Really, have truer words ever been uttered? A cheesy, creamy or spicy dip is a welcome crowd-pleaser on an appetizer tray. So might we suggest bookending your next party with an equally delightful dish? That's right: Dip is for dessert now (and frankly, it's easier to make than whipping up a cake, a pie or even cookies).

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip
This creamy dip tastes just like the spoonfuls of dough everyone loves to sneak out of the mixing bowl.
Who can resist a bowl filled to the brim with a favorite summer treat? Serve this after-dinner dip with pound cake or shortbread cookies to truly mimic the classic dish.
Bring the comfort of a campfire treat indoors with this easy dessert. Our recipe calls for a layer of homemade chocolate sauce, but you can use your favorite prepared fudge sauce to whip it up even quicker.
If you wait all year for this tangy, summery pie to appear, you'll love its deconstructed cousin. Use graham crackers as dippers for a familiar finishing touch.
Who says you need ice cream to indulge in all your favorite sundae toppings? Be sure to pick dippers that are a little savory, such as pretzel rods. They'll balance the sweetness of this dip nicely.
