A FEW THINGS
CLAIRE WOULD LIKE
TO CLEAR UP
“ We’re not sponsored
by companies that make
snack foods. We do
eat the leftovers (there’s an
office Slack channel
about it). And I’m not here
against my will.”
RHODA BOONE
food director for video
and Claire’s “biggest
cheerleader in
her darkest moments”
In this episode,
Claire chose to
re-create three
crowd favorites (and
hers): Thin Mints,
Tagalongs, and
Caramel deLites.

Where to Find the Citric Acid
There’s a cabinet in the test kitchen that
holds the Gourmet Makes pantry, which contains
necessities such as: tomato powder (Doritos,
Combos, Hot Pockets), four types of coconut oil
(Almond Joy, Sno Balls), citric acid (for the
sour coating on Warheads), and two types
of cocoa powder (black cocoa for Thin Mints
and regular for Tagalongs).
