[@babishculinaryuniverse]

The Basics with Babish Cookbook is available now for preorder on Amazon! Special thanks to Brad Cash for filming and Nico Borbolla for producing this episode with me over the past 5 days!

[@company_craft]

Congratulations On 10 million man.

[@cranium_xii]

You deserve it.

[@mrl2322]

Okay not to be a grammar police but you misspelled "basic" also congratulations on 10 million

[@theo7049]

10 Million and all of them are totally deserved. Congratulations man

[@company_craft]

Hey babish, when the time comes, you should reveal your diamond play button.

[@MichaelTheRead]

"It's more than a book, it's a celebration of mistakes." Babish really is the Bob Ross of the culinary universe.

[@idontneedaname318]

He shares many of the traits. Even tempered men with relaxing voices

[@ProjectMayhem4Chaoz]

With the opposite hair

[@tktyga77]

Have you by any chance known of making carob similar to that of chocolate?

[@frollard]

Ever boil your milk past a light scald for tempering? No problem, it's birds now.

[@daniapfel2825]

Yeah

[@bensonsj98]

The absolute chokehold that SpongeBob has on me is insane. I literally can’t think about or mention chocolate without thinking about this episode or quoting it.

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

After watching this video, I think I'll be the same way.

I absolutely love that Andy has built something that took him from making gnocchi while singing like a crazy person at 3am to getting drone shots of him running through the jungle in Ecuador. Congrats on reaching 10 million!

This is a perfect BWB episode. An iconic food from an iconic episode of an iconic show, mixed with great cinematography and of course the actual chocolate making process. Cheers on 10 mil babish, you deserve it.

[@JustPineapple]

Cant believe SpongeBob invented chocolate bro, guess you learn more every day!

[@bootlemonster]

This is a perfect comment.

[@CatsAndPokemon]

[@dphalanx7465]

@R. P. Slow-mo Babish dash through the jungle was pure adventure theater--all that was needed was the _Jonny Quest_ sound sting and pursuit by arrow-firing natives (with the occasional _aaaiiiieeee_ as one got eaten by 'gators!).

Congratulations on the diamond play button!! I can't think of any channel more deserving of the honor!! My brother and I have been brought closer together by this channel and its recipes. We've celebrated flawlessly tempered eggs when making the chocolate oasis pie from Waitress, done so many bad Kronk impressions while making spinach puffs, and the French toast bake from Basics is now a Christmas morning staple. Thank you all at the BCU for doing what you do. It's a bright, bright light in what can be a very dark world.

[@IndexInvestingWithCole]

It’s funny you said that because I came just to say I couldn’t think of a channel that deserves it less than this one. One of the biggest quality drops in KZbin history.

[@illuminati955]

​@Investing With Cole why? Where did the quality drop?

[@PlayMadness]

I remember when they first invented chocolate.

[@m.i.g.2023]

Finally, the episode where Babish actually makes everything from scratch

[@jbearclowater]

I don't know... it looks like he bought some of those machines.

[@Basomic]

I dunno, I was kinda hoping he'd engineer his own plane with which to fly to Ecuador

[@majorl2246]

Didn’t forge his own pots either 😔

[@QuiGonJoe]

if only HTME made all the equipment to make chocolate for him

[@smashpro1]

He clearly didn't grow the cacao trees, himself.

[@circuitsalsa]

The folks you showcased in Ecuador looked so thrilled to have a guest who loves to share and appreciate the world like you do. Thanks for all the work you've put into your videos, and the work of all your teammates.

[@ocinidolegna]

yeah :) makes me emotional, along with seeing how far this channel has come

[@mateoh2438]

Thats the thing, we latinos love when people from other countries want to visit our little humble land. Its so nice and people are so kind to tourists. For us is an honor when someone from a first world country shows interest in our ways. Its sad because I lived in different places of Europe and a lot of times the people were not thrilled that I was there. Especially old people. Even once in Poland there was an independence day and my Polish friends told me not to go out because foreigners get harased

[@GarethDragon]

Getting to taste the cacao straight out of the pod must've been amazing. Congratulations on 10 million subscribers!

[@SuperJNG18]

At first, I was thinking “huh, a chocolate bar doesn’t seem quite as elaborate as his other subscriber specials.” Then I saw he was boarding a plane to Ecuador and THEN I knew we were heading in the right direction. Congrats on this insane milestone! One of the first videos I watched on this channel was the Krabby Patty so this is a nice full-circle moment for me. Keep on cooking - I will if you will!

[@cbdrawer9527]

Mate, knowing Babish, even the most simplistic recipes are gonna be taken over the top when required for maximum flavor.

[@jwalster9412]

Even Neil red didn't go Into this much effort for his chocolate.

[@Silentgrace11]

It put a big grin on my face to see you go through the whole process of making chocolate - right down to the faces of the people who are at the core of it and the fruit harvesting. Absolutely love it, and congrats on much deserved 10 million subscribers.

[@kingfrog6807]

being here since Timpano really has been a journey congrats on the 10Mil you earned it and I cant wait to see where we go from here!

[@olivernelson283]

Congratulations Andy, and all the others I've been here for the journey.

[@KrispyKorps]

I was expecting a cooking video and was given a short film. I wouldn’t have thought to make chocolate from scratch, but you continue to never disappoint! Happy 10 Million!

[@afterdinnercreations936]

Or keep the husks in, sell it as "whole-grain chocolate"

[@GogetaSS40]

Seeing an actual candy bar bag carrying bag right before my eyes was one of the greatest experiences you've given me!!!

[@vigilantcosmicpenguin8721]

That makes this one of the most accurate recreations Babish has done.

[@csguak]

Yes! This music is back!!!

[@4rdency]

As someone who grew up in Ecuador, seeing Babish spend a day there filled me with joy I can't begin to describe. Happy 10 million subs! Here's to many more 🍻

[@syd2248]

Well this was probably the most nostalgia inducing episode of Binging with Babish. That Chocolate episode of SpongeBob is completely iconic. The triple chocolate purse reenactment at the end just filled my heart with so much joy😭🫶🏽Gonna go check out that cookbook now!

Finally someone who made legit chocolate without straight up using chocolate. I know chocolate was added a bit in the end but most of the hard work was already done

[@holdmeclosertonydanza22]

I don't remember the day I found this channel, but I know it was around five years ago, because that's when I started getting seriously into cooking. I had suffered a really significant trauma, and I found that cooking helped to take my mind off things. Finding your channel, for me, was like a storm-swept ship finding dry land. Thank you so much for all the work you've done. Your channel has contributed to my life so positively, and changed it for the better forever.

[@StopSpiderMan]

Really thought the ending would be Andrew running away after hearing someone scream, "CHOCOLATE!"

[@ChrisRider98]

10 million is insane! I've been here since you were in an apartment. This is fantastic.

[@Jayzone702]

I don’t think it’s a stretch to say almost no one on KZbin deserves this achievement more than you. One of the most original and entertaining channels there is and your dedication is unmatched. Congrats on 10 Mil Andrew!!

[@greekfire995]

This was the first channel to really get me into cooking. As such it holds a special place in my heart. I probably started watching it around 2018 and it's so great to see you guys reach such an astronomical amount of subscribers. Thank you so much for all you do! If not for this channel, I don't know how I'd have survived in the kitchen all these years.

[@raydivision6471]

I literally quoted the old lady scene from this episode earlier this morning and this showed up in my suggested videos

[@4dultw1thj0b]

I appreciate the effort put into this little tribute to the history and labor involved in producing chocolate, it's so easy to get detached from the roots and I think that's a big part of how so many workers get exploited.

[@symera7809]

I went on vacation to Costa Rica last year and we went to a chocolate farm there and did a chocolate tour. It was probably one of the most interesting experiences of my lifetime. And I call it a tour, but it was more of a three hour presentation about the history of cocoa and chocolate, with some awesome chocolate on the side. So, now I can tell you that chocolate was actually a side product that came into existence, because some guy left the grinding machine, that was supposed to just make cocoa powder, running overnight.

[@yasha451]

I was so happy to see the bags!

[@christienramirez8954]
