Pastry Chef Attempts to Make Gourmet Twix | Gourmet Makes | Bon Appétit

Twix. They’ve been at the heart of a debate that goes back more than five decades. Lines have been drawn so intractable that friendships, relationships, even nations have been ruined. Who could forget the Great Twix Battle between the UK and Finland in 1984? No, we’re not speaking of the Left vs. Right debate. We’re talking about the Conflict of Classification that rages to this day. The age old debate: is Twix candy or cookie? Out of respect for those who came before, we will not take a position. Instead, join Claire Saffitz in the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen as she attempts to make a gourmet version of Twix that can hopefully bring peace to this conflict.




ABOUT BON APPÉTIT

Claire: Having mental breakdown over her chocolate
Brad: *HOW’D TEMPERING GO CLAIRE?!*

[piekazkout]

Claire: *Has a mental breakdown over the chocolate*
Brad: "HOWS THE CHOCOLATE GOIN'?"

[kara]

brad is just like a friendly no one ever really knows where he is or what he's doing but sometimes he shows up and does something helpful

[danielb]

Gaby: *kneels down to avoid being in shot*
Claire: ‘Gaby you can be in the video’
Gaby: *stands up*
*cuts to next scene*

[netowner]

Past episodes: "the chocolate didn't set"
This episode: "the chocolate is setting too quickly!"

There's just no pleasing you, Claire

[xingcat]

"Do you want to try something disgusting?"
"YES!"
That's why Chris is awesome.

"Confidence level is pretty high." Minute 3 of 40

"There's no after breakfast dessert. That's inappropriate."

Her MIND

[amiemcconnell]

Gaby squatting down while answering the phone, so that she wouldn't interrupt the shot was the cutest thing everr

[FodderMoosie]

I hope that Claire gets to someday retire to a beautiful home, on a scenic vista, where she can grate cookies into perfect rectangles all day.

[Koujoung]

Who else looks at the thumbnails and INSTANTLY checks the video lengths to see the level of frustration and anger Claire is gonna go through? We should make a 'Claire scale' at this point.

[Azerai]

Rewatching this series makes me realize how much I miss this crew showing up in my feed every week. BA lost some real ones.

[cammo]

“It’s going weirdly well”

*checks time*

20 mins left of the video

[isabellaenriquez]

Clair getting the dehydrator on her own without asking Brad? That's called growth.

[bear]

how about BA sends Claire to a chocolatier workshop, for her sanity

[tarabest]

One of my favorite things about Claire is how honest she is about her feelings.

[gabriel-dxhw]

“I don’t think there’s a curse on the third day”

"I don't think there's a curse on the 3rd day" - 20mins left of the video...oh Claire

[singerofsongs]

“it’s going weirdly well”
> 21 minutes left in the episode
oh no claire

[cjpbubbles]

You should do an episode where Clair goes to a chocolatier and learns the secret art of chocolate tempering
