    The holidays - and the big game day - are coming up, are you ready with party food ideas? Here are more than 20 of the best dip recipes, to start!

    4 part image showing various dips. Overlaid text says 25 plus delicious dip recipes.

    When I moved out on my own in my teens, there were exactly 2 dips in my regular roster - onion soup mix with sour cream, and salsa mixed with sour cream.

    Not to knock either of them, but I’d say my list of favourite dips has definitely evolved over time... both in quality, and variety.

    Now, I have savory dips and sweet dips, hot dips and cold dips, super healthy dips, and ... well, my bacon cheeseburger dip, LOL.

    I even have dip recipes that were specifically meant to be cooked over a campfire!

    With the holiday season AND football season coming up, I figured it’s about time to gather them all - from 4 of my separate food blogs - and share them, in one place.

    Most of these dip recipes use really simple ingredients , and will go well with a variety of dippers - fresh veggies (celery sticks, carrot sticks, and sliced cucumber are our favs), salty potato chips, tortilla chips, pita chips, bagel chips... or even my Homemade Keto Tortilla Chips.

    Use a regular serving bowl or a bread bowl... if you’re feeling extra, you can try my Halloween Spider Bread Bowl!

    On that note... If you’re hosting a super bowl party, my homemade Football Soft Pretzel Bites are a fantastic dipper, especially for hot, cheesy dips.

    However you serve them - or whatever you serve them with - these are some of the best appetizers to serve at any get together.

    Pro tip: Any leftover dip you may find yourself with will GENERALLY be good for 3-4 days, if kept in an airtight container in the fridge - just give it a good stir before serving. Also, hot dips do best if cooled to room temperature before covering.

    Share the Love!
