I guess I don't have any dips that I regularly make for parties but one I've discovered recently and have been eating at home a lot is

1 can Cambell's Chunky Chili, no beans (it's a shorter can)
1 small box of Velveeta (smallest box they make)

Dump both ingredients into a bowl and microwave for 3 minutes. Mix up and serve with tortilla chips or plain potato chips!

It's pretty awesome...there are large chunks of meat in the chili that make it rather delicious. I tried it with Armour chili once because the store was out of the Cambell's and it wasn't as good.

For us we do the Seven Layer dip, the recipe is on my web site along with a few others ...a hot Quesco dip, Guacomole, Salsa and I buy Hummis & Spinach dip from Walmart....thats why I was looking for a recipe to make my own spinach dip. We also like any kind of chili based dip.

I'm mostly a Cheeseball kind of gal.......yup I like different kinds of cheeseballs!! My favorite recipe is the one I make for my Yummy Mummy and that recipe is on my web site and in Hauntproject.

Cooking's not my expertise, and my measurements are approximate, but everyone seems to like this dip:

1 pkg cream cheese
2 T horseradish (or more)
1 t mustard
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 t garlic salt

2 pkgs of Buddig beef or pastrami

Whip the first six together. Chop 2 pkgs of Buddig sliced beef (or pastrami) chopped into 1/2" squares and add that to the cream cheese mixture.

For the Halloween Party, I make a triple batch and shape the dip into large "eyeballs" on a platter. Then I use cake decorating gel to make pupils and irises, the beef makes them look bloodshot or you can add some red gel for some extra bloodshot. Nothin' like eyeballs served with crackers!

I served these two dips last year at the Halloween party, which means it's entirely possible that both recipes came from this forum. But both were yummed up in no time.

CRANBERRY BLUE CHEESE DIP
1 (3 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1/4 c. chunky blue cheese dressing
3/4 c. Ocean Spray whole berry cranberry sauce
1/4 c. onion, minced
4 drops Tabasco
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. lemon juice

In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, blue cheese dressing and cranberry sauce. Stir in remaining ingredients, mix well until smooth. Keep in refrigerator. Serve with crackers. Makes 2 cups.

Caramel Rum Fruit Dip
1/2 cup Butter
1 (14-ounce) package caramels, unwrapped
1/4 cup chopped pecans
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon rum extract* Substitute 1 tablespoon rum.
Cut-up fresh fruit

1. Melt butter and caramels in 2-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until caramels are melted (12 to 15 minutes). Stir in pecans, milk and rum extract. Stir vigorously to incorporate butter. Keep warm; use as a dip for cut-up fresh fruit.
Makes 1 1/2 cups. *note* I put this one in a mini crock-pot to keep warm.

I made this one for my last luau and MAN was it tasty! It turned out to be one of my favorite things. I served it with shortbread cookies and pretzels (loved it with the cookies!). The recipe also called for finely chopped deli ham being mixed in but that just didn't sound right to me so I omitted it.

Hawaiian Luau Dip
8 oz. cream cheese
1/3 cup sour cream
½ cup whipped topping
1/3 cup honey
1 small can crushed pineapple, drained
Thin crackers, chips, or fruit for dipping

Mix cream cheese and sour cream until well blended. Fold in whipped topping and honey. Stir in the pineapple. Refrigerate for a couple of hours.

OK this is super easy and super delish! I don't know what the name is - but it's a crab and cream cheese dip.

1 package (8 oz?) cream cheese (a little softened helps you spread it)
1 bottle chili sauce (found near cocktail sauce)
1-2 cans minced crab (drain it a little)

Spread the cream cheese over a plate. Top with minced crab and then with chili sauce. Spread it around so it's smooth on top and serve with Ritz Crackers. I'm sure you could "Halloween" this up either with a face made from chopped veggies or just the fact that it looks so "bloody".

Anyway - this is really delicious. I hope you like it.
