Buffalo Chicken Dip for Halloween, Football and More!

Tis the season for chips and dips!  Football season means easy foods to munch on as you’re watching the college game on Saturday or the Pro on Sunday!  I have some favorites, including the Mexi-Melt of Beans – my father-in-laws favorite!  Here’s another one that will have you wanting to lick the bowl!

Kicking it Up a Notch for Halloween

How can you make the Buffalo Chicken Dip more festive for Halloween or Thanksgiving?  I’ve found that both olives and pepperoni slice work wonders!  Use them to create a pumpkin shape or a witches broom on top of the dip. I’ve also used apple and pear slices.  How about you? What are favorite ways to make spooky Halloween or fall-themed meals?
