Is it TOO BIG?!

in today's video we are going to see if we can make a giant tootsie roll and if we can what else we can make using the same recipe [Music] [Applause] guys they gave me a new kitchen because we've destroyed the last one not really but we do have a few new sets for us to play with so it'll be very interesting for you to see what else we might be able to do in the coming videos but for today we are going to be using this new setup so the goal for today is to see if we can make a giant tootsie roll I've looked up lots of different recipes online and I found one that seemed to be the easiest and also tastes the best it's pretty simple it just involves chocolate corn syrup and flavoring so that's what we're gonna start with here's the basic idea we want to see if we can make a giant tootsie roll so we have found a recipe involving chocolate corn syrup and different types of flavoring we're gonna see if we can make this and if we can do that see if we can make some edible play dough too now as I've said I have seen jumbo candies made in the past and they are awesome but I want to make not just a giant tootsie roll I want to make it look like one of the miniatures scaled up so that's gonna be the goal today and when I say big I'm talking about probably a full footlong log so let's see if we can do that what we're gonna start with is we're gonna have our chocolate chips and our corn syrup this recipe is so simple for every 12 ounces or about a cup and a half of chocolate chips that you use it's just a half cup of corn syrup we're gonna probably quadruple that or more just to make sure that we've got enough let's go ahead and get everything melting on the stove so medium to low heat when you're working with any type of sugar you don't want a full high heat you can if you're making like hard crack candy things like that medium is still preferred try not to burn it you keep from burning I'm gonna go ahead and add a little bit of the corn syrup first yes that will burn too but I want that slight bit of liquid in there before I add the chocolate so one of the bags that I got was accidentally 36 ounces instead of 24 so to make this very simple one batch alone is going to be twelve ounces of chocolate chips to 1/2 cup of corn syrup so 12 ounces is a cup and a half to make it easy so this is why I let the corn syrup heat up a little bit before I added the chocolate because I'm not using a double boiler and when you're trying to melt chocolate without a double boiler it can be a little bit challenging to try and melt it without arching it there are still a few chunks in here not everything's fully melted but I am gonna take it off the heat again just to make sure that nothing scorches or burns I'm gonna go ahead and pour it out and as it's cooling the warmth from all of the melted chocolate is actually gonna incorporate any chocolate that hasn't melted yet perfect while we let this cool there are a couple of other things I want to try if you didn't notice before I do have some white chocolate here as well there's another type of candy made by the same company called fruity rolls I'm gonna try and make that recipe but we're not gonna make fruity rolls alright so we've got our white chocolate base that you used to make fruity rolls however we're gonna make a giant tootsie roll I don't want to make fruity rolls themselves so I have another thought let's see if we can make edible play dough alright so we've got our mix we've got our playdough we've got red yellow and blue and colors we've got a couple of different flavorings however I'm not entirely sure just how much I need to be mixing here now an entire container says it's 16 ounces I'm gonna go ahead and check and just make sure I know obviously that's gonna be 4 ounces per container but I want to see the volume before I start mixing [Music] so half cup should be about the right amount I'm gonna make a little bit more of each just in case so first we're gonna go ahead and mix our colors make sure everything looks right and after that we can add some flavoring something very important to note I am NOT using a liquid food coloring and I am not using a flavoring extract what I'm actually using is a flavoring oil and a gel color the reason why is because the consistency once this cools all the way and has a little bit of time to settle is gonna be the correct consistency and we don't want to hurt that so these have a little bit less of a liquid content now these colors might not match exactly but if you're trying to prank friends about eating play-doh still gonna work this won't be a neon yellow so now I would mix these a little bit more you can still see a few swirls here and there but we're gonna be adding some flavoring now that's gonna mix it some more watermelon for our red we've got some lemon oil for our yellow and then shockingly it was very difficult to find any sort of blue fruit flavoring so we're gonna go ahead and go with raspberry because you see blue raspberry everywhere okay something to note if you've ever baked you use flavoring before if you are using flavoring oils don't make the same mistake I did when I was mixing the colors because this stuff is potent I'm gonna start out with maybe two drops of each in each just to see all right so we've got our different flavors we've got our regular tootsie roll flavor here is probably the most patience required part of this entire project well some of these only required two ingredients like tootsie rolls Stephens include for with the food coloring and the food flavoring these have to sit for about 24 hours and the reason why is you can see just how soft this is even play-doh isn't that soft and if you come over here to our tootsie roll no tootsie roll unless you heat it up it's gonna be that soft however if you let it sit overnight everything starts to sort of solidify and have the correct consistency that we're looking for I'm gonna go ahead and cover everything up come back in 24 hours we'll finish them all right so it's the next morning and everything sort of had a chance to firm up a little bit over the night so let's go ahead and see how everything turned out see if this is the consistency that we need it to be now you'll notice that there's still a little bit of white that's fine that's just solidified oil solids but if I push it on that and then push on our play-doh yes the play-doh did get a little bit crunchy because I left it out overnight so let's look at the middle here that's basically the same consistency so once we mix that up that's gonna be perfect all right so I'm very excited to put these in our play-doh containers I really want to see just how close we can make this look like the actual product but before that I want to see how our chocolate tips URL turned out that is perfect the only difference that I'm noticing from a regular Tootsie Roll is that it actually smelled a lot better because it smells like real chocolate so I'm not sure if we have enough for one or like one and a half but let's start rolling this up see how much we've got so this is a lot of chocolate it's very malleable it feels a lot like the consistency of a Tootsie Roll when I say I'm not sure if we have enough for two or even one let me show you what I mean we then just want to make the flavor of tootsie roll we actually want to make it look exactly like a tootsie roll so first off your thickness let's go ahead and just roll this [Music] you know honestly I think that's gonna be the perfect amount let's see [Music] yup all right so just time to form it [Music] this is difficult I'm gonna toss them the microwave this is a terrible idea I won't do it anyways ah a little bit better alright let's try that [Music] perfect now I do think that the grease from the chocolate is going to come right through this because this is not waxed paper like a normal 2-0 so I think we're gonna wrap it twice and there we go one giant tootsie roll alright so we've tossed our giant tootsie roll into the freezer to see if we can get it to solidify stay in that nice round shape and while we do that let's make some play-doh so the goal here is to take out just as much as we have in our nice little play-doh cylindrical shapes shape them into the same forms and then put them into our little play-doh containers does feel like play-doh [Music] we've got everything freezing we've got our play-doh ready to go now I've got a little bit of time to kill you want to touch the Royal spoon store yeah but you took like two days hang on I made my own good so we did freeze this so it's quite a bit more solid make sure it holds that nice round shape although I will point out a lot of these tootsie rolls nice very round that's not too worried about it every time I think you're actually ahead of most of these in shape how heavy do you think this is there's your brick a solid job 14 pounds that's my guess we should get the scale Oh 10 down down to zero within like one one thousandth of a pound as far as this thing can measure I'm gonna make you eat something really weird okay that's right it's play-doh now I'm supposed to play with it or heat it here's the thing which one do you think is the real play-doh and which one do you think it's food I think this one is play-doh in this one is food hope you're right because I'm playing with some of this one and it's very similar to play dough consistency maybe just a little bit stretchy a little bit not tastes like play-doh which is good because Plato tastes and viola not that I know what Plato tastes like well flavor is this one [Music] you can use okay good so guys if you decide that you want to make play-doh and eat it and prank your friends if you want to carry around a giant tootsie roll in public we want to see it so link us in the comments below hey guys thanks for watching click up there if you want to see our last video and we'll see in the next one
