Spider’s Nest Dip
For a similar recipe, check out this Spooky Halloween 7 Layer Dip Recipe from Six Sisters’ Stuff.
One year, my friend held a Halloween costume party, and for her Halloween costume, she was Black Widow spider, the poisonous spider with a telltale red hourglass on its belly. This friend coordinated a lot of her Halloween costume party cuisine to go with her spider costume. For an appetizer, she served Spiders Nest Dip, which sounds a bit gruesome but is a definite crowd-pleaser. It also went perfectly with her spider Halloween costume!
Ingredients
- 16 ounces cream cheese
- taco seasoning packet
- one cup sour cream
- refried beans
- shredded or jack cheese
- salsa or guacamole
Directions
- For this recipe, mix 16 ounces cream cheese with a packet of taco seasonings and a cup of sour cream.
- Next, spread a layer of refried beans on the bottom of a oven-safe dish and sprinkle a handful of cheddar or jack cheese over the top.
- Place dish in oven at 300 degrees until the cheese has melted.
- Use either homemade or store-bought salsa and guacamole for this next step: layer salsa, then some of your cream cheese mixture, and last, some guacamole.
- Continue to layer your items until you run out of ingredients: beans, shredded cheese, salsa, cream cheese mixture, and guacamole.
- Last, when you have used up all of your layering ingredients, place a spoonful of sour cream in the middle of the spider’s nest.
- Place about a cup of sour cream in a plastic ziplock or grocer bag, whatever you have on hand.
- Cut a hole in one corner and, carefully squeezing the bag, draw concentric circles around the spoonful of sour cream. Put as many circles as you can without them blending together.
- Finally, use a pointed object like a toothpick to drag lines from the nest to the outside of the web. It will create a lovely web design.
- Serve with your favorite chips and garnish with plastic spiders.
