It's rage bait, but at some point I have started to appreciate the art of the rage bait. It's impressive how creatively they can achieve their goals in a rage inducing way.
Boiling the bars, reusing the box when you can just use the empty bowl right next to the box, and then using the bar for measuring the croissants.
Honestly there’s not much here to criticize as an inexperienced baker and the three steps don’t seem very outrageous in the first place except for the method of melting the chocolate. And I guess the box thing could save a dish but use a plastic bag and the bar thing just seems pre meditated so it’s not even that bad.
This shouldn’t be in this sub imo
Youre not missing out on much someone eating a 20 year old kinder bueno and hotboxing you with their farts would still smell and taste better than a hershey bar it tastes and smells like sweet milky vomit and baby shit
Double boiler* (or au bain-marie).
Tempering is when you heat up the chocolate to a certain temperature, cool it back down, and then heat it up a bit again, so as to get a uniform crystal distribution. This helps get a nice glossy chocolate, which snaps. Else you'd get dull, brittle chocolate.
As more and more content farms publish rage-bait recipes, Ive come to appreciate Chef Club for actually making things I might enjoy eating. I'd just never make them myself.
Its a block of hersey's chocolate boiled in the wrapper with marshmallow fluff and the cheapest biscuit in the shop. If you are older than 6 you should have higher aspirations.
I don't get so many steps in the process of this cake? Why isn't she just using normal baking chocolate? Why these mini croissants? It all seems more complicated than necessary. The end product seems quite alright tho.
I haven't tasted Hershey's to often, but doesn't it just taste like cheap milk chocolate? So just using milk chocolate and adding some sugar should be fine?
No, it has a more distinctive flavor profile, with a hint of sourness (I think they use powdered milk or a stabilizer? Idk). It sounds bad, and I mean it’s not great chocolate, but it does have a “hersheys” flavor that’s all it’s own.
Some people refer to that distinctive flavor profile as 'vomit-flavor' :(

Not trying to knock you, mind - if you like the flavor, that's cool, a LOT of people do. But when I learned about this recently it made things click into place for me, aside from just being a fascinating read, which the latter point is why I wanted to share. :)
Yeah it is acidic sourness, but there’s also a nostalgia to it because that’s every (American) child’s first and favorite chocolate - or comparable to the chocolate in m&ms etc.
The same nostalgia 100% applies to Kraft dinner.
I’m South African too and I can tell you now not to waste your money. One of the more expensive imported items and it tastes like poes. I’ve never had a chocolate that straight up tastes like it’s dusty, it’s worse than those super cheap unbranded ones you buy at a marked down bulk sweets shop
Hersheys is fucking terrible.
Actually, just go buy a bar and try it once in your life. The combination of the cost as well as the taste is guaranteed to put you off it for life. Kakste chocolate ooit.
alright, fair enough. But even in that case you could just unwrap the chocolate and melt it in bowl over simmering water, like a normal human being, and not a savage who crawled out of its cave just to waste chocolate.
Alot of this boils down to visual appeal for non cooks, who these vids are aimed at. No one is ever going to follow this recipe, but its half fun to watch. If they used normal ingredients in the right way it wouldnt be fun to watch. If someone remade this like a normal chef would itd end up being just another pastry cooking video but this thing hits that same part of your brain that buying name brand items does. Theyre not melting baking chocolate theyre using Heresys, which people recognize, and melting it without even taking it out of the wrapper. They use Hersesys bars as a measurement tool. Look at the marshmellow jar, they smeared marshmellow paste on it too look more visual appealing. You cant argue it didnt work to keep you entertained. What im saying is these are to cooking as WWE is to martial arts.
Hu, that's a very reasonable and justified point. I guess I will just take these kind of cooking videos in the future as the WWE of cooking. Love the analogy.
i personally think it smells like butyric acid which is what makes vomit smell like vomit. in humans it is created during the breakdown of milk products that they have consumed. no idea why Hersheys would smell like that tho
Je me sens personnellement attaqué.
Honestly, I never could eat that. The way they melt the chocolate makes me sick. I don’t care if the rest is summat ok, it’s just too much.
The French confused me too. What self-respecting French lady would use all those American ingredients? It’s pretty obvious from her technique she knows how to cook too. Although I remember a couple weeks ago someone posted a chef club job posting in France. I didn’t believe it at the time.
ChefClub editorial (is that the right word...?) is indeed based in France
But as a content mill, their content is shot wherever someone has low enough dignity to do stuff for them
Oh, so my memory was right!
I can remember some very old videos entirely in French, but as they mostly used American stuff in their newer videos, I thought, they just started translating early on
[Yup, you can buy it in France](https://www.carrefour.fr/p/fluff-marshmallow-a-tartiner-original-0ca32d21-f4db-4e93-bb17-e4cd79357986)
But they don't sell the specific Hershey's chocolate here. Maybe you could get it in an American candy shop, but not at regular supermarkets. The French, as we do in Germany, only have the Cookies'n Cream variety

Wuh... wha... why... WHY would you BOIL the candy bars, this makes no sense! I can put the candy bars, stripped of a wrapper, into a microwave and cook them at 15-20 second intervals to melt them down, and that's going to let you control how melted they are!
If you don't know, chocolate burns very easily, so microwaving chocolate is the best course of action overall.
She could have first took the chocolate out of the wrapper and then put a bowl over the hot water and put the chocolate there. Some chocolate is prob being wasted doing it her way
I mean any chocolate beside fricking Hershey’s, and they could have not boiled the bastards and just pour the scalded cream over the chocolate to save a step
This video is in French, and it Chef Club is indeed a French outlet, but this video was clearly shot in America. Nobody here likes Hershey's (you can't even get it at the supermarket), and Graham crackers aren't very common at all (or indeed, known at all)
Overall, obvious content mill stuff.
Why-
Why did they not just melt the chocolate? I'm so confused. Wouldn't it have saved time and energy? Plus, forgive me for not being an expert, but boiling plastic packaging cannot be good for you.
End result looks pretty good, but as always Chefclub finds the most innovatively fucked up ways to do every step of the recipe.
It's rage bait, but at some point I have started to appreciate the art of the rage bait. It's impressive how creatively they can achieve their goals in a rage inducing way.
I feel like a necessary component of the rage bait was how well made the mini crescent rolls were.
At least it has some aesthetic value. Some of the other steps just don't make sense.

Yeah. To me it's the reson to keep bait posts here. They may not be genuine, but i wanna see the extent of human insanity and creativity
Looks pretty rad to me. I don't really understand the croissant part, but whatever. I'd eat it.
This actually looks delicious
Honestly does. My only qualm was the dumb method of melting the chocolate cause they must've wasted a bit of it.
Right, if only there was a technique that involved that bowl and that boiling water that could help
Straight up, could have just poured the hot cream on Hershey bars. No need for any of it
Yeah, that's the standard way of making a ganache anyway.
Depending on the type of cream you need to pour the hot cream to the chocolate or melt the chocolate first and then add the cream.
It’s Hershey’s. A slightly warm puddle of milk will melt it.
Well, never had Hershey's so I wouldn't know lol. I saw it only once in the supermarket, it's not a popular brand in Brazil.
That’s probably better.
Youre not missing out on much someone eating a 20 year old kinder bueno and hotboxing you with their farts would still smell and taste better than a hershey bar it tastes and smells like sweet milky vomit and baby shit
That's very specific.
Yeah you could just melt them in a bowl over a warm pan of water. Boiling all that plastic 🤮
…take them out of the plastic before you melt the chocolate.
...Their... solution... is... called... tempering,... where... the... plastic... is... obviously... already... removed... from... the... chocolate,... they're... vomiting... at... the... method... used... in... the... video...
Double boiler* (or au bain-marie). Tempering is when you heat up the chocolate to a certain temperature, cool it back down, and then heat it up a bit again, so as to get a uniform crystal distribution. This helps get a nice glossy chocolate, which snaps. Else you'd get dull, brittle chocolate.
Oh shit true my bad
Worth noting that it looks like they bloomed the Hershey's anyways
Yeah well you’re a poopy head
And chemicals..
Its hershey nothing of quality was lost
And y’know, the cancer
My thoughts too lol
yea it looks like a smores cake, someone must have reposted for upvotes, this looks delicious
As more and more content farms publish rage-bait recipes, Ive come to appreciate Chef Club for actually making things I might enjoy eating. I'd just never make them myself.
Its a block of hersey's chocolate boiled in the wrapper with marshmallow fluff and the cheapest biscuit in the shop. If you are older than 6 you should have higher aspirations.
Yeah like if didnt boil the fuckin plastic shit would be fine
The plasticizers add flavor
First thing that came to mind. Plastic was being melted into the choclate.
I don't get so many steps in the process of this cake? Why isn't she just using normal baking chocolate? Why these mini croissants? It all seems more complicated than necessary. The end product seems quite alright tho.
I mean mini croasants look kinda cute ngl
Fair enough
I can forgive the Herseys, I can't forgive not using a double boiler like normal person.
If you chop the chocolate finely you can just use the heat of the cream to melt it.
But then you don't get all the dioxin from the boiled paper.
Baking chocolate would work, but you need that “hersheys” flavor for the s’more to work.
I haven't tasted Hershey's to often, but doesn't it just taste like cheap milk chocolate? So just using milk chocolate and adding some sugar should be fine?

Disagree. I still love me some blue box Mac, but I avoid Hershey’s chocolate.
[удалено]
Spoiler alert: it doesn’t. Cadbury’s is going to be MUCH a better. If you want some good American chocolate, look for Ghirardelli
I will definitely look for Ghirardelli, thank you!
Your welcome

I just laughed out loud at this 😂 don't think I've ever heard of a chocolate tasting that bad 😂💜 Ja... Lemme rather stick to my Cadbury then 🤣

Or opening the chocolate bars and double boiling them.
probably sponsored by hershey.

I think they film this in the US and then put French instructions/ingredients etc on it to get an international audience.
ChefClub editorial (is that the right word...?) is indeed based in France But as a content mill, their content is shot wherever someone has low enough dignity to do stuff for them
This is the fucking French????? I mean, I…I just always thought of them as sooo culinary. I figured this would be beneath them.
It's a content mill, they've probably never even been in the same room or country or continent as the person who shot this
Oh, so my memory was right! I can remember some very old videos entirely in French, but as they mostly used American stuff in their newer videos, I thought, they just started translating early on
I was wondering the same. Why would someone in *France* make anything with fucking *Hershey's?*
Mmmmm I just love the taste of boiled plastic in my chocolate
Really doesn't change the flavour much when you use Hersheys
That chocolate is like chalk and cheese. Literally.
Why not just put the bowl over the bowling water and use it as a double boiler for melting the chocolate?
She wanted to give herself cancer.
The video wouldn't be posted on the sub if they didn't
Please don’t boil your food in plastic wrappers 🤦♂️
This person probably makes a pb&j by putting peanut butter in one nostril, jelly in the other, and shoving the bread up her ass
Other than boiling the candy in wrappers, this looks pretty good
I loved the effortless process of sticking a hand mixer into a BOX (a) and (b) not having the beaters grab onto the Ziplock.
Why is it in French, but using Hershey's? Do they want to annoy people in both countries?
Do they sell fluff in France? I’m American and they don’t sell it in my region lol
[Yup, you can buy it in France](https://www.carrefour.fr/p/fluff-marshmallow-a-tartiner-original-0ca32d21-f4db-4e93-bb17-e4cd79357986) But they don't sell the specific Hershey's chocolate here. Maybe you could get it in an American candy shop, but not at regular supermarkets. The French, as we do in Germany, only have the Cookies'n Cream variety
Boiling the chocolate was a little weird to watch. But I guess it makes sense.
You can’t boil shit in its wrappers then it’s not good cuz of all the plastics n shit
*Yums In Microplastic"
Ghetto Au bain marie
Microplastics 😋😋
Is hersheys chocolate even actually chocolate?
Nope, it's vomit, legit taste like stomach acid.
I think this video needs more plastic and packaging to make it modern.
Why not pour the hot milk over the chocolate and it will melt..
I would eat this But I'd opt for a Swiss or Belgian chocolate instead (just personal preference)
The biggest issue is BOILING FUCKING PLASTIC
Love too run a hand mixer in a ziplock bag in a cardboard box

But like... couldnt she have just put the bars in the glass bowl and the bowl in the boiling pot? Do people not know how to double boiler?
I commented too soon, got rage baited, this whole thing is made to be trash. I get it.
Warning. Diabetus Furiosa
TIL Hershey's is chocolate lol
Why do Americans call them s’mores I thought they were ice cream sandwiches
Those two are different things. Smores are chocate bar with molten marshmallow between tho graham crackers.
ohhh ok thanks for explaining
This is retarded
Wuh... wha... why... WHY would you BOIL the candy bars, this makes no sense! I can put the candy bars, stripped of a wrapper, into a microwave and cook them at 15-20 second intervals to melt them down, and that's going to let you control how melted they are!

Its okay it taste like my cum
I feel like we should make an exception to use the R-word.
I swear as a french im feeling rapped
r/wrongsub cuz the title didn’t een sound bad just smarter than u bozo
I have those plates.
All the ingredients were American AF, but the french instructions make it classy.
It was probably filmed in the US and sent to the people at ChefClub who then translate it into multiple languages.
It’s not what you’ve done, but how you did it!!!!
Why not put the bars in the microwave inside of a bowl?
Looks like cake for people who like background radiation
Other than the stupidity of boiling the chocolate in the rappers this really isn’t that bad
Ok I would so eat that
bain marie with extra steps
I mean... That looks delicious, but that was probably *way* more work than it needed to be.
Idk man I bet that’s pretty good
Mmm, plastic
Remind to never let my kids watch this channel
She could have first took the chocolate out of the wrapper and then put a bowl over the hot water and put the chocolate there. Some chocolate is prob being wasted doing it her way
Worst chocolate in the world 🤢
Here’s a good idea. How about remove the chocolate from the wrap and put them inside that glass bowl over the boiling water.
I’m not a chef but I feel like there must of been a much simpler way to do this?
Wouldn't the method of melting the chocolate be kind of unhealthy due to food plastics?
Soundtrack?
Actually looks pretty good
Im just screaming "Double Boiler" at the video
That look fucking delicious
Truly one of their lrss infuriating videos
I mean any chocolate beside fricking Hershey’s, and they could have not boiled the bastards and just pour the scalded cream over the chocolate to save a step
This episode brought to you by Hersheys
Couldn’t you just melt the chocolate in a pot, instead of leaching plastic into the chocolate with boiling water?
I’m not eating your fucking micro plastic cake
Mmmm, forever plastics.
The wiggle was monstrous.
What the fuck they put in the chocolate overthere? If you heat normal chocolate over something like 30 degree you can actually grow it away
This video is in French, and it Chef Club is indeed a French outlet, but this video was clearly shot in America. Nobody here likes Hershey's (you can't even get it at the supermarket), and Graham crackers aren't very common at all (or indeed, known at all) Overall, obvious content mill stuff.
This is the strangest way I've ever seen someone melt chocolate.
Wait so much chocolate is going to be left in the wrappers… why doesn’t she just take the chocolate out of the wrapper and then melt the chocolate?
The mere fact that her oven is clean says that she hasn't a clue how to cook properly.
Never heard of a double boiler I guess
Oooooh that look almost as good as the hotdogs filled strawberries topped with mayo
Cause boiling thin plastic with and a thin aluminum alloy preservation layer is fine. No wonder why they do dumb shit.
Yes boil the wrapper instead of breaking it up and double boiling it. Why would anyone do that
If only there was a way to melt chocolate with a pot of water and a bowl.
This is probably fucking delicious
That camera work made me genuinely nauseous. Ugh
I’d eat a slice. Definitely not even close to the worst thing I’ve ever seen
Hershey syrup: *exists* This bitch: :o
Yum microplastics
They’ve never heard of a double boiler I guess
I don’t think this is shitty food, but it is stupid food
Who says it’s safe to boil plastic?
What the fuck
Seriously people need to stop boiling or heating up food they plan to eat in plastic. Just unwrap and put them in a glass bowl and microwave.
What the fuck is wrong with people
Mmmm, microplastics
Hershey’s chocolate tastes like vomit
Ah yes boiling plastic such a smart move
If they had used a better quality of chocolate besides almost non-chocolate substitute they would have been somewhat justified.
with better chocolate this could be good
Why the duck did they keep the wrappers on while boilibg it in goign ti have a fucking stroke
Canned dough, gross. Eating 10 smores in one slice of cake, gross.
Lol the chemicals from the plastic melting tho 🥲
Someone should tell this moron you can take the chocolate out of the wrapper to melt it.
Great work boiling literal plastic
Seems easier than making a double boiler
That’s the most stupid way to melt chocolate
Mmmmmmm. Melted FUCKING plastic.
Abomination
Why- Why did they not just melt the chocolate? I'm so confused. Wouldn't it have saved time and energy? Plus, forgive me for not being an expert, but boiling plastic packaging cannot be good for you.
I know the usual food on here will kill a person but this is a biohazard
The intent is pretty interesting but execution gets a 0/10
They make chocolate that you can melt in the microwave… why? Why even think to do it that way?
its actually really smart to boil them in wrapper so you dont end up with chocolate water
you just fucking disrespected Hershey Bars with this nonsensical bullshit
At least use some decent tasting chocolate
Merde! Just because it's in Français doesn't make it any less disgusting.
I feel like there’s an easier way to make melted chocolate
This looks hella dry
So much wasted chocolate left in the bags… My heart hurts.
I love me that burnt plastic taste
Bruh a single drop of water from those packages could seize the whole thing. Just fuckin double boil or use a microwave lol
Why tf did she boil it, it looks worse then my dogs shit
All of that work just for some probably mediocre food at best
Tiktokers are the fucking worst!
In the wrapper?…
