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

[@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.

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.

[@nooblonium]

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!).

It would’ve been cool to see the actual cacao from Ecuador be brought to New York but this is still great

[@amandac.s.9452]

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.

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

[@bharbir]

That intro was a pretty solid action film setup!! 10/10 would watch!

[@sonubaba7446]

[@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!

He’s made the same about of Binging episodes in the last 1.5 years that he did in like 2.5 months back when his channel was growing. It’s basically just Alvin’s channel with some random videos with Andrew here or there-few of which are Basics or Binging.

[@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.

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.
