Oh heck, who am I kidding? I love dips of all kinds all year. I don't need a special holiday, a season, or a reason to make and eat dip!
I like savory dips and I like sweet dips - I have never been too picky!
I would like to share a few easy dips for you to try - no matter the season!
CARAMEL APPLE DIP
8 oz. pkg. cream cheese - softened
3/4 C brown sugar - packed
1/2 C butter, melted
1 tsp. vanilla
Combine all ingredients together, stir well. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Makes about 2 cups.
So stinking good with apple or pear wedges. Takes those apple to the caramel apple level!
Use with any fruit you desire.
PUMPKIN DIP
8 oz. pkg. cream cheese softened
2 C powdered sugar
15 oz. can pumpkin
1tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. allspice
2 tsp. cinnamon
Blend cream cheese and sugar together - stir in other ingredients. Makes about 3 cups.
Serve with ginger snap cookies or graham crackers.
I have friends that rave about this - I can not attest. I am not a pumpkin person!
MARSHMALLOW FRUIT DIP
8 oz. cream cheese - softened
7 oz. jar marshmallow cream
1/4 C sugar
Mix together until smooth, cover and refrigerate. Makes about 2 cups.
I LOVE this stuff - good with any fruit. I like it with bananas and apples - grapes or pears. I used to make this when we went camping - it was always a hit.
SIMPLE SALSA/CHEESE DIP
1 jar cheese dip
1/2 - 1 pint of salsa
This is my go to. I love the taste combo of cheese and tomato. Adjust salsa to your desired taste.
I mix this up and (if it lasts) I can refrigerate and eat on it over a couple days. Serve with tortilla chips or Fritos.
Fun to add to tacos, burritos or tostadas as well.
8 oz. cream cheese - softened
1 C sour cream
1/2 C mayonnaise
1 oz. pkg. ranch dressing mix
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
2 C shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 C bacon bits (about 6 slices fried and crumbled)
Mix first 5 ingredients together. Add most of the cheese and bacon and stir in. Use the balance as a topping. Maybe add some diced green onions or chives as a garnish.
Serve with any type of cracker or tortilla chip.
Very addictive - make plenty if serving to company!!!!
I love all kinds of dips.
Velveeta and salsa or chili mixed together and melted.
Cooked ground sausage - cheese and salsa mix
Baked cream cheese, sour cream cheese, jalapenos, garlic powder & cheddar - Oh my!
Cream cheese, seasoning, chipped beef (diced) and sour cream - yum
Hummus - homemade - can be made simply and flavored as desired
There is just no limits to what can be a dip. It isn't just ranch or onion any more!
I have to admit that there have been times that I have made one of the savory dips and with crackers or chips have made it DINNER!
Great for after school or work snacks.
Dip doesn't have to complicated to be tasty. Always makes a great appetizer (or dinner in my case!).
Just mix and eat. Experiment a little - you may find the next new thing!
