Pull-Apart Garlic Bread Pizza Dip

A shareable party dip is a must-have on Super Bowl Sunday, and this recipe is one of our favorites (sorry, Buffalo chicken dip). In it, we layer cheesy garlic bread (made from refrigerated biscuits!) on top of a pizza-inspired dip, made from a creamy ricotta, cream cheese, mini pepperonis, and mozzarella. 😍

Funfetti Dip

This Funfetti dip is a fluffy mixture of butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar, with nostalgic flavor coming from imitation vanilla extract and a little crunch from confetti sprinkles. Think white cake laced with confetti sprinkles that explode into colorful polka dots (just like in our perfect birthday cake).

Super Bread Bowl Dip

Nothing says game day like a party dip, especially classic spinach-artichoke. We took the Super Bowl vibes one step further in this recipe by baking a kale-artichoke dip in a football-shaped bread bowl made from refrigerated bread dough. The result is just as adorable to look at as it is delicious to eat.

Greek Feta Dip

Loaded with cucumbers, tomatoes, and feta, this dip was inspired by Greek salad. Full disclaimer: This recipe makes a lot of dip. We've never had a problem demolishing it with some fluffy pita bread, but feel free to halve it if necessary.

Cheesy Mini Meatball Skillet Dip

Part cheese dip, part meatballs, this skillet dip is not only delicious but a fun activity for the whole family. Top the whole skillet with a generous sprinkling of thinly sliced scallions, and you’ve got one colorful party on a chip.

Caramelized Onion Dip

With this recipe, we take the classic onion dip one step further by incorporating deeply caramelized onions into the mix. It takes a little longer than you might think (we’re talking at least one hour), but we promise it’s worth it.

Corn Dip

A cream cheese base with a hint of heat makes this corn-packed appetizer one that pleases at every gathering. While some corn dip is served cold, we prefer to serve ours hot, baked, and bubbling. In just 40 minutes, you’ll have a perfect warm dip to wow at your Super Bowl party or Cinco de Mayo celebrations.

Cheesy Sausage Dip

Sausage dip is a simple and humble dish that's unbelievably good. It's kind of like a pub cheese, but with SAUSAGE. It will satisfy every craving, whether it's game day or just another Friday night.

Crab Artichoke Dip

When it comes to hot party dips, two reign supreme in our book: spinach and artichoke dip and hot crab dip. We love both so much that we decided why not combine them?

Cheesy Bacon Spinach Dip

While spinach-artichoke dip is perfectly creamy and cheesy on its own, it's also ripe for additions and creative takes. One of our favorite ways to upgrade it?Add everyone's favorite: bacon. It bulks up the app, and gives an smoky, savory flavor that takes it to another level.

Pub Cheese

This recipe couldn't be more party-friendly. It whips up in minutes, and you only have to dirty one bowl. This is wonderful with big hard or soft pretzels (homemade, maybe?), but truly anything goes.

Cheesy Refried Bean Dip

There's plenty of black bean dips out there (our black bean dip and taco dip to name a few), but refried beans take the center stage in this recipe. Cream cheese and sour cream are added to make thing extra creamy too. Yum!

Crockpot Buffalo Chicken Dip

Is it even really a Super Bowl party without Buffalo chicken dip? We think not. If you're looking for the most hands-off version of this classic recipe, turn to your trusty slow cooker.

Pretzel Ring Beer Cheese Dip

We decided to take classic beer cheese up a notch by surrounding it in a ring of the staple pairing: pretzeled biscuits. The creamy dip and the pretzel ring bake together, making this two-in-one party party snack almost too easy to make and share.

Pickle Dip

Pickle fans, this one's for you! Serve this dip with extra crunchy potato chips, buttery Ritz crackers, or pita chips—anything sturdy that will hold up to those delicious pickle pieces.

Jambalaya Dip

Everything you love about jambalaya—in DIP form. It's perfect for the Super Bowl, for Mardi Gras celebrations, or just any time you've got a craving for Cajun flavors.
