85 Delicious Party Dips That Will Get More Attention Than The Game
When I dip, you dip, we dip.
Super Bowl is THIS Sunday, so it’s time to start planning for the life of your party: dips, ofc! Savory, spicy, and sweet dips are always the star of the show, especially during football season when you need delicious, flavorful appetizers and snacks that don’t take a ton of work (or forethought). Check out our favorite dips for ideas, then grab a bag of your favorite chips and your favorite spot on the couch—these will guarantee your guests are well-fed without you having to spend all your time in the kitchen on game day.
Okay, okay, it’s true that no game day party is complete without more involved things like chicken wings, nachos, and sliders, but we implore you to fill out your spread with at least one dip, for your and your guests’ sakes. The only thing worse than no snacks at a party is serving only the kind of snacks that require extra plates and utensils, constant refills, and maneuvering around an app table trying not to spill your beer (or touchdown punch, perhaps?). Dips are the perfect happy medium. They’re relatively hands-off, they’re major crowd-pleasers, and the only serving implement you have to worry about is what kind of chips or crudités you’ll pair alongside them.
Plus, you’re going to loooove being known as the friend who takes dips to new levels. We’ve got classics like spinach & artichoke, 7-layer, refried bean, and Buffalo chicken, of course, but we’re extra proud of the ones that push the flavor envelope even further. Check out our Nashville hot chicken dip, our Funfetti dip, our cheesy mini meatball skillet dip, our cannoli dip, and more to see what we mean. Hot tip: Dips are always a welcome potluck dish in lieu of casseroles or beverages (or ice, no shade if you’re that person!).

Here’s our favorite deli sandwich, dip-ified! This chunky, fully loaded appetizer has all the savory, crunchy, and creamy elements and meatiness you love in a traditional hoagie, but spoonable and totally shareable.

Rotel Dip
Rotel dip is an easy party dip to assemble and comes together all in one pot so you can say goodbye to washing all those extra dishes. It’s a perfect dip to make and keep warm in a slow cooker for events that run hours long (Super Bowl Sunday, anyone?).

Sour Cream & Onion Dip
Letting the onions caramelize properly is key to the flavor of this dip. Going low and slow allows them to develop color while breaking down and becoming sweet and jammy. Stir them into this easy dip with some chives, and you have a simple appetizer that's wildly delicious.

Spinach Artichoke Dip
While beer cheese, Buffalo chicken, and queso will always have special places in our hearts, we keep coming back to good ol' spinach & artichoke dip. Full of creamy, cheesy goodness, it really is the dip to end all dips.

Super Bread Bowl Dip
Class up the traditional spinach-artichoke dip by swapping in everyone's favorite superfood: kale. For game day, we baked this delicious dip in a football-shaped bread bowl, but it's just as delicious without it (so you can make it year round!).

7-Layer Dip
This truly has everything we could ever want in a dip: refried beans, homemade guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and cheese (😍) all topped with fresh veggies for an added crunch. You'll never buy the store-bought version again after trying this homemade dip.

Pull-Apart Garlic Bread Pizza Dip
We wanted to make sure this pizza-and-garlic-bread-inspired dip was absolutely perfect, so we tested it over and over (and over) again until it was. Make this and it'll be gone in 10 seconds flat—we can almost guarantee it.
Skillet Beer Cheese
No matter the occasion, this dip is sure to get the party started. All you need are cheese, beer, a few staple spices and a skillet, and you’ve got a crowd-pleasing appetizer on your hands that will be the star of any campfire feast or game day spread.

Loaded Black Bean Dip

Get the Loaded Black Bean Dip recipe.
Corn Dip
While some corn dip is served cold, we prefer to serve our corn dip hot, baked, and bubbling. Follow our recipe, and in 40 minutes, you’ll have a perfect warm dip to wow at your Super Bowl party.

Hot Crab Dip
This hot crab dip is packed with melty cheese and tender, sweet crab meat that serves as the perfect opener to any game day or meal. Serve it with plenty of toasted bread or buttery crackers! Or you can do what we do and shamelessly go at it with a spoon. 😉
Get the Hot Crab Dip recipe.
Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip
A creamy, cheesy spinach artichoke dip that’s completely vegan? Not possible! Oh, but it is. Vegan alternatives to cheeses and mayonnaise are thankfully much more common in most grocery stores, making one of our favorite dips and appetizers more enjoyable for everyone.
Get the Vegan Spinach Artichoke Dip recipe.
Funfetti Dip
This Funfetti dip is a fluffy mixture of butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar, with nostalgic flavor coming from imitation vanilla extract and a little crunch from confetti sprinkles. Think white cake laced with confetti sprinkles that explode into colorful polka dots (just like in our perfect birthday cake).
Get the Funfetti Dip recipe.
Queso Dip
Want to get the party started? Put out a pot of queso. Studded with tomato, jalapeño, and cilantro, this warm and creamy cheesy dip is a classic party food for a reason—we’ve yet to meet anyone who can resist loading up a chip (or two).
