“This is the classic Hellman’s Artichoke Dip from the late 70s-early 80s,” shared one reviewer. “I’ve been making it for over 40 years. The original calls for a dash of Tabasco. It’s THE standard holiday dip in my family.”

Perfect for Christmas (or New Year’s Eve), this crab dip recipe makes a delicious hot and creamy appetizer that will have your party guests begging for more! Serve with onion or garlic crackers.
“I’ve made this several times over the years, mostly for Christmas appetizers (my family is crazy about appetizers) or other special occasions,” shared one reviewer. “I follow the recipe to the “T” and it’s perfect every time. I did switch it up once. I added some spinach and some artichoke hearts. That was great too.”
Creamy Cheesy Spinach Dip
“This hot spinach dip doesn’t contain mayo or sour cream like most, so it’s very cheesy and very delicious,” says Allrecipes member Miss Brianna Carline, who shared the recipe. “I get asked for the recipe every time I make it. For those who don’t want a strong cheese like Cheddar, you can replace it with anything you like or even leave it out altogether. I like adding the Cheddar because it adds color and a little more flavor.”
Baked Cowboy Dip
“Made this for a New Year’s party and it was a HUGE hit,” said one Allrecipes user. “It did seem like a lot of dip, but it was gone! I was told by the host this is my new signature recipe. We added some Liquid Smoke for interest. 5 stars as is! I love the flexibility of this recipe. Enjoy!”

Festive Bean Spread
