    I made a few modifications, based on what I had (used 16 oz whipped cream cheese, about 3/4 cup sour cream, and a whole package of low sodium taco seasoning. Didn't put the olives in a layer, just made a big spider for the top from a couple and chopped up a few and sprinkled them around. Took it to a potluck and everyone raved about it and wanted the recipe. You could easily vary the top decoration depending on the season. Tasty, easy make-ahead!

    I found this recipe extremely confusing. First off what sort of dish are you suppose to use and why would you only have a very thin layer of the refried beans if you aren't using them again?
    The dish tasted phenomenal but it was a bit of struggle pulling it together. I found attempting to spread the cream cheese layer on the salsa a bit of a struggle so after a while I simply melded them together.

    On the show she only used the black refried beans, but the written recipe calls for two cans of beans, both different beans. Help. WHich one is right?

    This is the first bad recipie I have ever tried from this site. No idea what size dish to use to hold the ingredients. The cream cheese mixture was much too bland (and I don't like Mexican seasoning. A thin coating of guacamole doesn't look very appetizing. Fortunately I was making this for a casual gathering with good friends. From now on I will try your recipes before serving them to guests. Never thought I would have to do that with Food Network.

    I just tried this dip and it was a huge hit! I altered a few things.
    1. Instead of using fresh salsa - I used jarred salsa.
    2. I also just chopped up a can of olives, and reserved a few to make a spider up top instead of a plastic one, then saved a few chopped ones for "bugs" in the spider's web. I didn't use black beans at all in the dip.
    3. I made my own quick quacamole with a package seasoning mix - mostly because it was cheaper that way.
    There were a lot of steps, but I didn't find it confusing at all. And people sure thought it was a big hit at our office Halloween food day!

    I made this for the office Halloween Party last year and it was a great addition to the potluck. I did make my own guac instead of buying the packaged. I ended up having some left over cheese and left that at home for us to enjoy with some crackers. I'm having a gardening club meeting at my home next week and was wondering what I could fix and this is the perfect dish to make. Thanks!

    This recipe was great for the Halloween party I went to. The only thing I would suggest is to get the larger can of sliced olives. Overall it was a hit!

    The spider web effect is great! Made it for my husbands 40th birthday party that falls close to Halloween and everyone just loved it. We're not big fans of black beans so I substituted regular refried beans mixed with more taco seasoning instead. Also used chopped black olives on top.
    Very tasty.
