4,757,498 views  And now, the story of a wealthy family who lost everything, and their occasional culinary inventiveness in the face of adversity. From faulty deep-fryers to a legacy built on frozen bananas, the Bluths have dreamt up a wealth of money-making treats. Well, except for hot ham water. Somebody call Gene Parmesan.

Chop your chocolate into chunks and add to bowl. Place the bowl on the double boiler and let melt. When the chocolate has barely melted, add your coconut oil. You want a 5:1 ratio of chocolate to coconut oil, depending on how many bananas you’re dipping.

For the Hot Ham Water (Babish Version)

1.

In a large stock pot, add your pigs feet and cover with water. Bring to a simmer until grey foam / scum floats to the top.

2.

Strain using a colander. With a chopstick, scrape out as much of the grey gunk as you can from each pigs feet piece while rinsing them under cold water.

3.

Rinse out the pot, and place the pigs feet back in, adding enough water to cover while bringing to a rolling simmer.

4.

While the water is being brought to a simmer, in a nonstick pan add the onion, scallions, and ginger (all chopped according to ingredient list). Cook over a high heat until they have some nice color on them, and then place directly into stock pot with the pigs feet.

5.

Cook broth at a rolling simmer for 12 hours.

6.

When finished, strain - but save the broth this time! Put the broth in a pot. Place that pot into a bowl that has ice and a little bit of water in it so that it will cool faster. Store in some sealable jars and save for later!
