December 21, 2023 Liemas Day 21 -Easy Holiday Treats -Gingerbread Bars & 3 Shit Chocolates
Just what an obese family that's been packing on the pounds for months needs -more sugar. Nope, no restrictions at the Travis Estate. It's Christmas! We have to have treats!
Boxes & boxes of cookies purchased & baked & it just keeps going.
Man, that January depression is going to be epic! Between the weight gain & her broken marriage, we may not even see her until February. Let's hope. I think we all need a break.
That's it Dar, keep baking & keep whining. I love that the best.

HILARIOUS!
I just binged-read pages of you Brilliant Bakers!
This is THE WORST VLOGMAS IN HISTORY!
Love the new thread title! good one Cam! 👍
Some thoughts:
I think she's been drugging the dogs....EXPecially Hunter. He just hasn't been acting right for Months.... arthritis my ass......
She's definitely vague about "things she does" alluding to outings..and her Pretend Girlfriend who texts her about the weather .....ya..sure, sure....
And... DAY-UM....she could serve her dried up charcuterie board on her ass!
She shows her garage freezer FILLED with Everything she's baked... no gifting of the treats? NOPE! They are all for Dar-alacart-ass....
She's been shit-faced in the most recent vlogs..... Michael "Blu-bay:
It may have been Cam made mention of Steve's E-coli office pot luck! I'M DYING!
She was on the verge of hysteria the morning Stupid drove Andy to school (in the dark) MY GAWD.... I've never seen anyone SO Happy to be alone!
"They" broke a door knob. How? Did Drunk Dar lock herself out and had to break in? I'm sure there's a good story there.....
Today....more baking..... Diabetes-Dar. She is going to BLOW!!!. -

Marking my spot . -

I cannot believe the amount of cookies/baking she has done for 3 people. There were at least 4 boxes of those slice and bake cookies. 8 dozen cookies she baked a few days ago. Double batches of cranberry bliss bars. Muffins were bought several times this month. And she is baking again. And I bet Dar just can't figure out why her weight isn't dropping. I am sure the Instagram nutritionist that said Darlene can eat whatever she wants in moderation could not be wrong.
She doesn't have long to lose 100 pounds. And honestly, 100 pounds would be a start but she would still be overweight. I know she claims that her doctor said she isn't "too far gone", but I think she is getting to that point.. -
.
Stupid is home for the next two weeks if not longer.
College is done, so we all know what that means, Melt down DAR coming in hot !
I saw someone in the video, feet of course walking by
Stupid stay in the basement learn from Andy, it is the best way to beat the wrath of the beast you live with !

so come on how do these really taste, Bakers? anyone made them or heard of them? Comment down below < lil Dar like!

IN a hurry per usual and didnt make her usual amount, I mean come no how many blobs of dirt do you need ? we know you eat 6 at a time dar.

sorry but she ruined those bars by adding way too many sprinkles IMO. who wants a mouth full of those ?
hahaha ya so presentable she puts them in a roasting pan? SHE has umpteen containers and she uses a roast pan? Dying !
she says she makes trays of treats.
FOR WHO? Ill answer NO ONE, just her giant family of FOUR! lol. -

I burst out laughing at Hannah's description, too!
Cynbad, we have to figure out how to turn that screencaps into a gif of Darlene twerking.
Ms. Portion Control - I Have Just A Couple of Cookies today:
Darlene in September 2016:

Darlene: I’ve lost weight!
Me: Look behind you. -
.
Holy crap. That is quite shocking the amount of weight she has put on. . -
.
Thanks for the title!
Darlene in April 2023:
Yes, the sheer size of her confirms that she "craves salads!" Look at that stupid expression of feigned surprise on her face as she tries to convince herself she had an epiphany and loves eating healthfully, LOL! December 2023 and she's larger than ever in her YT career.
As for today's video, I guess it must have been snowing and the furnace wasn't running too hot, so Dar was in the mood to bake!
Dar's going to "icen" her bars? Wha?? This isn't a transcript glitch.

December 21, 2023 Liemas Day 21 Easy Holiday treats -Gingerbread Bars & 3 Shit Chocolates
I'm going to say this before I even watch, she isn't going to make the bars correctly. I know this because she never has made a bar cookie correctly yet.
And, she has been melting the chocolate for the chocolates incorrectly too. Her chocolate seems to be seizing up each time. Years ago the chocolate was much more smooth & she could almost pour it in the cups, no more. Now it's the consistency of fudge.
So, let's go see if I'm right...
She has been wanting to make Gingerbread bars with cream cheese frosting for years. Today's the day! HUBBY was mentioned immediately as she was going over the recipe because it calls for cloves & HUBBY is not a big fan.
Oh, in that case, leave it out Dar. However, he eats the crap you make all the time, so I don't think some cloves would break him.
She starts adding the sugar to the melted butter & then she does the same thing wrong she always does -she never mixes long enough. Darlene has a problem with mixing. With batter for muffins, she is heavy handed & over mixes & with butter & sugar, she never allows the mixer to mix long enough.
These are basics she missed over the years & has never improved on. I also don't think she knows her mixer has a low setting. She will dump in flour & right away it's turned on high & of course flies all over the counter! Just let the mixer do it's job on low & slowly add the flour as it's mixing.
I swear, she needs lessons.
She presses the dough (that looks a bit dry & crumbly) into her pan. I wish she would show how she measures. I don't think she uses her dry measure correctly & she then adds too much flour.
The bars are baked & she notes that the recipe said not to over bake. She always over bakes. They are cooling & she moved onto the cream cheese frosting.
She says she could probably use this same recipe for the piss bars & just add the orange extract. OK, everything frosted & in the freezer to set up.
Now the 3 shit chocolates.
Somehow the original story changed. She just said she learned this recipe in high school where a co-worker (who has co-workers in high school?) brought them in & told her the recipe.
Huh. All these years it was her boss & she never mentioned being in high school. Or did she have a job in high school? No idea. I can't keep her stories straight if she can't keep the stories straight.
She melts the chocolate right on the stove in a pan, adds the chips & fills the cups. Mentions she makes them for her mom. I often wonder how many Darlene eats.
She never lets the icing on the piss bars set or now these gingerbread bars set up before cutting them.
She cuts all the edges off so the bars can look neater, but we all know that's how she taste tests them. I bet those edges were gone way before Andrew got home.
Somehow she put the bars in a roasting pan instead of a container to freeze. She shows her garage freezer & man, she now has a lot of cookies, candy & bars in there for 3 people. She said she has more she still wants to make.
Wow. How much more crap can they eat? She bought boxes of fudge covered cookies, crackers & I lost count of all the place & bake cookies. She made 2 batches of piss bars, now the gingerbread ones along with all the dozens of cookies she just baked the other day.
She isn't giving out cookies gifts, so why so much? Can't she save something for Depression January or wait til Valentine's Day? Everything has to be made now? When she comes back in January complaining about how she looks, I will remind her to watch this Vlogmas. All these sweets are the problem. You can't say you only take 2 cookies or bars at a time if you do it multiple times a day.
Now coffee calendar time & let's face it, the edges of those gingerbread bars. She will polish off that plate in minutes.
Chocolate Orange coffee. But I'll say this, I am not an orange flavor person. I don't eat oranges or drink the juice. I just never liked the flavor of orange. I'm a grapefruit juice girl & like more sour than sweet.
So there she is with her (not very orange) tasting coffee, 2 edges of the gingerbread bars & a chocolate on a plate.
She is going to make those bars again & again & even the chocolate was amazing.
The end.
I'm laughing about how much she was over the moon with those bars & I don't think it's because of the taste, it's because it's easier than cookies.
She is too lazy to roll the dough into balls & then frost each cookie. For her just dumping it all into one pan is enough. And once again, Andrew wasn't included. I'd still like to know what about leading up to Christmas is fun for him? What exactly does he get to participate in?
I'll tell you -nothing. She wants nothing to do with him, so when he gets home, he goes directly to the basement. I'm waiting for her to show those cookie kits she bought to replace him doing a Gingerbread house.
She won't show it.
Have any of you tried those chocolates? She said so many have, but I don't remember seeing comments stating that. I think the butterscotch is the thing that turns me off. I'm not so sure it's a great combination with chocolate & then the salty chips. Maybe dark & milk chocolate & the chips?
Maybe I will try it this year & see if anyone likes them. Let me know what combinations you think would work.
See you tomorrow for another edition of Crappy Christmas From The Travis'

3 shit chocolates today? I don’t know if I can watch again this yr . -

I've never had Three Chip Chocolates. I know some people like chocolate covered potato chips, chocolate covered pretzels, salted caramel - that sweety and salty combo thing.
If anyone likes salted caramel, Fran's are the best! I'm not a huge fan of salted caramel/chocolate, but I love these. There are grey salt, smoked salt, and plain caramels (and other chocolates).
https://frans.com/caramels/salted-caramels...d-salt-caramels
Didn't Darlene say last Christmas that her mom didn't seem to care for her previously favorite Three Chip Chocolates anymore? I hope Dar's not going to sit on the couch and look for pity if Patricia doesn't love these candies.
Darlene's TCCs just seem like another recipe in her Christmas repertoire that's mainly about being quick and easy, not good and not something most adults would want to eat. The cranberry bliss bars and gingerbread bars are a step forward, but not when she rushed through and does stuff like drown them in chocolate drizzle or put crunchy sprinkles all over the icing. For me, sprinkles ruin the texture of the icing.
Doesn't MyHusband eat pumpkin spice things? Pumpkin spice mix contains clove. Why is it suddenly a problem for gingerbread?. -

I switched to jimmies…they dissolve better…I don’t use sprinkles too much .
