Candy Connection

Go

Yes! Hey, y'all. Today on Paula's Party, I'm craving sweets. You have hit pay dirt today, baby

It's all about candy. I'm going to be cracking up a nutty brittle with the Candyman

I just love you. I love you. And then I'm going to be whipping out my power tools

to make a coconut drop. Yummy, isn't it? So y'all bring your sweet tooth

Give mama a kiss and let's party! Oh, my goodness

Thank y'all. Are y'all hungry? Yes. You got a sweet tooth today, I hope

Yes. Like this big? Because you're in sugar heaven. We got a great big handsome man back here stirring a beautiful copper kettle pot full of sugar

Sugar and corn syrup. Sugar and corn syrup. Two and a half pound of butter

just a half a pound. So today's party is all about sweets

So what do you say? Let's get this party started. Y'all ready to party

Thank you. I appreciate it. Now, you be a good boy. I can't do a candy show without the real candy man of Savannah coming up here and helping me

His name is Stan Strickland. He is the owner of Savannah Candy Kitchens, and he makes the best brittle that you've ever put in your mouth

Stan, come on up here, baby. Thank you. Thanks, Paula. Boy, I've been dreaming of this

Oh, I've been dreaming of this, too. So this first recipe that we're going to do today is..

Paula's Nutty Brittle. Paula's Nutty Brittle. You know we always love to make peanut brittle, but we've made some just for you because we know the four nuts that you like the best

Almonds, cashews, pecans, and macadamia nuts. I'm going to even make a 10 to just sell in short time for Paula's Nutty Brittle

Special limited edition. Stan. Let's get these nuts in. What is it supposed to be, Stan

It's supposed to be at $2.95. Oh, gosh. We've already pre-roasted these

So that really pulled the flavor out of those nuts, didn't it? If you were doing this at home

you couldn't cook all these together at one time. You'd have to roast them separately because they get hard at different temperatures

And, Stan, you've even brought in like a marble top. Yes, 450-pound marble top

Local graveyard. Local graveyard? Cut that off. All right. This stuff really needs something that makes it really, really puff up

And that secret ingredient is salt and soda. Watch this, Paul. Okay

Stan, where did you learn the art of candy? My mom worked in a candy factory back when I was a little kid

Really? And she always made candy at home. Here in Savannah? No, down in a place called Woodbine, Georgia

Uh-huh. We're making a big batch large enough that everybody can have some

Good, good. We're not going to be eating in front of y'all today

We're going to be sharing our candy. Paula, you've got to put on some of these. Okay

Let's see. Oh, gosh, I almost feel a little bit. This will burn you

I almost feel like a little bit bad when I put these on the stand. Where's my whip

I'm not going there. You don't feel like a little whipping Stanton

All right. Now you grease this down, Stanton. With what? Butter. I don't know

Butter. Paula, I want you to, when we get it poured out, I want you to take the last little bit out

And then it will help us spread it, okay? Okay. Don't let it get on you. Y'all, when you're making brittle at home, that is the hottest hot in the world

Do I need to spread, Stanton? No, not wait. Let me get you a trial. Okay. Some cement

Now, give us a cut. Let's cut it back. Okay. Can you get that? Oh, gosh

Don't let it get on you. It smells so like butter. Oh, my God

I'm in heaven. Oh, good, good. Oh. Is that good or what

Oh, God. Oh, Lord. All right. Okay. All right. Here we go

Okay. We want to get these nuts spread evenly, evenly in this brittle

Yeah. Before we hand stretch it and turn it. Yeah, we're going to hand stretch it. You do that some

Don't get it on you, Paula, really. Okay. It is hot hot. Great time of day

Macadamia nuts? Oh, God, I love almost nuts. Yes. Oh. You're doing it perfect

Go ahead. I am. Oops. I think I've found me a new form of entertainment

We're going to be keeping it all from sticking while you're stretching

Oh, you're doing great, Paula. I didn't know if you could do that. Oh, yeah, I can do it, baby

Yes, you can. Concrete worker. Wait, what am I stepping on over here

Oh, I'm stepping on brittle. Good, Paula. It's hard, Stan. It's getting hard. Yeah

Oh, Stan. I'm speechless. I am, too. Oh, my goodness

All right, Stan, what do we got to do next? We're going to flip it, and then we're going to hand stretch it

so everybody in the audience will have enough. That's great. When we come back, we're going to flip, break, and eat

So we'll see y'all back here in just a second. Woo! Woo

Coming up, we're finishing up our nutty brittle. Yum. And later, a homemade candy bar, a sweet salty treat

Look how perfect. Welcome back, y'all

Y'all, I'm here with Stan Strickland. Stan the candy man here in Savannah We making Paula nutty brittle Do I have that knife up underneath Good good I like to get it on the other side I get it

Oh, you're going to get it? Go ahead. I'll get it. We're letting it cool just to where we think we can handle it

flip it without tearing it up. Can we get it thin enough? You did pretty doggone good

Let's cut this thing in half, Paula. Okay. I think it's too big. Stand back

No, no, no, Paula. It's easy. Easy? Yeah. Let's walk down the hill

Why walk down the hill when you can run, Stan? You're getting it

Come on. Uh-huh. Oh, wait. I was using not the blade. All right. There you go

Don't let me cut you. See, if we pull it now, it's going to tear. You've got to wait a minute. Uh-huh

Don't we want it to kind of tear? Yeah, but after we get a little cooler, we want to stretch it. Look

Yeah. Stretch it. It's crunching over here. Phew. Boy. I know it

I'm hot and tired, ain't you? You want a cigarette? Oh, man

I'm done. No, you ain't, baby. I ain't doing what you get

You got me speechless. Let's see if we can flip it. Come around this side, Paula

Don't get that on your butt. That's hot. That's like a hot poker. All right

We're going to try to turn this whole thing. One, two, three, go

Yes. Now let's pull it. Now pull it. That's okay. Come here, Paula

Look at that, y'all. Look. Paula, come here. Let's do it again. You have messed up my floor, Stephen Strickland

Bubba will take care of it. Let's go. One, two, three, go. All right

Stretch. Wait. I'm folding up. Stretch it. Look at me, Stan. I am ruined

And butter. I am ruined. No, you're great. Look, I got butter all over me

Well, does everybody want some brittle? Come on out, girls. Follow while everybody's getting some brittle

We're going to let this cool a little bit more. And then I got a special surprise. See that chocolate machine over there

We got milk chocolate there. We're going to dip some in chocolate. Then we're going to maybe change a little bit, do some white chocolate on that

Then you've really got something. All right, well, I'm ready. I've got my piece. Bring it on

This is really like Willy Wonka, isn't it? We watch that every month just to stay in June

Is this the way we do it? Drop it in. Drop it in

Just go in and come out. Come out. Come out. Go in. Hold it right there

Yeah. Hold it right there. Let it stay right there. That's what's happening, Paula

That's okay. All right, now, let here. Well, wait, I got another end. Uh-oh

Gee, what is... Is that a sharp blade? No, it's not sharp

Carla! Go. Go. Oh, man, come on. No

All right, we're going to let that cool. It takes a little bit of time to cool. And this is what we wanted to end up as

We've already dripped some in white and some in milk, and then we've taken some white drizzle

I love that piece. You like that? That is a beautiful piece. I'm talking about your gloves

Oh. I feel like all these. Come here, Stan. Stan, come here

You know what? I just love you. I love you. You do

Give me a kiss. I love you, though

I love you, too. I love that. You're so sweet. All right, we need one drizzler

What do we drizzle with? We're going to put that white chocolate on it. Okay, we drizzle with a spatula

Let's find something to dry this off. We would do this a little differently at work, okay

But you're good at making a mess. Go ahead. Drizzle it up

Okay. Just what you, see how we did? You do it any way you want to. Oh, I'll do it like I want to, yeah

Who didn't know that? I like it in circles. I like that

And if we keep that at about room temperature even at 65, is that good

65 or 70 degrees, it'll get up just like this. Not rush it

Oh, that's good, tasty. Ain't that yummy? Yeah. They all be on

That's a glazed. Is that good or what? Here. Oh, my gracious

So how'd y'all like the peanut brittle? It's yummy, isn't it? Y'all have some nuts to go with it

We'll be right back, y'all. It's all about candy today. Catch it, Bubba

Up next, it's caramel, nuts, and marshmallow. A very sweet love affair

You have hit pay dirt today, baby. And later, I'm going to be putting some power behind a coconut recipe

Go ahead, Palmer. You'll get in there. Oh, my goodness

Y'all are great guests. I'm having so much fun. You know, I almost wore myself out a while ago with all that brittle

And did y'all see what I looked like when I left? I had butter all down the front

I had peanut brittle all over me. And look here. Do you see I'm spotless

Can any of y'all tell me what I did during the break

What did I do, honey? Change your clothes? Nope. What, honey? What do you think I did

I think you put your shirt on backwards. I did! All the gunk's back there

All the butter and peanut brittle is on my back. But in looking at y'all, I look fresh, don't I

So I'm going to share with y'all my recipe for salty dogs

It's a homemade candy bar that's both sweet and salty. I'm using a package of butterscotch morsels

And we're going to just melt those up. And when they get soft and pliable again, I'm going to add one cup of marshmallow cream and a half a cup

See, this recipe is really very good for you because I'm adding a half a cup of powdered milk

And that's supposed to be good for you, right? Oh good Y are gullible too Y ain just pretty All right so this is softening up some So I going to take our marshmallow cream

All right, now I'm going to stir in the milk, the dried milk

Now, what about those questions? Y'all are not talking to me. Paula, you look great

How do you stay so skinny? With all that butter and chocolate

Now, you're pulling my leg, aren't you? No, I'm serious. I'm actually a marathon runner

I thought so. So that keeps me pretty much in shape. Y'all believe that, don't you

I'm going to add one teaspoon of vanilla. What did you say

I thought I saw you running outside. Well, I was. In your spandex? In my spandex

And my, what kind of bra do they call that thing? Sports bra

Yes, I was in my sports bra. And Michael was with me

You know, if we're going to lie, let's just go ahead and lie big time. All right, y'all

Now, I've got that mixed up. Now, I'm going to move this over. Well, thank you for the compliment, but you're so sweet to say that

You make an old lady feel good. But now I've accepted my size and who I am today, and I'm very comfortable with that

I'm fluffy and very happy. All right, sweet pea, you've got something to say

How much is Jamie enjoying being dad? Oh, my goodness. You know, I had this sneaking suspicion that Jamie was going to be a fabulous father

He's amazing. He brought that baby home from the hospital, and he immediately started taking care of that baby

He's a dedicated, fabulous father, and I'm so proud of him. He's taken to it like me to a salty dog

So all we're going to do is form these. Now, you can make them any size

You can see I made mine a little bigger. The kitchen has gotten me started

So I'm going to come over here now and take our fingers

and I'm going to dip them in to a melted caramel. Yeah, look at that

And these are kind of messy. But the children love getting in the kitchen and helping out with this stuff

because it is kind of messy. It's kind of one of those just fun candies to make

Now, I'm rolling this in peanuts. And then I'm going to put it on my parchment paper and let them dry out a little bit. After I rolled it in the nuts, I dip it in chocolate

Now I got my melted chocolate back here

And now I'm going to just take these and roll it. No I ain't

Look how perfect. And that's milk chocolate. That other I have is dark chocolate

Whoa! Oh, man, I lost one. You want to say something? Well, by golly, you say it, baby

Paula, I just want to say I disagree with the slim thing. I think you got a plum, juicy thing going on, and it looks good to me

You don't think I'm skinny? No. You look good to me. You have hit pay dirt today, baby

All right. Because this ain't no exactly a giada sitting here. Okay

This is a gorgeous woman sitting here. You're so sweet. Listen. Paula

I don't care whether you have money for glasses or not. You don't need those glasses

I don't need them. I don't need them. You know, just because you were so generous with your compliments

I get some candy. You get some candy. All right. This is probably not hard enough, but that's all right

All right. What did you say? All right. That's delicious. Paula and peanuts

It's going to get even sweeter, y'all. Stick around. We'll be back in a couple of minutes

Thank you. Coming up, coconut candy with a chocolate twist. And later, fudge and a flash

Y'all, we're having a sugar-coated party today. We've gone nutty with the Candyman's Brittle

in a homemade candy bar. Oh, my goodness. That is so good

Had the audience just here eaten out of the palm of my hand. In a minute, y'all, I'm going to be taking out my power tools

Stand back, women at work here. For a real sweet coconut candy

Welcome back. Thank y'all. Y'all are so kind. Welcome back. For y'all that just tuned in out there

we have been in a candy wonderland today, hadn't we? It's just candy everywhere

And this show, this celebration, this party would not be complete without a dish that I want to share with y'all next

And I want to set this guest up just a little bit. My children have a show called Road Tasted

And my children went to Key West and visited this bakery. They fell in love with this woman and her food

Henrietta, come on up, dear. Hello, Paula. It is so good

It is so wonderful to be here, Paula. I am just delighted to have you

It always warms my heart to see people do well, and especially women

When you've got a mom and pop business and anybody shines a little light on you, it helps so much

It helps a lot. It really helps. So tell me how you started your business. It's called

The Art of Baking by Henrietta. Coconut is my thing. I say you get a Georgia peach and an island coconut together, you don't know what you might get

Because you are actually a Georgia girl, aren't you? I am a Georgia girl

Well, I was born and raised 35 miles from here, Liberty County. Yes, that's where my father lives now

Well, when I watched this show that you did with the boys, I was all but licking the TV screen

But you making coconut drops Coconut drops Were you ready to get started Yes I am And listen I understand Henrietta Yes Oh I was over there flirting with this good guy

Yes. I found out it was your son. That's my son. You know, your son's got away with words

Yes, he does. Well, what is all this? Do you actually have this in your..

Oh, yes. Oh, yes, Paula. You know, Henrietta, if I had had things like this in my kitchen when I first started out

I could possibly be serving jail time. Paula. For killing folks. Let me tell you

So we're opening these up so we can get to that coconut meat inside

First of all, we're going to, let me give you this. Okay. And you're going to put that there

And you're going to just hammer his eyes out. Okay. Because we have to drain the coconut milk out

There you go. Henrietta, the first. Paula, Paula, you were squeezing his head too tight, Paula

I did. I got too big a grip on him. Look, he bursted

Look at that, Paula. You were squeezing his head a little bit too tight. Well, you got to have it

You've got to have it tight so you can... Henrietta, the first time

Oh, my milk! That's okay. Oh, Paula, this is really... Okay, okay

Oh, there's a lot of water in there, though. I've never seen that much milk in a coconut before

Uh-oh. I mean, I busted him, didn't I? You busted his head, Paula

Well, let's just kind of... All right. Let's just kind of... Now, see if you can get this

Now, how much should I yield out of there, do you think? These water coconut

Out of a coconut, mm-hmm. Probably a cup, and if it's a big coconut, you might get more than a cup up

Yes, come down. We're just peeing coconut milk everywhere. Get up here, Hans

Okay, come on. You help Paula with the... Help Paula? Well, she's doing a pretty good job herself

Okay, I'll just... Okay. You're not going to smash me, are you? No

I'm going to try not to. Did you get through? Yeah, you were through there

I'm done. You're done? Very good. I got me three holes. Okay

You got three holes? I got three holes. Now, let's see how much water come out of there, Paula

It was leaking while you were doing it. Yes. Okay, Paula, we're going to put yours back in

Okay. But put it this way now because we're going to... Okay. Eyes out

Get your goggles on, Paula. Now, this is going to mess up my hair, do you

I don't have no guard. Henrietta? Are we going scubaing or? No, we're going to

This is going to mess up my hair. Now, that's great. Uh-huh

All right, Paula. Stand back. Women at work here. Great. Time of day

Oh, no, you can't do that. You got to hold it with both hands. Well, who's going to hold my glasses

Yeah, I'll hold your glasses. Okay, you hold my glasses. All right. My thing ain't on here straight, Henrietta

It's not. I think because it's broken, it's... All right, let's go

Carla, you see that groove right there? Put it in that groove

Very good, Carla. Yeah, you're doing good. Very good. Very good. Yeah

Is it hard? It's going, Paula? You better hold up with both hands

I couldn't see. Okay, I'm about there. You're about there? Go ahead

Keep it going. Keep it going. There you go. Keep your hand on there

Go ahead, Paula. You're getting there. Press the button hard. Yeah, there you go

There you go. There you go. Go ahead. You know what, Henrietta

That's a great caller. You know what? What happened? I don't think I like coconut that much

You don't think you like coconut that much? Oh, I'm sweating. I'm going to sit back down

I think y'all got it. You think? You got it. This is what it looks like when we finish cutting

Shut up, Henry. Listen, y'all, I got to take a break. I got to go fix my hair

We'll see you back in a second. Up next, it's a chocolate finish for this sweet coconut candy

And later, a candy bar fit for Queenie. And I get to eat it

Yes, you do. Thank you

You still look pretty. I'm here with Henrietta, y'all, in case y'all have just tuned in

We just cut our coconuts. Yes, we did. All right, now what are we going to do now

Now we have to take the coconut meat out of the coconut

You can have that one. And I'll take this one. And the way I do it, Paula, I just like cut down and do a twist, and it pops right out

Yeah. So you go ahead and do a twist. Yeah. And just see, it comes out like this, and it pops out

But it takes a while, so you got it. Henrietta, the first time I ever used a fresh coconut

I chased that sucker all around the garage with a hammer. With a hammer, huh

With a hammer. Yeah. And my grandma wasn't home. When I finally got her, I said

Grandmama, I have spent the afternoon chasing around a coconut. She said, Paula, you're supposed to put them in the oven

Yes. Have you ever heard of that? No, tell me about that, Paula. Well, she told me to put that coconut in the oven

heat it on like 250 degrees, and then it'll split nicely because we didn't have all this stuff in our kitchen

Paula, now let me show you this. Okay, show me. This looks like a pretty young coconut

It's got a smoother skin. And that's what you want, a young coconut? Well, I give them old, young, middle-aged

But this is how it looks when it's all done. It's very nice and it's cleaned up

and washed and cut in bite-sized pieces. Two medium coconut, we're gonna put it in a pot

All right, now we're using a cast iron. That is excellent. I like cooking this in cast iron pots

It cooks it much better. Now, there's three ingredients to this candy

Just three ingredients, fresh coconut, fresh ginger root, and natural brown sugar

Now, the ginger root has already been cut up. So we put this in here

Now, let me say this. That's a lot of ginger, and to me, ginger's strong. It is strong, but I'm not putting all this ginger

And this was two pounds in it. Well, it looks like you are. No, no, I think that's enough

A little more. Let me tell you about the ginger. Ginger has lots of fiber in it

So when you're eating this candy, as I'm pointing this way, when you're eating this candy, that's the fiber in the ginger

It's not hair in the coconut. Because it has a lot of fiber

A lot of fiber is good for all of us. Now you cook this, Paula, for three to four hours

Wow. With the ginger, just the ginger and the coconut. Because you have to cook it that long to get the taste of the ginger all through the coconut

So it has to be cooked that long. And it actually tinges the coconut up

And tell me about the water real quick, like Henrietta. On the first stages of cooking it for the three to four hours, you can fill your pot up and let it boil

It has to boil for three to four hours. And you just keep adding water to it

Okay, well, we don't have three or four hours, do we? No, we don't. So this here, this shows you that, now this coconut has been cooked for four hours with the ginger

And then you put, where's our sugar? Here. Oh, this is nice, natural sugar

Naturally, baby. Only the best for you. Only the best. We're going to add four cups of brown sugar to it

Okay, Paula, you can stir it up. Okay. And then you'll let that boil

Now, how long are we going to cook this for, Henrietta? This should cook at least 30 to 40 minutes

You start it out with a roaring boil. And then it cooks right down

But when it's finished, we should not have any liquid. It should be like a candy steak

A syrup-like. A syrup. All right. Now, this is what it looks like after we let it cook down

Okay, there we go. Now, you see that it's turning to store

Yeah, see how it's sticking it up? It's cooking right down. Now, at the end of this, you don't want to see any of that syrup in there

It has to cook all the way down. And optional, I do this

I take recipes, and I make them my own. I do what I want to do with them, you know

Which is great. One of the things I do sometimes is throw some pecans in there and let it cook down with it

Let's do, let's do. You want to push out? Yes. Okay, Paula. I love pecans. See

You know, that looks good, Paula. Well, I was going to put all in there, but I need to save some

Oh, well, I can get you some more nuts, honey. This ain't no cheap show

You throw all your nuts in there. Now, that looks very good

I mean, that gets cooked down. It does look delicious. See the next step is when it cooks down you going to take this like this and you going to drop it on a non floor to keep it from sticking How long does that take to set up Not long at all

I like to let it set about 15 minutes to make sure the inside the sugar is cold and set inside

But this is the finished product. This is what it should look like. Yes

Look at that. It looks like coconut sitting on top of a praline, doesn't it

Don't put that in some chocolate. You want me to put this in some chocolate

Honey, anything, I'll do anything you tell me to. All right, let's see

Because you can put, yes. But this, you dip it in the chocolate

Listen. Oh, my goodness. You have a good time with this chocolate fountain, don't you, Paul

Yes, I do. Yes, I do. You know, and that's so important that we have fun with our food

Don't you think, Henrietta? It's very. You know, this is a wonderful gift that God gave us

Yes, it is. The pleasure of being in the kitchen with family and friends and eating

Isn't it wonderful to be able to taste? I know. That's the most when you taste

Now, Paula, let's come over here with this. And now this is also a way

Now, as soon as you take it from the chocolate, you can put the nuts on it

And it looks like a big, you know those candy called a turtle? You know the..

I'm very familiar with a turtle. You're very familiar with it. But this is the..

Now, that's the finished product with the nuts and the chocolate. Look at this, Paula

You see how it's cooking down? You see that, sir? Look at that. It's cooking right down

That pot's got it going on. I love this pot. Can I take it back to Key West

Yeah. This is great. I would love for you to have my pot

Yes? That's a great pot. Henrietta. Yes, Paula. This is so good

And the ginger flavor, y'all, is so totally unexpected. I bought one for everybody in the audience today. Yay

I'm so glad to hear that because I didn't know I was going to share this one

We'll be back in a minute. Thank you, Henrietta. Coming up, chocolate fudge, y'all

and something so sweet gonna make you teeth fade. Is this chocolate

Solid chocolate. Welcome back

Thank y'all, thank y'all, thank y'all. I can't believe that an hour together

is almost up. But I've got just about five or six minutes

that I can share one last recipe with y'all. And I call it dummy fudge

If you can make this fudge you a real dummy So I need a dummy My buddy Stan Strickland is sitting here waving his hand saying I the dummy Paula

This man ain't no dummy. You saw him earlier on the show with me, and he is a candy man here in Savannah

All right, now I was your assistant, Stan, earlier. And a great one

Thank you, helping you make your brittle. So why don't you come be my assistant and help me make this dummy fudge

You want to? Can't wait. I'll do everything you tell me to do. Suck

That's kind of a tight squeeze. That's really tight. This is the easiest fudge to make, Stan

And I know you make delicious fudge down there, don't you? I think we do

It's the first product I ever made. Really? Yeah, fudge was mine personally

Fudge was your first product. Well, I'm going to start by using a cup of chocolate morsels

and a cup of butterscotch morsels. And a 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk

I make a fudge that's real, real easy to make. But, you know, I save that for days that we're wanting to eat healthy

because I use a processed cheese to make that fudge. So that's my healthy, healthy version of fudge

But we're going to take this, and all we're going to do is just stir this stand until it melts

You want me to do that? Yeah, you do it. Knock yourself out

Look at the camera, Stan. And stir? Yeah, stir and look at the camera

Okay. I want y'all to see his pretty blue eyes. He looks like Paul Newman, doesn't he? About the same age

No, I think he's got you beat, doesn't he? Maybe a little, not much

But tell me about a Christmas special you did with a couple of hunky-looking boys

It was great. Jamie and Bobby gave me a call, and they were doing the road tested

Road tasted? Tasted. I said tested one time before. I talked them into coming to see us, and they watched us make our stuff

and said, you guys need to get ready. You're going to sell a lot of stuff. I said, well, we're used to selling a lot of stuff

Not. We were not ready for what happened. What happened? What happened was the first hour that it showed

the next two hours we took 700 or 800 web orders, not counting the phone

In the first hour. Yeah, and then we had to cut the phones off about three days before Christmas

Did you really? Yes, it was the first time in 30 years we had to stop shipping candy

You don't mean it. Yeah, it was a great feeling, though. All right, honey, take that off the heat

Going this way? Just take this off the heat. Okay. There you go

We're going to stir in, oh gosh, about a teaspoon of vanilla

That smells good. And about a cup of nuts. You can use any kind of nuts you want

I like pecans, though, for fudge. And we just gonna stir that together and then we gonna just pour our little concoction into a buttered 9x9 dish Okay And it will take but about maybe 10 minutes for this to chill down in the refrigerator

so we can cut it and eat it. Could we taste something like this before we did that

You can taste it any way you want to. We've got any way to get it

Oh, yeah. We've got fingers. We've got the best tools in the world right here

Uh-huh, just pour that on in there. Look at that creaminess of that

Can you see it? That really got a great texture, Paula. Oh, it looks so good

What do you call it? Dummy fudge. Dummy fudge. That's why you got me, eh

You just stood out in that crowd stand. Thank you very little

All right, look at here. I think we got a little bit of ours. That was ours. Huh

Oh. Oh, that was our fun. Well, here. Look at me. All right, so taste

That's really good. Isn't that good? Five-minute dummy. I like it. All right, well, look

I've got some that's chilled off. And you know what? This is rich stuff, so you want to cut little tiny kind of pieces

Because if it's rich, you don't want a lot of it? That does not sound like the typical woman, does it

No, it does not. I can't believe how good that looks. All right, the first piece is yours, honey

Thank you. Before we taste it, let's make a toast. You want to

Love to. What are we going to make? A toast to a really sweet day

I think that's a great toast. Can I bite? You bite it, baby

I've got something for you. There is no party without something that's called a favor

Come stand right here. And we have a favor we especially made for you, okay

Stand over here close. I wondered what this big thing was. Easy. Easy

We made about 15 or 20 of these molds, and we went from 60 pounds to 23, which this one is

until we could ever get it to firm up right and get it right. Is this chocolate

Solid chocolate. And I get to eat it. Yes, you do. Stan, I just love you

Thank you. I love you, too. Where's Michael? I don't know where he is, but he's going to love me

You're so sweet. Thank you. Hope all your parties are sweet out there

Thanks for spending the hour with us. We love you. Bye
