Instructions
Buffalo Chicken Dip
- Preheat oven to 375F and spray a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray; set aside.
- To a medium bowl, add the chicken, buffalo sauce, and stir to combine; set aside.
- To a large bowl, add the cream cheese and beat with a handheld electric mixer until soft and fluffy.
- Add the mayo, ranch or blue cheese dressing, 3/4 cup cheddar cheese, 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, and beat to combine.
- Add the chicken and stir to combine.
- Turn mixture out into prepared pie dish, evenly sprinkle with the remaining 3/4 cup cheddar cheese, remaining 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, and bake for about 25 minutes or until lightly golden browned around the edges and bubbly. Evenly garnish with green onions before serving with potato or tortilla chips, or celery sticks. Pair with Blue Moon Mango Wheat. Dip is best warm and fresh.
Taco Dip

- To a medium bowl, add the cream cheese, and beat with a handheld electric mixer until soft and fluffy.
- Add the sour cream and beat to combine.
- Turn mixture out over the refried beans in the pie dish. Tip - I like to make the subsequent layers just a bit smaller in diameter so that with each successive layer, you can get a glimpse of what's underneath.
- Evenly pour the salsa out over the cream cheese-sour cream layer, evenly sprinkle the cheese, olives, green onions, and either serve immediately with tortilla chips or cover and chill in the fridge for up to 24 hours before serving. Pair with Sol. Dip will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Chocolate Candy Bar Dip
- To a medium, microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate and heat on high power to melt, about 1 minute. Stir until smooth and set aside to cool.
- To a large bowl, add the cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar, and beat with a handheld electric on medium-high speed until smooth and fluffy; stop to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- Add the vanilla and beat on medium-high speed to incorporate, about 15 seconds.
- Add 1 heaping cup candy bar pieces, optional salt, and stir by hand to incorporate.
- Add the cooled milk chocolate and fold lightly to incorporate using a spatula. Don’t overmix if you want to see swirls of white and chocolate.
