[@IAMDRMERVRENBARRON]

Making popping candy requires a pressurised environment. Something Clair could not do as she lacks the tools required to do such a thing, and she doesn't seem like the kind of lass that'd take the kitchen to the machine shop, and the machine shop to the kitchen. Long story short, you need to carbonate molten sugar in the same manner you'd do a sparkling drink, and then cool it rapidly to form what are effectively millions of teeny tiny compressed air bombs inside sugar, so as the sugar dissolves into the water in your saliva, all these bubbles of compressed CO2 can finally explode. Thankfully, these bubbles are so small that they're safe to us. This however, due to liquid sugar not being as willing to dissolve gas in, like cold water (hot things in general don't like dissolving gases into them, which is why cold water fish will suffocate in warm waters, due to the lack of dissolved oxygen they can get into their gills), means that this takes like 40 bar worth of pressure which is kinda scary to even think about for even 100 grammes of sugar. Seeing as your average bottle of coke is at around 3 bar (1 bar being roughly equivalent to an atmosphere's worth of pressure's difference), and that can do scary things if it fails to keep that pressure inside, or vented safely. 40 bar worth of pressure is something you need deliberate investment into to be safe. You could "cheat" and use bicarbonate of soda and citric acid like some fizzing candies do, but they don't have the same explosive popping mouthfeel due to a slower chemical reaction, more akin to sherbet. For Clair's sake. I really hope she doesn't do pop rocks. Their insurance likely doesn't cover it.

Yea, but Pop Rocks is more of an engineering project than a culinary one. Ben from the channel Applied Science made it if you are interested (just search applied science pop rocks). Claire is not going to be able to do it. It requires vigorously mixing molten sugar in a 600 psi CO2 chamber. He had to make the apparatus (had to turn custom parts on a lathe) and said it was more difficult than making aerogel.

"They start with the five main ingredients, which are sugar, corn syrup, gelatine, air and LOVE" Oh my God

[@EmmyDereest]

Peeps are full of love tho

[@brandyw.8034]

First thing I ever had where love was listed as a ingredient on the package was a kombucha tea. It is still the grossest thing I have ever tasted. Don't trust anything that lists LOVE as an ingredient.

[@Theknees19]

@@brandyw.8034 they tryna cover the sht taste with "love" which actually highlight those tastes😂😭🤢

Brad reminds me so much of Teddy from Bobs Burgers and i only ever hear him whenever Brad makes an appearance it's ADORABLE.

"Seriously people have never been nicer... ok... cut." That was so endearing :-( Claire, lemme give you a hug.

[@mirajane6452]

Lady: the 5 main ingredients are sugar, corn syrup, gelatine, air and love Claire: Oh my god. HAHAHHAAHHA

[@CriAleMar]

Fun fact: According to the FDA, you cannot claim on the ingredients list that Love is in a food

[@ThingsiHateLots]

Yeah I DIED

[@mayap.3884]

claire almost crying after being praised by her friends and coworkers is the fattest mood i’ve ever seen on this show

[@bbbooij]

she definitly should read more praise comments, she deserves all the compliments!!!

[@Annie-cs]

You know... we annoyed Chris so much with the tempering chocolate, now its Claire's turn with pop rocks!

[@jbaby362]

I love how they tried to assert at the top of the episode that one of the primary things about a peep is that they are exactly that shape and well piped. I have never had a set of peeps where there wasn't one that looked like a gargoyle

[@pucksoffendingshadows]

How about "Pastry Chef Attempts to Stay Illness Free for a Month" Love you, Claire!
