Hot Dip Recipes

I am looking to make some hot dips for a party I will be going to in a few weeks.

I was thinking of a clam dip or some kind of cheese dip. I've seen both of them at parties before.

Does anyone have a good recipe that they've made before and would like to share?

TIA!
Melissa

Re: Hot Dip Recipes

I second the Buffalo Chicken Dip, especially with the Chicken in a Biscuit Crackers, soooo good!

Re: Hot Dip Recipes

Ohhh....my Mom makes a really good clam dip. I'll ask her for it tomorrow and post it.


Also, the Buffalo Chicken Dip is good!! I always make a bean/salsa dip too.

Re: Hot Dip Recipes

I call this Heartattack Dip -

Personally, I find it repulsive, but EVERYONE LOVES it and always asks that I make it/bring it/share the recipe -

Blue Cheese Bacon Dip

2 bricks cream cheese
1 clove chopped garlic
Small Container Crumbled Blue Cheese
Crumbled Bacon (I just use the Hormel "real bacon" bacon bits - They're not like regular bacon bit flakes, they're more like chopped up real bacon)

Mix it all together, bake at 350 for 20 min and serve .........
ETA - I forgot the garlic
