hey guys welcome back i’m nate with the
king of random and today we’re going to
try to make a spooky halloween treat in
previous videos grant made a silicone
mold of a pig’s heart and then cast a
chocolate heart in it for valentine’s
day
now halloween is coming up and i wanted
to try to give this coronary confection
a haunted twist
this will be a two-for-one project
something that can be used as both a
decoration and a dessert as i said
there’s a twist i’m planning to put on
this i don’t just want to make a normal
gummy heart I think that’s a little bit
too simple so to kick it up to the next
level what I’m going to try and do is
make a beating pumping gummy heart the
first step is to get the mixture cooking
the heart mold is pretty big so let’s
mix up a giant batch of our gummy syrup
let’s use strawberry for the color I’ll
start with three cups of cold water and
add one and a half cups of corn syrup
[Music]
once the corn syrup is all smoothly
mixed into the water it’s time to add 12
packets of gelatin and three large boxes
of jell-o
[Music]
remember that you need to get all of the
gelatin clumps out before you start
adding heat now that it’s all makes
let’s put it on the stove at medium low
temperature
[Music]
you don’t have to mix everything
constantly but make sure you give it a
good stir every minute or so
[Music]
well that’s heating up let’s make a
simple pump that will allow our heart to
beat once it’s all finished to make this
pump I’m just using a couple of balloons
and a length of vinyl tubing the basic
strategy is I’m going to have a balloon
over either end of the tube with a
little bit of pressure in it that way
when I squeeze on one side it will
expand on the other side do that for too
long you’re going to get lightheaded
just to be sure that this balloon won’t
pop off from the pressure let’s secure
it with a little bit of electrical tape
I want to be sure that the balloon won’t
deform or shrink while it’s in the warm
gummy mixture so what I’m going to do is
fill the balloon and the tube with a
little bit of water
I want the balloon on the other end to
be full of water too so I’m going to try
and fill it up a little ways pinch off
the neck and then stretch it over the
end of the tube hopefully I can do that
without spilling water everywhere no
promises
I’m using a water bottle for this
because my sink faucet is not very well
shaped for filling balloons with water
[Music]
air out that’s good right there
pinch that off I think I got it let’s
dry this off and then we’ll use some
more electrical tape to secure this one
[Music]
it’s gonna look so cool
beating dummy heart thump dub dub dub
dub dub looking agreed
our gummy mixture is complete so let’s
take it off the heat and let it cool
down for a few minutes before pouring it
into our mold our mixture has cooled
down a little bit now I’m gonna try
using the spatula to pull some of the
foam off of the top of it so we have a
nice clear casting of our heart
[Music]
the spatulas not working great I found
this in the kitchen I’m not even
entirely sure what you’re supposed to
use this work but I bet it’s going to
work pretty well Oh perfect all in one
go okay time to pour our gummy syrup and
hope that the mold holds it all in
nicely here we go
[Music]
I’m gonna stop just a little bit before
it fills all the way to put one end of
the balloon pump into it a little extra
syrup flowing out that should be fine
there okay I think this placement looks
good I’m just gonna use some tape to
hold our tube in place now just fill the
extra space and since the gummy syrup
does tend to shrink a little bit as it
cools I’ll try and add a little extra
our gummy heart is cast now I’m just
gonna pop it in the refrigerator and let
it cool there for a few hours to let our
gummy heart completely solidified
[Music]
all right our gummy heart and the mold
have been in the refrigerator for
several hours now and it is completely
cooled so now it’s time to carefully
remove our gummy heart from the silicone
see how this piece is mm stuck to the
wood just how it should be I don’t know
that’s a lot like a fruit roll-up cuz
it’s so thin Bab kind of fixed to my
teeth will slide the box off carefully
fit it over the hose that’s coming off
nicely I’m excited about this good you
can see a gummy heart in there already
gummy candy is actually fairly tough so
I’m not super worried about it but I am
of course trying to make sure that I
don’t tear it while I’m removing unmold
all this is a huge heart holy cow I also
want to make sure I don’t tear the
balloon that would cause problems good
look good
yeah oh look at that that is a giant
strawberry flavored gummy heart right
there look at the details you’ve got the
veins running through the heart
you’ve got the I assume one of these is
the aorta up here oh that looks so cool
okay and now we got to do the test we
got to test our pump to see if we can
get our heart to beat it’s moving a
little bit it doesn’t expand a ton but
there you go if you look over there kind
of near where the balloon is you get
some good pumping action all that looks
so good let’s see I’m gonna try putting
it down on the counter I bet that makes
the whole thing yep it just comes alive
there you go beating heart right there
oh it’s awesome pretty fantastic it’s a
great color you can see a little bit of
light through it there’s tons of detail
and the pumping does work you can make
it sort of just beat in your hand a
little bit but I’m gonna try and make a
quick little display to put the heart on
that hides the tube a little bit as well
for our display I’m just gonna use a
black paper plate and cup to make a
stand for our heart I don’t want the
display stands to be quite this tall so
first I’m gonna cut the cup in half that
edge is a little rough I’m gonna clean
it up with scissors
that’s better all right so a plate will
go on there that’s a good height that’ll
look good this is gonna work pretty well
so far but I want to hide the hose a
little bit so I’m going to cut a hole in
the bottom of the plate and in the side
of the cup so the hose can come out the
back and not be as invisible
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
okay good I’m not sure if we even need
to cut a hole in the cup or not maybe
just a little bit of a notch
[Music]
there we go your heart on the stand and
it just moves on its own
now let’s just secure the plate to the
cup with a little bit of electrical tape
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
there we have it guys a giant red gummy
heart that can actually beat with a pump
this is the weirdest grossest candy I
think I’ve ever made but it works pretty
well I’m pretty excited about that and
it’s just it looks like a giant heart
I’m so excited to use this for Halloween
decoration and treat and I think the
only thing left to do is to see how it
is so I’m gonna just take a big bite out
of this giant pumping heart mmm tastes
like I don’t think it tastes anything
like heart tastes like gummy which is
pretty good there you have it guys
that’s how to make a candy gummy heart
that can double as both a Halloween
decoration and a Halloween treat and as
an added bonus we made it so it can beat
in your hand thanks so much for joining
us for this video and we look forward to
the next one talk to you then just what
Leonardo DiCaprio did in the revenant it
was like a liver i’m basically leonardo
dicaprio
[Music]
well now it’s time for open-heart
surgery I’m gonna cut a big slice out of
this giant heart sliced in half we have
a leaky heart valve
it’s spray oh I should have filled this
with red water that would have been
great so much gummy in my mouth at the
same time oh my god good
[Music]
[Applause]
