"Dick" and Hello Dollies

Ok, this should be Dick and (insert cupcake here) but these gooey bars are such a part of this movie, I had to include a recipe. Dick (1999) is a spoof movie about the Nixon administration. Kirsten Dunst, Will Ferrell (as Bob Woodward), Dan Hedaya (as Nixon) and Michelle Williams work this over-the-top farce into a hilarious explanation of Watergate and Deep Throat.

It's goofy - goofier than many Will Ferrell movies - but there is something satisfying in taking a dismal time in American politics and making it into a joke. Like to see Nixon riding on a stallion down a sandy beach toward the girl who idolizes him? What about cold war relations melted over Hello Dollies spiked with pot? Yeah, me too. Fix up a batch of Hello Dollies and hit the video store.
