Decadent Dips for Your Holiday Spread

It will be a challenge saving room for the main course with any of these impressive dips on display at your holiday celebration.

Layered Crab Rangoon Dip

New Orleans Barbecue Shrimp Dip

This super-flavorful dip is inspired by the spicy shrimp dishes of New Orleans. The sour cream and cream cheese base creates tangy flavor and creamy texture.

Roasted Broccoli and Cheddar Cheese Dip

This savory dip features the classic combo of earthy broccoli and rich, tangy cheddar. Like most cheese dips it's best devoured immediately after it's prepared, while the sauce is piping hot. Be sure to use mild cheddar in this recipe, as sharp cheddars tend to get grainy when cooked in this type of sauce.

Creamy Potato and Roasted Red Pepper Dip

This tangy potato dip is loosely based on the classic Greek skordalia and gets zip from a hefty dose of blanched garlic and fresh lemon juice. A quick roasted red pepper sauce is spooned into the middle of the potatoes to add even more flavor to this crowd-pleasing appetizer.

Gouda-and-Beer Fondue Bread Bowl

This delicious fondue is served in a bowl that you can also eat once the fondue is gone. For heartier fare, serve the fondue with pieces of cooked bratwurst as well as the bread and fruit.

Seven-Layer Cranberry Cobb Dip

This festive dip is similar to a layered salad. Try scooping a mound of it onto a plate (make sure you get all the layers) and then spreading it on your favorite crackers.
