Maureen's Tabasco dip makes her a finalist

On yet another cold, snowy day at Struble Suds we opened our stomachs to another Super Bowl Snack Throw Down. And the winner is Maureen - by a landslide (hers was the only time entry).

Maureen's snack was fiery Tabasco dip. It consisted of Velveeta, mayo, horseradish and of course - TABASCO. It was definitely spicy - just how we like it at Struble Suds.

It was a big day in the Struble House - while shopping for a few ingredients, we got to visit the Oscar Mayer Wiener Mobile - let's all sing the jingle. "I wish I was a......" Yes, we sang and wiener aerobics on our way to weeny whistles. Everyone say Cheesy Weeny!

Next up Feb 1 - the FINAL Super Bowl Snack Throw Down. It's Maureen vs. Lori. May the best snack win.

If you haven't voted on your secret ingredient - please send it to www.highlowaha.com by 8 pm tonight.

Honey & Oats make the Struble Suds sweet tooth happy

This weekend, while the snow fell, Struble Suds got four great snacks for the Super Bowl Snack Throw Down.


First up was Ray vs Lori in secret ingredient HONEY. What happened - Lori's Gobble Up Granola devoured Ray's Honey Chex Mix. Sorry Ray, but your honey/Worcestershire mix wasn't up to Lori's honey, chewy granola bars. And, thanks Lori for making both nut and non-nut versions of your granola. The granola bars were sweet with tastes of peanut butter, chocolate chips, and pecans. Yummy! It was fitting that the Arizona entrant won with her Arizona Cardinals pulling off the big upset too! Maybe we'll have 2 Arizonans in the Super Bowl. Congrats Lori- you're our first Super Bowl Finalist.


Second was secret ingredient oats, which was Melanie vs. Susan. Melanie's entry was a peanut butter ball cookie with oats and corn flakes. Susan countered with Champion Chocolate Chewies, which were chocolate, caramel, pecan squares. This competition went back and forth with the Tourlas family breaking the tie. The winner - MELANIE. Your peanut butter cookies win you a show down with Maureen next week in secret ingredient Tabasco.

Who's up to facing Lori in the finals?? Maureen - Melanie.... good luck this week. We're looking forward to another exciting competition.

Nacho Popcorn is Parmesan Cheese FANTASTIC

This week in the second round of the Super Bowl Snack Throw Down we had Maureen's entry for battle Parmesan cheese.

Although Maureen was our only entrant, it didn't matter.

MAUREEN IS SUPREME!!

Her nacho cheese popcorn was a huge hit.



This week we took a side trip to Master Captain Russ Haack's helm. Before leaving Struble Suds, Matt prepared Maureen's entry. As with any good cook, we sampled the food. Nacho Popcorn was delicious. We decided to make a double batch. Our method of tossing was unique (clean garbage bad was very helpful with the large quantity).

We definitely needed the extra popcorn. It was all eaten.

The nacho popcorn was spicy and cheesy. A perfect mix and great with beer. Nothing better to snack on while watching the Viqueens LOSE. No skol for those in purple. Just a ticket home.
Overall, Maureen's nacho popcorn was definitely one of, if not, the best snack we've had.

Congrats Maureen and good luck in the next round.

We're looking forward to this week's competition with ingredients Quaker Oats and honey. What will be sent??? We can't wait to see.
