Deck the halls and Bless the Ranks, it's an extra festive episode where Matt tastes and critiques eight different Christmas treats.

honey thats why you have to have peanut butter between two ritz crackers and white chocolate covering it. you'll thank me.

My son has a terminal illness and your videos bring him such joy. They are the bright spot of his days, whether in hospital or at home. He did a review in your honor. It would mean so much to him if you watched. You are always in our prayers. Thank you for the uplift

[@ChibiPanda8888]

Since it means so much, I'd contact him directly via email and tell him about it. I'm sure he'll watch.

[@lecree1975]

No doubt he'll watch it!

[@lecree1975]

I'm so sorry to hear abt ur son. As the mother of a son, idk what I'd do if something ever happened to him. God bless you for being such a caring mother and God bless ur son and family too

Love and prayers to your son ❤🙏

The moment you pulled out the Tate's Cookie Bark, I said aloud "There's the winner." Because I've eaten a whole bag in one sitting. That's not bragging. That's a cry for help.

[@NancyNNash]

I think we need to form a support group ! I feel ya 100 💯 😆

[@Caoimhin777]

I too am a Tate’s addict. It’s particularly unsafe to leave the dark chocolate & sea salt ones around me 😂

[@davidthedeaf]

Walmart? In the PNW we have to buy it at a spendy ritzy store. Lucky him! I found some on sale last week. It is gone. Didn’t make it more than a day.

[@davidthedeaf]

@@Caoimhin777i can help by taking your bag from you. 😊

[@bout1214]

I work one block from the original Tate's Bake Shop in Southampton. It's a real place and it is dangerous for my wallet. Never had a bad cookie or pastry from there. I knew that cookie bark would win the second he pulled it out.

My stepmom always made peanut butter filled ritz sandwiches covered in chocolate. My fave childhood snack and I still make them 45 years later

[@vickihernandez3641]

@user-df7dc1gt5m almond bark

[@christopherress6635]

​@user-df7dc1gt5m ive made them with both the cheap not real chocolate candy coating and melting down semi sweet chips. Chips are obviously better, but not really worth the effort imo due to the higher difficulty level in melting the real stuff.

[@beckyowens2586]

I call 'em "Christmas Pucks" and just use chocolate almond bark for dipping. Just the cheap wal-mart brand, but I add a drizzle of white chocolate stripes just for purdy.

[@candacebarlow9296]

My aunt makes them too

[@nickamalfitano3613]

My mom does the same but will do half of them in white chocolate and the other half in milk chocolate

[@stephaniemertz2881]

"Isn't that what Christmas is all about? Loving everyone despite how visually unappealing they are?" Matt, I about choked to death on my coffee laughing at that one!

[@ShoelessJP]

I'm really happy you worked something out with your former channel to use the "Bless Your Rank" name, nothing else would really fit this wonderful series as a name. Happy holidays, Matt!

[@maryfrancesbautista7234]

The best way to have chocolate on ritz is to dip the plain side in chocolate and leave that salty&buttery side uncovered. Then, eat it with the salty side hitting the taste buds first. SO MUCH FLAVOR!!!

[@eggstu]

I was a recovering Christmas Tree cake addict and thanks to Matt, i fell off the wagon hard and ate 2 boxes last week

[@cala_mitie]

You make watching a man slowly slip into a diabetic coma so entertaining, Matt

[@burtonwilliams5355]

YES !

[@thenovicenovelist]

Welcome to the club.

[@PJErvin]

I know I’m not the only one to mention this, but if you make a little peanut butter sandwich with two Ritz, and then cover that in chocolate, that’s the greatest snack ever.

[@ChaoticWriterRising]

I didn't know the ritz thing existed. My dad takes ritz crackers, puts peanut butter in the middle and dips them in chocolate. They are amazing and were my favorite before I became allergic to peanuts.

[@springhayes8300]

My family does this too. Some years we use nilla wafers.

[@ChaoticWriterRising]

@@springhayes8300 that also sounds delicious!

[@feistsorcerer2251]

It's too bad you can't eat them anymore. Do you like any other nut butters that you could use instead? Might not be the same but you might find a combo you like.

[@ChaoticWriterRising]

@feistsorcerer2251 I'm also allergic to tree nuts and coconut. God just be playing with me. 🤣 My dad normally makes chocolate covered pretzels or chocolate covered oreos for me.

[@feistsorcerer2251]

Fun Fact: Mint has menthol, menthol makes your tastebuds more sensitive to cold. Thisis an inverse of capsacin with peppers, and they are seperate! You can feel both together

[@cck6740]

Snoop on a Stoop! I love it. I subscribed just because of that.

[@grimbyrne195]

The subtitle should be “Matt sacrifices his taste buds so you don’t have to”.

Fudge covered Ritz with strawberry cream cheese, life changing

Matt, Only you could give us a masterpiece such as this. Bless your *holiday* rank. 🙏🏼

[@imc440]

I love how Matt always overlooks Tate’s and falls into the trap. “Tate’s haven’t played anybody” turns into “Tate’s isn’t playing around” so fast

[@boots6383]

Can we just stop a minute to talk about how fantastic his decor in the background is.

[@janettamcgee8124]

They are the best!!

[@jaymeharl3270]

From the time I was little, my Mom made candy every year at Christmas. Bourbon balls, peanut butter balls, etc. One of my favorites was making Ritz peanut butter cracker sandwiches and dipping them in chocolate. I think at some point they were made commercially. That's what your Ritz chocolate cracker is missing...the peanut butter!

[@TheGrandmasterb82]

“Go shirtless, all December. Roll Tide!” Haha, don’t know why that line made me laugh so much.

[@sandyb296]

You can NEVER go wrong with Ritz!! Now I want to try the Candy Pop popcorn. This was hilarious to me (your reactions) and what made it even funnier is the Snoop Dog Elf on the shelf! 🤣🤣

And just like that, Matt had the diabeetuss. My family makes something called buckeyes this time of year. Sorta like homemade peanut butter cups, but ball shaped. I usually add some crushed rice krispies to the peanut better mix to give it a little more crunch.

I'm 100% on board with bring back real chocolate. I had been wondering what happened to Mr. Goodbar, which haven't been real chocolate since 2008! ... and it's not the only one. I would definitely rather pay more to be able to get the real thing.

[@alphabetsoup6681]

At this point you have to buy the expensive candy bars and make your own candy with it.

[@carriecree1789]

Candy canes are for decorating the Christmas tree. The cats leave them alone and they don't matter if they get broken.

😮my cat goes crazy for mint! Also green olives. He'll smell em and rub his face all over em...

[@matthewmarek1467]

I was just walking through the grocery store, saw a box of Dolly Parton corn bread mix, and thought, "It has been a while since I've seen Matt Mitchell talk about food." Good work on this Matt, candy corn is poison. Also, settle an argument as a man of culture, agree or disagree: Chic-fil-a is not fried chicken.

[@ChibiPanda8888]

Agree.

Dolly’s got some cake and brownie mixes too. Matt should rank those!

Tate cookie bark is just Christmas crack with cookies instead of saltines.

[@pancakespandemonium]

I’m laughing so hard at your Ritz Cracker commentary. My kids love them so much that when I buy the Costco box they grab sleeves and stash them. Because even though I just bought the COSTCO size box they apparently need to not share.

Peanut butter between Ritz dipped in almond bark can’t be beat. Saw those elf candy corn things in Target and almost ran out of the store screaming they scared me so bad!!!🤣🤣🤣

Now that you mention fruitcake, I am here as a Texan to tell everybody that if you think fruitcake is gross, that's because you have not had the good stuff! Corsicana has Collin Street Bakery (est. 1896) and East Texas also has locations of an out-of-state company called Mary of Puddin Hill. My parents gifted those Collin Street Bakery cakes for years, and let me tell you, they are pricey and people look forward to them. I count myself lucky when I stumble across one in the grocery store at the holidays for a mere 25 bucks.
