Need a fun dip recipe

We're doing a  dip day at work.  It usually means that we graze all day.  Fine by me!  :)
I'm sure someone is taking a Texas Caviar.  My usual is buffalo wing dip but I'd like to take something different.  It can even be something more on the dessert side.

I was thinking an eggplant dip but I'm not sure this crowd would go for it. 

Re: Need a fun dip recipe

  • peanut butter dip with apple slices, celery, and chocolate graham crackers

    shrimp dip with some bagette, cucumber, celery

    Pumpkin dip with nilla wafers and ginger snaps
    8 oz cream cheese
    7 oz marshmallow cream
    1 cup powdered sugar
    15 oz pumpkin
    1 tsp cinnamon

    I have not tried these, but have pinned them and they look good

    5 Layer greek dip

    Pina Colada fruit dip

    Baba Ganoush (since you mentioned eggplant and I'm curious if this is good)

  • Thanks 6!  I can't remember where I found the baba ganoush recipe I've made but it's pretty similar except for the parsley.  So if you make the recipe it's delish even if you leave out the parsley :)  It was also a great snack for my baby. 
    Out of all these recipes, I think I'm liking the two sweet recipes. 

    But the other two recipes look awesome too for some other time, so thanks for those too!

  • Pumpkin dip is great, especially since Fall is in full swing.  It looks extra festive if you can find a pumpkin to serve it in. Another sweet dip that I love is cannoli dip.  Everyone gobbles that up when I make it.

  • Hi!  Sorry I didn't reply earlier.  Here is my easy "go-to" dip:

    Hot Artichoke Dip:

    Take a very large jar of seasoned marinated Artichoke Hearts and drain. I usually get these at BJ's or Costco.   Add lots of Mayo to cover and mash-up really well.  Then add lots and lots of grated Parmesan and Romano Cheese.  Coat it!  Add more Mayo if necessary... pour into a glass 8" square baking dish or pie plate. Sprinkle with Paprika and more Italian Seasoning.

    Heat at 350 desgrees for 45-minutes and then serve. (If you can use one of those smaller dip-sized slow cookers to keep it warm at work that would be great).

    Display with Cracker or Bread Slices.

    So good!

  • Thanks all. I went with the pumpkin dip and it was a hit! Our chip & dip day was yesterday and i'm still bloated, LOL!
  • Glad you enjoyed!  I should give my sister credit for turning me onto it.  DH loves that one.
  • I would love to try pumpkin dip.

     

  • This is really late, but someone at work brought cool whip funfetti dip and vanilla wafers - YUM!  TONS of recipes all over online but this is the general idea:

     

    1 (18.9 oz) box Funfetti cake mix
    2 cups fat-free plain yogurt
    1 cup lite Cool Whip

    In a large bowl, mix together cake mix, plain yogurt and Cool Whip until completely combined and you see no more lumps.  Cover with plastic wrap and allow to chill for about 4 hours.  Garnish with additional sprinkles if desired and serve with crackers/wafers
