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
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
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.
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.
So a holiday joke I heard: a young boy tells his parents, "Happy Honda-days!", and his dad says, "Young man! In this house, we celebrate Toyotathon!" 😂
@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.
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.
"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!
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!
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.
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.
@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.
@@ChaoticWriterRising Oh man that sucks. You got hit with "curse of have a hard time finding sweets". I'm glad you're still able to have some fun treats though.
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!
I agree. Check out all of the other weird flavors. They also have hot dog, kale, Caesar salad, butter, sour cream, sardine, mac and cheese, ketchup.,@@kayjacoby290
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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! 🤣🤣
OK, so those chocolate covered ritz crackers? You're dead on with the peanut butter. I have an aunt who used to make them from scratch around the holidays, little ritz cracker peanut butter sandwiches covered in chocolate. They were pretty addictive.
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
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.
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!!!🤣🤣🤣
I'm old enough when candy canes were sweet mint or medicinal mint. Usually the latter, but oh, nice when you got the sweet, not nasty mint. Or the rare cherry.
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.
my grandpa used to take two Ritz, make a pb sandwich with them, then covered them with chocolate. Every Christmas. obviously he made a batch when he made them, and they were gone so quickly. SO GOOD!
I tried nutella stuffed French toast from one of those 5 min recipe videos, and it was awesome. I think I will try it coated in crushed Ritz next time, so it's crunchy on the outside.
Ive seen you rank so many things I dont eat & now that Im eating healthier there are even more, but I will still click on every Bless Your Rank video or anything else you put out for the sheer fun of watching you. Youre that fun neighbor everyone wishes they had. Best holiday wishes to you!
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.
I HATE chocolate covered cherries! In elementary school, for two consecutive years, I received chocolate covered cherries as an exchange gift. Everyone else playing with cheap little toys, but not me. My parents even were feeling sorry for me. The odds, I began to feel cursed. 😢
The fudge covered Ritz is likely based on an old (?) Christmas treat - my aunt used to make them every Christmas (as many other Southern ladies did). OMG. I’ve got to find these in the store.
I thought I knew every Christmas candy/cookie that had ever been created! Great to see all the new entries. Thanks for the fun, Matt! A Merry Christmas to you and yours!
First time catching within seconds of being posted! 😊. Love that it's about candy!! And yes, the true meaning of Christmas is definitely loving people no matter how ugly they are! Lol
Merry Christmas Matt to you your family and crew… y’all make me laugh out loud! From a fellow North Alabamian ( born in Winston County now reside in Lauderdale County) and Roll Tide🐘❤️
This is a great way to get through just a little bit more of a dull Friday... just don't tell my boss that, no snitches. 😅 Edit: Matt, order you some chocolate covered cherries from Chukar Cherry out of WA. They use very good cherries and real chocolate. It's way better than the Queen Anne style cherries.
The most success I've had with bait on a rat trap was using a chunk of lil' smoky sausage (about 1/3 or just over half an inch), impaled on the little spear on the metal plate (bent slightly), and glued down with peanut butter so they have to mess with it. Worth a try.
My mother's uncle loved chocolate covered cherries. We had to give him 2 boxes because he would insist on sharing them with us. He passed long ago but my sister and I share a box every year in his honor. Love ' em.
Great work Matt. Appreciate your work. Roll Tide to you too! My wife makes homemade Ritz chocolate covered peanut butter sandwich crackers and they are incredible. Wish I could send you a sample. Take care and happy holidays.
Subscribe or Matty Clause will attempt to break into your home via the chimney
Good thing I don't got one!
Can you fit?
honey thats why you have to have peanut butter between two ritz crackers and white chocolate covering it. you'll thank me.
I don't have a chimney 😊
Supposing he fits.

Since it means so much, I'd contact him directly via email and tell him about it. I'm sure he'll watch.
No doubt he'll watch it!
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
Well now you have me curious. I want to see it as well..what's the link?
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.
I think we need to form a support group ! I feel ya 100 💯 😆
I too am a Tate’s addict. It’s particularly unsafe to leave the dark chocolate & sea salt ones around me 😂
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.
@@Caoimhin777i can help by taking your bag from you. 😊

My stepmom always made peanut butter filled ritz sandwiches covered in chocolate. My fave childhood snack and I still make them 45 years later
@user-df7dc1gt5m almond bark

My aunt makes them too
My mom does the same but will do half of them in white chocolate and the other half in milk chocolate
"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!
Family Christmas card material right there
"You gotta do a lot to a Ritz cracker before I won't eat it." I'm right there with you, Matt. 🤤
My blood sugar levels spiked just watching!
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!
I had my first Christmas Tree Cake today. I get the hype.
YES !
Welcome to the club.
I was a recovering Christmas Tree cake addict and thanks to Matt, i fell off the wagon hard and ate 2 boxes last week
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.
My family does this too. Some years we use nilla wafers.
@@springhayes8300 that also sounds delicious!

You make watching a man slowly slip into a diabetic coma so entertaining, Matt
"Loving everyone, no matter how visually unappealing they are." I will be using that, and soon.
I would like you to rank different makers of straight up eggnog!
You can’t go wrong with Southern Comfort
Yes!
In your opening list of holidays, you missed Red Lobsters" all you can eat shrimp "! 🤣🤣
And Crab Fest!
Didnt that like bankrupt them? 😂
“Peppermint is the air conditioner for the mouth.” Wiser words have never been spoken.
Matt,
Only you could give us a masterpiece such as this.
Bless your *holiday* rank. 🙏🏼
You gave me serious 2000's flashbacks with that creamsavers mention. Now I'm craving them.
I loved the strawberry crème one.
I've seen them down at the cracker barrel.
Dollar Tree sells a really good knock off. I'm a hard candy addict!
Thank you for taking one for the team and investigating the influx of new Christmas treats.
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!
You should do a Bless Your Rank of candy canes like Starburst, Sweettarts, and etc.
The Archie McPhee selection of candy canes says, "Hold my beer," with this year's new flavors: Possum, Dante's Inferno & Gravy.
Second this!
I agree. Check out all of the other weird flavors. They also have hot dog, kale, Caesar salad, butter, sour cream, sardine, mac and cheese, ketchup.,@@kayjacoby290
I was just going to make that comment.
I would love to see you do a beef jerky ranking. But in two parts, one on dry jerky and one on the other. You could even do one on tube jerky.
This is great and very true has to be separated. I love dry. The other is just weird lol
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
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!!!
The subtitle should be “Matt sacrifices his taste buds so you don’t have to”.
I agree about chocolate covered cherries.
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.
Happy Toyotathon to all who celebrate
Great episode! Is that a "Snoop Dogg" elf-on-a-shelf??? That cracks me up! 😂
I will be passing on all of them. Still hooked on Little Debbie Cherry Cordial since you made that Christmas video.
They are the best!!
Thank you Matt. Those laughs were much needed. I want to share this video with everyone!

That’s a Snoop on the Stoop
@@donjackson5522 Thanks! I need to find that.

I’ve seen them in every Walmart but they’re selling out. Amazon has them for $42 and cheap knockoffs for $13.

Marry Christmas matt and family. Thank for all the effort you put into this channel and look forward to what 2024 has to offer.
Fudge covered Ritz with strawberry cream cheese, life changing
I'm so excited to have a new ranking video 😊🎄
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!!!🤣🤣🤣
Matty Clause saying he can't imagine anyone snacking on a bunch of those Cellas... you don't know me, dude... you don't know me. Lol.

I love the shirt you are wearing. The one for sale at the merch store is slightly different (without the words) and also sold out. Maybe next year.
My best friend takes two of the fudge covered ritz, puts peanut butter on one and marshmallow cream on the other, then makes a sandwich.
