that we buy
pre-made out of a bag. Well...
because the ones pre-made were mushrooms
and I belive these are tiny icebergs. Okay, so
how are we supposed to get these out? Um...You just
push them out the bottom? You just pop them, maybe? You just
push them out the bottom? Okay, ready? Okay.
Oh! Oooh!
Very easy!
Okay, pop them out. Ew! You're putting them on our dirty
table top. Yeah, I know. Don't do that! Gross!
They're already on a dirty table top, don't worry about it. No!
Ooh! Ooh!
Okay, let's try them! So these chocolate ones-
This is what the packaging
kind of looks like. This actually looks,
like, pretty authentic. Oh! Can you see this?
Okay, try the chocolate one. Let's see if it actually tastes
similar. Okay, ready? Is this right? Let's see...
[sound of time passing]
[bell ringing]
Those actually taste better
than the ones we usually get. They do. Except, (Woah!)
the cookie is a bit stale.
Next time let's get them with fresh cookies.
I got the white chocolate one. I'm gonna do the
pink and...I'm gonna do a pretty one.
Okay. Mm, let me se. Mm! This one's really pretty!
Okay, yeah, uh-huh.
[sound of time passing]
[bells ringing]
Chocolate ones were better. Mm-hm.
These were pretty sweet, though. Woah. Wooooo!
That is sugary! This was the sweetest thing I've had in a
long time. Wooooo! Aaaah!
[sound of time passing]
[bells ringing]
Strawberry one wasn't worse. If you could have this
in all chocolate, I would be totally okay with that.
It definitely wasn't as good. The vanilla's pretty good, though.
I wonder if you could do this with any chocolate. Could you technically
melt down, like a Lindt chocolate bar on the stove top
and then squeeze it out into these little molds?
We have to try it. [laughter] FOR SCIENCE!
Of course, and for you guys. Last one. I like how we're
like: "They're pretty awful!" and then we just eat them all anyways.
Um...There's really something satisfying about making
your own stuff. I feel like if someone asked me - It tastes better,
otherwise - this would be disgusting! Right. But now
because I made it, it tastes wonderful. Right?
That's it for this week's Wonderful Treasure Find.
I...will pass on this in the future. Yes.
I think it was really fun to make and,
if you were a kid or if you're really into sweet things
then go ahead and get this. But, if you're not
into, like, super sugary things, it's pretty
intense. I think it's much better if you just buy
the original ones from the uh...packaging.
We actually got this from Daiso, so it was like
a dollar-fifty so, it was pretty much worth it.
At least we got to have fun. Yeah, exactly!
Let's keep on making candy all the time. Yes!
It should be our new job: Simon and Martina, candyyyy-
Wait. Uh...
candy makers/break!
Okay, let's do 'candy break'. We'll be like:
Simon and Martina: candy break!
