I Melted Every Halloween Candy Together

HELLO FRIENDS!! Yes, we did something bad. Now, as you guys may know... I love halloween. From the spooky decorations to the costumes, to the candy, oh yes, THE CANDY. From Snickers to Skittles to every Reese's shape imaginable, I am a halloween candy fiend.
So I had a horrible idea that I decided to act upon: what if we tried to melt every halloween candy together into a single franken-candy... the one candy to rule them all, and in the darkness, satiate my desire for an entire bucket of halloween candy in just one bite?
Well, I guess we're gonna find out. Because that's what this video is about.
Big thank you to Mat & StephPat from the Theorists, as well as Danielle & Karla from Escazù for being the guest tasters of our franken-candy bar!! You can find them here:

HELLO FRIENDS!! today we made the ultimate FRANKEN CANDY BAR by melting together every halloween candy we could find!! 🍫✨ yes we are well aware that this thing is borderline radioactive, but don't worry, it's just for me (and some friends) - although we do have some subscriber giveaways coming up soon!! let me know - would you guys actually want to try this?? and if so, who hurt you? xoxo, saf

Fun fact: the mystery flavor dum dums are made when they're changing a flavor drum over to a new flavor. Instead of cleaning the remnants of the old flavor out, they just add the new one in and let the old flavor fade out, so they're always a mix of two flavors in a random ratio.

An occasional haunted house and giant blow ups of “scary” icons like Jack from the nightmare before Christmas. Adults in their finest spooky gear getting blasted lit on their front lawns welcoming passer-byers some food they had out. Always a blast to walk around dressed up even if you weren’t trick or treating, even more so when you know the ppl in the neighborhood.

Candy fun facts: Candy Corn, also called Chicken Feed, has the flavors of honey, sugar, butter, and vanilla, and while people often hate it, its the top selling candy in the US with M&M's being a close second. Circus Peanuts taste like banana. Frank Mars, inventor of the Snickers, named the bar after his favorite horse named Snickers. The inventor of the Lollipop, George Smith, also named it after a favorite racehorse. Artificial banana flavor is supposedly based on an extinct banana, the Gros Michel banana, instead of the modern Cavendish, though most chemists think it's just because banana candies tend to use isoamyl acetate or 'banana ester' that smells very like banana, though it and the Gros Michel do taste similarly 'fake'. If you dilute isoamyl acetate it apparently smells like pears! (its also the compound that bees release when they sting you to attract more bees!) And last fact, if you want to blow a big bubble with bubble gum, you have to chew until it has no flavor/sugar in it! Sugar doesn't stretch, so if its still sweet you won't get decent bubbles.

[@Melissa-sx9vh]

As someone who doesn't live in the US and has never tasted candy corn, I thank you for your explanation and for your candy history!

[@Imbatmn57]

I think i was alive when the extinct bananas around and they tasted exactly like banana candies.

[@Sharauni]

@@Imbatmn57 That's because the Gros Michel apparently contains a ton of isoamyl acetate compared to the Cavendish! So yeah, if you've tasted one I totally get that^^ Another fact about it is that it's the same compound that bees release when they sting you to attract other bees, lol^^

I can't believe she can afford a whole basketful of candy.

[@birches_be_crazy]

They did a lot of testing to work out the process off camera before the main filming, so they needed the bulk.

[@makerofthebroken]

I want to go candy shopping like that so bad...but once that candy came in my door it would never see the light of day again.

[@peterbrix1155]

No idea how I stumbled across this channel but boy I'm impressed

[@Stop_It_Just_Stop]

I love how they used the decorations they bought to show off candy throughout the video 😂

[@valatrix711]

Gotta write off those costs for taxes

[@wonderlandzer0]

Tax write off! 😂

[@m_here1]

This video just proves that no retail store is safe from Safiya’s shenanigans

[@lisahenry20]

I'd love to know what was going through the cashier's mind. Probably "wow, they must be having a crazy halloween party" or "they must be expecting a lot of visitors"

Really cool vid! I enjoyed watching this in like 5-10min sessions, very good quality and clear segments :)

There's a gummy/popping candy/chocolate bar from Cadbury called a "marvellous creations" bar. Texturally somewhat similar???

[@angela_flute52689]

You really went ham on the candy aisle! A tip for the double boiler with chocolate: DON'T put the lid on because you don't want any condensation getting into the chocolate. Water will make the chocolate grainier, so you have to keep the temperature low enough to not have so much steam getting in there either and just wait for it to slowly melt. Low temps also help it not get overcooked. I do chocolate dipping every year and it helps the chocolate be smoother for that too. I really want to try the chocolate combo!

[@lieeeleeee]

I saw them put the lid on and was like huh??????? I mean I had no idea *why* you aren’t meant to put the lid on just that never in my life have I seen anyone put the lid on a double boiler of chocolate 😅

[@hermione9001]

Thank you! I was looking for this comment. The texture was bound be weird but the chocolate definitely seized as well.

[@driverjayne]

As a former chocolate shop manager their double boiler hurt my soul

[@lifewcockapooz8103]

I know this isn't really what you normally do but I would absolutely love to see a chill vlog or series where you just vlog travelling and settling in to new places and exploring ect, but obviously only if you want to do it ❤ Stay safe glad to see you're finding your place(s) in the world

Saafiya really is in a different tax bracket for buying all this candy BEFORE halloween!

[@paulafamularo5001]

Seems like a huge waste of money, especially when there are millions of Americans that can’t buy food for their families.

[@mmmdraco]

​@@paulafamularo5001She already said any extras would go to family and friends for trick or treating and therefore make its way out into the community. Saafiya will make money on this video to offset the cost of everything. If either of those weren't the case, it might be a waste, but Halloween is exactly when kids from families who don't have a lot can still usually get their fill of candy by just going door to door.

[@fluffylittleclouds1]

​@@paulafamularo5001This is her job. Spending money to earn money. If she wants to donate, that's up to her. Same goes for you and me. & I don't think poor people are that concerned about candy, but rather about a decent meal.

As someone who moved to the UK from the U.S. This fed my nostalgic spooky soul that I've been missing for the last few years. And yes, it's May right now.

Dinner party at Safiya and Tyler’s: ”Oh, no don’t use that pan, that’s our melting lollipops-pan” ”Oh and not that pot, a demon blueberry candle haunts it” ”oh… not the baby frying pan either… lets just go out for dinner” 😂

[@Isabelcc__0]

for christmas she should melt together every candy cane together

[@brookeg5979]

Considering that in addition to all of the brands making their own versions (skittles, starburst, lemonheads, et al) they now make candy canes in ketchup, mac & cheese, caesar salad, sourcream and onion, butter, brisket, hot dog, pickle, bacon, kale, sardine, and yes, possum flavors, that could be a really interesting video. (And if you want any of those weird ones, Archie McPhee online is your hook up)

Candy corn is actually what's known as a "mellowcreme" candy. It was traditionally made with butter, honey, and vanilla (amongst other stuff) which gives it it's signature flavor. TLDR: Candy corn is honey/vanilla/butter flavored
