Three Holiday Dips That You Need for Your Next Party!

This is a sponsored post in partnership with Pyrex. All opinions are my own.

It's the holidays and you know the routine. You get invited to your first of many parties of the season, and right after you dig your ugly Christmas sweater out of the back of the closet, you need to decide on what meal you will bring. Add that to the fact that you need food that both little kids with Santa hats, and grown adults adorned in reindeer themed clothing, will eagerly consume. Don't worry, I have you covered. Here is a dessert dip and two appetizer dips that will easily get you through this season and beyond. The only downsides are that your party hosts will now expect you to make these tasty dips year after year and probably try to steal the Pyrex dishes that you brought the dips in as well!

The thing I love about dips is that they are perfect for parties. You can pair them with a variety of dipping foods to create amazing combinations. When you bring a couple varieties, they can be very versatile because someone may not be in the mood for bean dip, but they are craving a dessert. Plus, dips are easy to fit on those tiny little party plates that you carry around to engage in the 1,239 conversations you will have that night. You need to bring a dessert? There's a dip for that. You are required to bring an appetizer? Dips have you covered. Need a main course? Well, my holiday seven layer dip is pretty much as filling as a burrito without the tortilla. It will only take a few minutes to check out each of my dip recipes below, but don't forget to also enter my Pyrex giveaway at the end!
