Whether you're prepping for a last-minute holiday gathering, hosting a family get-together, or dropping in at a neighbor's house, a great dip can be the perfect crowd-pleaser. Here are five easy ideas that you can pull together in no time using store-bought Heluva Good! Dip.
Color-Coordinate Your Crudite
For an extra-festive look, choose red and green vegetables and arrange them around your favorite dip. Heluva Good! Bodacious Onion Dip, a bold version of everyone's favorite French onion dip, is a great match for crunchy veggies like red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes and snap peas. This dip has a hint of horseradish so it's sure to spice up any party!
Build a Snowman
Pick your three favorite white or light-colored dips—we recommend Heluva Good! Buttermilk Ranch Dip, Heluva Good! French Onion Dip and Heluva Good! Bodacious Onion Dip—then arrange them in a line down the middle of a large platter. Now comes the fun part: Decorate the dips to look like a snowman. Use olives for the eyes and buttons, a carrot of course for the nose, asparagus spears for arms, and then trim bell peppers to form a cute hat and scarf. There's no better way to get kids (and adults) to eat their veggies, especially with a tasty dip involved.
Have a Dip and Decorate Party
Instead of the usual tree-trimming, invite friends over to make some DIY garland: String the traditional popcorn or cranberries, or try something new like potato chips! Just make sure you have plenty of extra chips and other crunchy bites on hand, and some delicious dips to match. Put out a trio so there's something for everyone. Heluva Good! Jalapeño Cheddar Dip is nice and fiery for the heat-seekers in your life. Anyone who loves a smoky bite will appreciate Heluva Good! Bacon Horseradish Dip. And you should always throw in a classic like Heluva Good! French Onion Dip or Heluva Good! Buttermilk Ranch Dip.
Make an Appetizer Wreath
Find a big round platter or board, then place some of your favorite bites on short skewers and arrange in a ring with a big bowl of dip in the middle. To make the platter look like a wreath, fill in all the gaps with rosemary sprigs. Dream up your favorite combos: Try skewers of mini mozzarella balls and roast beef or prosciutto with Heluva Good! Bacon Horseradish Dip or skewer mini meatballs and cherry tomatoes and serve with Heluva Good! Buttermilk Ranch Dip.
Make Individual Dip Cups
Everyone will think you hired a caterer when you bring out a tray of mini dip cups. Just add a few tablespoons of a classic creamy base, like Heluva Good! French Onion Dip, to small disposable cups or short juice glasses, then add thin spears of dippers like cucumber and carrot sticks, endive leaves or any other long veggie. Make them as colorful as you can and everyone can walk and dip at the same time!
