Merry Christmas to all you wonderful people!! I hope you have fun with the family this year!

[@tdejong7663]

Merry Christmas! Thank you for all the great videos!

[@bartoszwierzbicki5994]

Merry Christmas to you to :)

[@amarievargas80]

Hey... I cant find the recipe

[@amarievargas80]

actually.. I can figure it out lol 😉

[@JD__123]

Merry Christmas, Sonny!

[@debo98433]

I’m just screaming the whole time at the end “put the cranberry dip on the bacon crackers!”, and he finally gave me that money shot.

[@nikip9161]

Yes!!! 😅

[@jt.s.7418]

I love the combo of spicy Cranberry, cream cheese and the smokey bacon cracker. I'm drooling 🤤 😋

[@izzyxblades]

The part about Sonny making peace with his brother was cathartic. Powerful. Hilarious. It is definitely easier to move past things like that if you end up more successful than the person who hurt you.

[@VIP-ry6vv]

Fun fact: Philadelphia cream cheese vs whipped is the same price by weight. They don't upcharge for air like one would suspect, which is pretty cool.

[@testes1-2]

How much does sir weigh

[@drewkg14]

Approximately 1.204 kg/m 3@@testes1-2

[@subtleblow]

Whipped is cheaper to make so if it's the same price... I guess it's because of the larger container?

[@visitingfromsantafe1329]

It has all kinds of chemical additions in it. Stick with the regular.

[@itscalledlogic7]

It's not as good for baking though. Would be easier to work with, definitely.

[@ISOCZAR]

Damn that lemon called me poor 😂

[@sharonoldham4374]

That comment cracked me up😅😅😅

[@Steven-up2gy]

"As i was taking the first bite my brain was like, grab the next one" - This spoke to me on a primal level, thank you.

[@amarievargas80]

I so badly wanted you to use the bacon cracker in the dip. lol Edit: spoke too soon. yessss!

[@joshraphael9511]

Watching thinking the same thing especially as he was talking about the acidity for the bacon cracker hahah

[@robert_starling]

Other that the great recipes (I've made a few), I love how you get right to the point, quick, easy to understand, no yammering on and on, and entertaining! I used the rosemary salt on duck breasts for our Christmas Eve dinner and it was hugely popular! Cheers and thanks!

[@thenext9537]

That chosen foods avocado spray is awesome. Been using it in my stainless steel pain and it's been glorious. Nice high smoke point too! I just had that 'crack dip' at friendsgiving. It is really really good, cream cheese, cranberries a pinch of that spice balances it out well.

[@jodyrockhill7200]

I've done those cranberry won tons using small pastry cups instead of wontons. Very tasty

[@akastardust]

Baked brie with jam is a go-to appetizer for parties, loved by everyone. The idea of serving it in a pastry cup sounds delightful. To any skeptics out there, don't let the wonton debacle discourage you from trying this variation. I will absolutely make the pastry cup version.

[@beautybard]

I love this format! A few recipes (i personally like that they're appetizer/bites), they're viral so I get to see you (a palate I trust cos Ive made your dishes before and I love them) try them to give me an idea if its worth the hype and effort... And a little goofing around between all the cooking? I love it!

[@ekw555]

FWIW, that's palate, not pallet . . .

[@MartySalo]

I love the club cracker/bacon/brown sugar idea.

[@beautybard]

@@ekw555 🤦‍♀️

[@exidox051987]

As a produce clerk, the past month or so, fresh cranberries have been very hard to find. Before thanksgiving, I had 30 cases.

[@lisabishop6266]

Many buy multiple bags. Some for sauce, stuffing, cookies all sorts of good cranberry recipes!! And you always need a bag of 4 in your deep freezer for when they aren't in season

[@adamlastname9731]

I made the bacon and crackers dish. Was super easy, was really good, and everyone loved it at my family's Christmas party.

[@brianradtke6677]

I e seen the bacon crackers with a slice of jalapeno instead of CRP flakes. Maybe pickled jalapeno for the acidity? Like the idea of the cranberry jalapeno relish too

[@bierbrauer11]

We all love you, Sonny (ok and Marcus (sp?))! Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and happy new year!

[@kevinyoung2820]

For the cranberry dip you should use fresh cranberries and you MUST serve with Wheat Thins (or Thin Wheats if you shop at Aldi).I've been making it for years and it is always everyones favorite holiday dip.

[@MommaOsoIrish67]

Sonny. When you guys were saying that the bacon crack needed some acidity, I was actually yelling, "dip bacon crack in the cranberry dip!" And then you did it. Lol! Another "crack" recipe to try is "Crack Candy." A base of saltines, melted toffee over them, topped with chocolate. Unhealthy AF, but delicious!

[@climatedenied]

I purchased about 4kg of various fresh sausage, removed it from the rubber and shaped it into turkey breast, which I oiled and massaged with garlic and some proprietary rub. After slow roasting for approximately 85 minutes it was ready for basting and it glistened. Everyone could not believe that it was not turkey and how it tasted.

[@wildexploit]

I laughed way too hard at that cranberry fart. 💀

[@BlitheApathy]

Parmesan Cheese Crackers They are a stupid good an *stupid easy* snack. Simply lay layer of fine grated parmesan cheese on a paper plate or silicone mat for round 2min in the microwave till crisp, done. If you brown em its over done. They are good on their own snack but it pairs up with chip dishes like nachos/chip dips really well.

[@cheebahjones420]

Iwas screaming to do the cranberry and bacon cracker together 😂😂😂. So glad you tried it too.

[@scl1341]

Dude that lemon comment had me crackin' up

[@mattmcgriff5952]

Merry Christmas to this wonderful community! Sonny, you and Marcus have given all of us some amazing culinary inspiration and some fantastic meals this year! All the best in the new year. BTW, making the bacon crackers tomorrow and will definitely add the balsamic reduction. I assume your recipe isn’t more complex than reducing the vinegar?

[@dadouger]

We made everything but the wontons this morning for Christmas. It was a huge hit and super simple. And of course we combined the two in the end, for the real "perfect bite"!

[@Bigrigjeff]

Merry Christmas to you both, thanks for great lite hearted videos! Keep them coming!

[@FireyTinkerHell]

Man! When the items match up with no "left-overs"...it's like the double rainbow.

[@anniereddj]

Merry Christmas and thank you for everything!! 💗

[@user-pl1zo7ci9h]

Replace the wontons with phyllo cups…so good, and crispy.

[@akastardust]

Sonny and Marcus 🙌 Thank you for all you do. Excellent work per usual.

[@atx0025]

"And now I make more money than him." 😂😂 ultimate way to get back at older siblings. Happy Hilidays, Merry Christmas and thank you for a new recipe idea again.

[@gigig2492]

Merry Christmas everyone. I got one of my favorite easy party appetizers recipe from a caterer: cream cheese block topped with Major Grey chutney and served with thin gingerbread snaps. 🎄

[@elaineeng1187]

I call the cranberry sauce noise "the sucking sound of the season". My kids loved it!

[@cocobear285]

With the Philly cream cheese, you aren't paying more for air because the whipped version in the larger container costs the same as the smaller container of regular cream cheese.

[@lazarossiskopoulos2591]

love all of your videos, thanks for sharing! You are a grown up chef Doug Funnie.. Merry Christmas!

[@mestep511]

This is the craziest happy fun. Great ideas in every show-that does it, buying the cook book.

[@feisdee1]

Merry Christmas Dude! I love your content.

[@andersenmacleod]

Sonny, thank you for the videos. I have a question, when you make burgers, you never add seasonings before forming the ball. Is there a culinary reason for that?

[@sergeantindie8072]

Seems like it would be way easier to mix the pepper flake and dry rub into the brown sugar before applying.

[@brendabeston65]

Merry Christmas Sonny and Markus.

[@ZeRowe]

😂 I’ll be using a regular lemon 🍋 because I’m poor 😂😜 that cracked me up ✌🏻 Sonny can get away with saying stuff like that 😂

[@kmazzanti]

One nice stripe of OG sriracha down the middle of the bacon before cooking. Guaranteed next level!!

[@kurtisskoog5874]

Tired making the bacon crackers a couple weeks back. Found that pre-cooking the bacon 10-15 minutes prior to putting on the cracker helped in getting the bacon crispy without overcooking the cracker.

[@buttonsf3293]

Did you cook them on a wire rack?

[@kurtisskoog5874]

@@buttonsf3293yes

[@sirenknight8007]

I didn’t do this, and wish I had. When I pulled them the crackers were slightly overcooked and the bacon slightly undercooked. I used the wire rack. To be fair the normal bacon was a little larger than the cracker and pretty fatty. I can see with a slight precook these would be fantastic.

[@akastardust]

I love that you got in the zinger about your brother hahahaha

[@utoobguy3041]

I know its good because I make it myself all the time, but I'd like to see him to the viral pasta dish from a while back. Get some bourson cheese, cherry tomatoes, put them in a pan drizzle olive oil coat the tomatoes and cook till tomatoes are blistering. Use whatever seasonings extra you like. Once its done baking you just blend it up add some pasta water to keep the oil from separating then serve on your pasta of choice.

[@brandon7219]

"you need 35 of these" LMAO.

[@r8chlletters]

Alton Brown did a whole thing about baking crackers…

[@Ambitionmma]

When marcus when aawwwwww i lost it hahaha

[@cmh8fl]

Whipped cream cheese is great. No way do I want to pull out the mixer! 😂

[@tdejong7663]

These honestly look amazing, I think im gonna have to try the bacon crackers for sure!

[@watcherworld5873]

Dude, I love your channel. Since I am a dude, I find that other cooking channels are way too involved. The kind of food you cooked are delicious and easy enough to prepare that even I can do it.

[@bikerack97]

I made the bacon crack(ers) tonight with a little slice of pepper jack on them. Glorious!

[@alishak4061]

I like these! Please keep em coming!!!

[@Snake-filledChimp]

Love your content, Sonny! Keep up the good work and Merry Christmas to you and yours.

[@leahprice1141]

Happy new year…. I would give both of you guys 9.5

[@nero3979]

6 is a rookie score. Everyone knows the rules... You should do some more Batman & Robin cooking scenes, those are hilarious 😂 😂 Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄

[@Kristie_H]

These recipes all look so good! Hope you & Marcus both have a Merry Christmas!

[@christopherday210]

Keep em coming. Simple stuff is good to

[@SciFiDucky]

That's called serendipity when the crackers matched the bacon

[@brockunruh6283]

With the kids, we take Ritz crackers, add a little slice of cheese then top off with pepperoni, cooked bacon, or Canadian bacon the into the oven at like 350 until the cheese is melted

[@MrRobd23]

6:40 in the industry we call that "A touch of the 'tism"

[@ruthannwachsmuth1236]

If you liked those bacon crackers you should try the bacon Parmesan ones that Pioneer Woman does. (I know, I know. But they are bomb) more bacon grease soaking those crackers!

[@wolfman011000]

Ok watch this at 4am was a bad idea as i had to try and make those crackers with bacon and the bacon smell woke everyone else up. UK based so i used TUC original crackers smoked bacon and demerara cane sugar, topped with branston pickle small chunk. 4 packs of crackers, 2.2lb bacon and a jar of pickle. Result missus has ordered me to go get more crackers/bacon/pickles and she is annoyed at me because the kids are hyper at 6am, all because i couldn't sleep and decided to watch youtube vids. Thanks for the video, take care, God bless one and all.

[@user-js6vx2mh9c]

Hahaha that fridge 😂

[@Donkeys_Dad_Adam]

Merry Christmas Dude!!! I can't thank you enough for the upgrade for Thanksgiving Turkey this year and the killer Rosemary Salt! Hope you have an epic Holiday! BTW, the Kosmo's Dirty Bird is a game changer for poultry! It's worth a try for sure!

[@paulacohen01]

[@droid4369]

I think you should spread the cream cheese cranberry stuff on the bacon cracker.

Million Dollar bacon is THE BEST! Have you been to First Watch? I make a homemade version of it. Bacon/Brown Sugar/ Cracked Pepper/ Garnished w Syrup and some green herb
