Everyone has already mentioned that the Hot Choclate ones should have been done with milk or, at least, less water. So all I'll add is perhaps they should include more instructions so that people aren't confused and know how to properly measure for the best result.

My experience with hot chocolate bombs are that you HAVE to use milk, and you put about half the liquid it calls for. That is the only way to make it taste decent/good. (If it calls for 8 oz milk, you want to use only 4 to 6 ounces.)

I felt that price point pain that was from the final advent calendar, because I did some looking up on the William Sonoma website...and that same advent calendar as of right now is on sale at $199.99, and the original price on the site itself is $299.99. You paid $536 for it....which is a $336 price difference. Whatever place sold you that advent calendar, jipped you of your money big time, and then some. I would highly suggest never purchasing anything from that place ever again, wherever that place was that had you pay that ridiculous sum of cash, and just stick to the official websites that sell them instead.

@jenniferwinn2919 6 месяцев назад

On the Canadian site it’s currently on sale for $299, regular $434.95. It’s entirely possible it was more expensive earlier in the year, or they’re considering shipping costs too. Either way, ridiculously overpriced.

Yes, I think the last one could become something used year after year as a "fill it yourself" advent calendar. That's the only way it would ever be able to redeem itself. The little drawers are good sized and look sturdy enough to put away and reuse. It's still too expensive, though.

@dresden123456 6 месяцев назад

A lot of comments on the 1st calendar so I'll add mine lol There's a difference in the way European styled hot chocolate and American is made. As an American your 1st instinct was to use hot water because I think that's how it's often made: hot water, cocoa powder with powdered additional ingredients. It makes for more liquidy hot chocolate. In Europe the 1st instinct would be hot milk and a literal piece of chocolate with additional stuff like heavy cream over a stove resulting in a thick consistency. Those chocolate bombs looked more European styled. Try again with half glass of milk and half glass of heavy cream, slowly heat over the stove and once hot add your chocolate bomb then.

@cassiscrowmatic 6 месяцев назад

Bonne maman is a very popular jam brand in France you can get at every local grocery store. a big jar of those (370g) costs 3,29 euros for the strawberry one at the supermarket near my house. The smaller packaging is sold usually in bundels, a little more expensive ( almost 8 euros for 5 little mini jars) than the bigger ones if you compare price/L but nowhere near 21 dollars... that's insane! I guess some other items in the calendar will be more expensive but still! Almost nothing in that calendar was worth even half that.

Are 12 day calendars something that is normal in the USA? I'm genuinely curious 😊

@ShannonStevens-gl7le 6 месяцев назад

They're often misunderstood. They're meant to be opened starting on Christmas day and each day going forward. The final day is the day of epiphany in Christianity. You know, like the 12 days of Christmas song. It's more common in some European countries I think. My family is germanic, we celebrate Yule starting on the solstice and begin out 12 days dec25.

@seraeggobutterworth5247 6 месяцев назад

They’re not actually Advent calendars, despite some of them being marketed with that name. Advent is the 24 days of December leading up to Christmas, whereas the 12 days of Christmas (like the song) are the days between December 25th and January 6th, which is the celebration of the Epiphany, aka Día de los Tres Reyes/Three Kings Day. According to lore, that’s the day when the three kings/magi/“wise men” showed up bearing gifts for Jesus. The 12 Days calendars have become more popular as demographics have shifted; we now have a lot more people in countries like the US and the UK celebrating Three Kings.

the moment of you saying "I THOUGHT HE WAS SAYING KNOB" about barry from SortedFood is so real. SO real. You and I had a TIL at the same moment

William Sonoma is absurd. They used to be much better but now they’re just profiting from the name and phoning it in on the quality.

My # 1 question maybe you'll answer for this glorious season: do you get to take all this stuff off as a business expense since your whole channel is about this? (I do realize you still need to make real revenue to make that fact a perk... lol)

@carmena6678 6 месяцев назад

well the video was sponsored so that ad money likely paid for the items + their time. and then come tax season, yes they can write off a portion of the purchases as business expenses. That's just my assumption though.

That last calendar was so so overpriced. Ok I now in America European products are really hyped in price. For context, those small little Bonne Maman Jams - you can get a big jar in the UK for about £3 for a 370g jar ($3.81). Those minis are not expensive at all! So that whole calendar is a total rip off! Wow - that’s not luxury at all! - merry Christmas to you both and of course Archie ❤ x

We have those jams in America too though.

Bonne Maman has their own advent calendar with 24 minis for $45 US dollars too.

Hot chocolate bombs are always disappointing why are they a thing

@hadiy101 6 месяцев назад

Okay, to be fair for the first one, I think using water for the hot chocolate brings it down 3 points on its own.

@vmcgriff 6 месяцев назад

I couldn’t afford any of them!! 😂 But I also liked the chocolate bar one best. I was also thinking the Williams and Sonoma one was cute because you could reuse it with new gifts each year… BUT that was before I knew the price 😱 Craziness!! Love your channel!! ❤

Always better with milk. Especially with real chocolate!

Why’d she think there’d be cocoa powder in there?!?! There’s NEVER cocoa powder in them unless you buy the specific ones who do 🤦🏼‍♀️

i am watching this 6 minute after you released it because i checked like 10 mins ago and there was nothing new i hadn't watched so when came i was so exited

@elizabethdankert1 6 месяцев назад

I bought these for my son. What i do is add it to regulr hot chocolate. Just for somthing fun for the kids. They are more novelty than a solution

@TheIcingArtist 6 месяцев назад

I think they could be great if you added in some of your own powder hot chocolate mix! I tried the chocolate by itself and it was pretty good, I think it just needs some powder mix!

I feel second hand embarrassment for putting them in water, lol Eeek. 😆

Chocolate and water should stay far away from each other.

@RoseRoxy 6 месяцев назад

well uhhh in the first one: 1) marshmallows do disolve naturally (really quick too, so I don't know what kind of marshmallow you usually have) And 2) you supposed to put it in milk, not water. I buy this kind all the time cause I hate cocoa but love chocolate. (but idk maybe this one specifically is just bad)

@TheIcingArtist 6 месяцев назад

Yours disolve??? I mean I guess after a super long time they do, but by the time I'm done mine they're just warm and gooey

@RoseRoxy 6 месяцев назад

Maybe they made somehow different in Europe? @@TheIcingArtist

@pinkysistamb 5 месяцев назад

I am shook at how expensive that last box was. I love marshmallows so I might be bougie and get that if it comes out again. Chocolate Smith definitely looked like the best advent calendar, so cute!

@quinnhen2325 6 месяцев назад

I make homemade marshmallows and they’re so good!!! Don’t need hot cocoa or anything with them. I just made gingerbread flavor and going to make coconut rum flavor in a bit. Want to try fireball whiskey flavor after that.
