Fireside nibbles—one simply can’t get enough of them. This eye-catching dip is so easy to prepare: just whip it up in a blender and serve with your choice of veggies or bread crisps for scooping. Equally delicious spread on crostini and topped with bruschetta.
Bubble-licious
Dip can also be served warm. Transfer dip without toppings to a small microwave or oven-safe baking dish. Heat in microwave until bubbly, or bake uncovered in 400 F oven until bubbly and golden on top. Garnish with toppings and serve.
