welcome back everyone today we are going
0:03
to be making &em dream bars this is a
0:07
delicious treat perfect for Christmas
0:10
which is coming right around the corner
0:12
I have two lovely guests in the kitchen
0:15
today that are going to lend hands to
0:17
help make this treat I got my son Joseph
0:22
hello and his sweet girlfriend Megan
0:25
hello this is only a five ingredient
0:28
recipe we're not going to be baking
0:30
anything at all for this recipe it's as
0:32
easy as 1 two three I'm going to put
0:34
these two together and give them
0:38
directions let's do it let's do
0:42
it the first thing you want to make sure
0:45
you do before you start the recipe is
0:48
take a sheet of parchment paper or you
0:50
can even use nonstick foil and just
0:53
press it down into the baking dish like
0:56
this right here you want to have that
0:57
ready cuz as the mixture is being made
1:00
made and you're trying to do that it'll
1:02
harden up on you all right we're going
1:03
to set this aside and then we're going
1:07
chocolate now there's two ways to melt
1:10
chocolate you can do the double boiler
1:12
method which we're going to do or you
1:14
can do the microwave method which we're
1:16
not going to do doesn't work too well
1:19
for me but I love doing the double
1:21
boiler because it keeps the chocolate
1:23
smooth as you're working with it okay so
1:26
all you need is a medium saucepan now
1:29
I've put the burner on a high heat we're
1:31
going to add one cup of water to the pot
1:38
gotcha and then you want to place a
1:40
large bowl on top of the pot one that is
1:45
resistant now you can use like Pyrex
1:48
bowls like this or you can use stainless
1:51
steel bowls so what we're going to do is
1:53
bring that to a boil which will heat up
1:56
our bowl and help melt the chocolate
1:58
that we're going to put in
2:00
now you want to make sure that you don't
2:01
put too much water in your pot you don't
2:03
want it hitting the bottom of your bowl
2:05
or it will Scorch your chocolate the
2:08
first ingredient we're going to add to
2:09
our bowl is one cup of peanut butter all
2:12
right y'all measure it
2:15
out I'll try not to shake too
2:22
bad this is a great treat if you need
2:26
something to fill in some tins these
2:30
will be perfect for you to send to your
2:32
friends or family take to work and give
2:37
out if you're decorating a Christmas
2:40
tree it's a great treat to make and have
2:43
out for everybody you got it looks like
2:46
you do all right all right pop it in
2:49
there pop all right let's get a
2:52
knife and we'll just scrape that
2:56
off there we go B Bean
3:00
bomom why do you have me saying
3:06
okay now while that's going on in there
3:09
we're going to go ahead and open up one
3:11
bag of semisweet chocolate chips 12
3:16
oz and then Joseph's going to open up a
3:20
butterscotch morsel bag which is 11 oz
3:26
right I'll go ahead and open them up
3:35
good good scissors skills there
3:37
yep all right I'll sprinkle them
3:47
in you want to take a spatula and you're
3:50
going to move the chips and the peanut
3:52
butter around until it starts melting
3:55
now a good thing to have on hand is a
4:01
that way you can hold the bowl so it
4:02
doesn't get hot on your hand and hold it
4:05
in place now I'm going to let them do it
4:07
so they learn how to do a double boiler
4:10
method okay so what we're doing now is
4:12
we're just taking our spatula and we're
4:14
just kind of Smashing what's left of the
4:16
chips onto the bottom of the bowl there
4:18
that way it'll melt faster that
4:22
way okay look at that chocolate nice and
4:24
melted with the peanut butter and the
4:26
butterscotch chips nice and smooth
4:35
good we're going to be taking mini
4:37
marshmallows and we're going to add it
4:38
to the chocolate now you want to be
4:40
quick with this step so that the
4:41
chocolate doesn't like set up on you
4:43
okay so we're going to take an 8 oz
4:45
package of marshmallows put those in and
4:48
then we're going to add in about 2 oz
4:50
from the other bag because you want 10
4:52
oz total now we were lucky to find these
4:56
vanilla holiday mini marshmallows
5:00
adds another flavor to it it's green and
5:04
red ones all right Megan you're in
5:10
in and then Joseph's going to take his
5:13
spatula and get these all combined until
5:15
they're nice and coated and then Megan's
5:22
ounces that looks good all right Joseph
5:24
go ahead and start coating
5:26
them now if you want to add other
5:29
ingredients to this like some broken up
5:32
pretzels or peanuts or other type of
5:34
nuts or candies whatever you want to do
5:37
this is yours these are called &m dream
5:40
bars we're going to show you why here in
5:43
minute all right we're going to bring
5:45
our baking dish back over that we've got
5:47
lined with some parchment paper and once
5:50
he gets all that coated we're going to
6:01
now we're working with a five ingredient
6:03
recipe so we got one more ingredient
6:15
you now as we get the last mixture in
6:18
there Megan's going to take the spatula
6:20
and just kind of smooth it out in there
6:21
and make it nice and even we got to get
6:24
the last ones out of there oh yeah
6:31
now the bigger the size of your pan will
6:34
mean the thinner your bars okay and even
6:38
if you're using a 9 by9 that'll be a
6:41
really thick bar and you don't maybe you
6:43
don't really want that so 9 by3 seems to
6:46
be the size to use to get the perfect
6:51
bar okay we can't make these M&M dream
6:55
M&M's yeah oh these are peanut butter
6:58
M&M's holiday blend green and red so
7:02
who's going to open and who's going to
7:08
okay then she gets to press them
7:20
right now what you want to do is take a
7:22
spatula and just press down the M&M's
7:25
lightly you don't want to sink them down
7:26
in there but we do want them to be held
7:28
by that chocolate while it
7:35
perfect y'all it's going to look so
7:44
christmy all right now that we've mashed
7:46
all of the M&M's into the mixture we're
7:50
going to refrigerate or freeze this to
7:53
finish setting it up now if it goes in
7:55
the refrigerator it'll take a couple of
7:56
hours if you put it in the freezer it
7:58
should take about an hour maybe even
8:00
less than that so we'll be back cuz
8:03
these kids over here are going to cut
8:05
these into bars give them a try for
8:07
you all right so we've pulled this out
8:11
refrigerator and Joseph is cutting
8:14
