I Tried Making Homemade Cosmic Brownies | Claire Recreates

What was your favorite snack when you were a child?

I like that Claire is enjoying herself in this series.

Crazy how there’s no comments about the amazing camera work in this episode. The chocolate chip shots were so good! Also the camera people and Claire make such a good team, they are so supportive.

my favorite part of these videos is when claire briefly becomes an inventor

I’m so happy she remade the show as her own. The lack of stress in these new episodes vs the beginning of her recreating foods is a remarkable difference.

Never have I ever seen Claire temper chocolate so calmly!!! 😂 it feels full circle!!!

Zooming in on the cat making biscuits while Claire makes brownies warms my heart. And just seeing Claire relaxed and laughing while doing these is nice. I really enjoy this series when it seems like people are having fun with it. Thanks for doing it 😊

Listening to Claire explain why she likes making the Claire Recreates videos made my heart so happy. We always wanted Claire to just have a good time and not be stressed out/feel forced to make the videos she didn't want to make. Seeing it come full circle from having to routinely make gourmet versions in a work environment where all that mattered were views and making money- to now having the freedom to create the videos the way Claire wants to, without the pressure, mandatory layout, negative energy or working overtime/feeling burnt out is so wonderful. And frankly, quite badass. We love you Claire <3

Love this! As a European who has never eaten or seen these snacks, I don't watch it for sentimental reasons - I just love watching Claire problem solve and get creative. My European wish list: Solero ice cream, Kinder eggs, Werthers originals, Daim bars.

Loved seeing Claire truly upgrade these. That was always my favorite part early in the totally different and legally distinct series - watching her not just exactly replicate something, but actually make it delicious.

I legit almost teared up when you were talking about how this is a culmination of your life's work 🥹 So happy you're enjoying this series, Claire

This amount of difference from original product to gourmet homemade version is exactly what I’d expect. The nicer more natural chocolate colours, the natural colours of the chips, the size of the chips. It all goes to show that a human being made it, rather than a bunch of machines. Enjoying this series so much and can’t wait to see future episodes.

the banter, the camera work, the calling little Debbie's, the watching YouTube videos, the creative problem solving and jerryrigged solutions, the fun Claire seems to be having. everything in this series seems to be improving, and it is so awesome to watch

Vinny’s “What do you think you’re doing right now?” at 19:26 was such gentle parenting 😂 Like, you see it coming, but you still show support. Love you, Claire

Thank you for not forcing to record this all in one day and have the need to rush. It's much more enjoyable this way instead of worrying about a deadline. Great video and claire did a great job

The fact that Claire is actually enjoying this series is making me cry. I love this so much and love seeing her creativity and genuine smile, it feels like a gift

Man, I love this series. Something I'd love to see that I feel is kinda missing is getting to see other people's reactions to tasting your snacks! The camera and sound guys seem really cool so you could definitely get them and maybe even Harris to try them?! Also, not to dream too big here, but I miss Claire and Brad's ridiculous dynamic from a certain older show, and it would be such a treat to have guest assistants/taste-testers. 😂

“It’s like we get it, you’re a rooster. Ya know” 😂😂😂 Claire is literally so naturally funny

I remember hearing they changed the Cosmic Brownie recipe, which is supposedly why they taste different now, it's not just nostalgia. The old recipe, as I heard, used to contain honey. There's an actual recipe someone shared online, I tried when making brownies once, it was shockingly close to how I remember Cosmic Brownies; they were a little thick, but maybe my baking pan to batter ratio wasn't right. He has a lot of fast food and snack food recipes; his name is Jordan Howlett, I'm not doxxing him, that's the name he shares on his YouTube.

I know it's always been this way, but I adore how real this video is. No overreaction, no blowing out my eardrums, no overstimulating flare, just an enjoyable watch. It gives the unexpected moments more impact, too! Like Claire totally not drilling into the countertop was that much funnier bc it was such a contrast to the rest of the video. Ugh what a team.
