These budget-friendly dips are perfect for your next family or friend gathering. Sweet, savory, and easy to make!
Tis’ the season for graduation parties, birthday parties, end of school year parties, heck, people just like to party! And since I’m partying a little bit different these days, I tend to be the one who brings the food or offers to bring a dish to pass. Admittedly, I like being the food lady!
Last week I had the pleasure of bringing 3 different budget-friendly dips to a friend’s gathering and let’s just say, party-goers were beyond impressed with the flavor, taste, and overall presentation of the spread. Not tooting my own horn here people… but these budget-friendly dips were almost embarrassingly easy to make!
Budget-Friendly Dip 1: Brownie Batter Dip
Recipe: 1 box of brownie mix, 1 tub of cool whip, 2 tablespoons of milk, 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, cookies or graham crackers for dipping. Stir it all together [hand mixer worked best] and voila! Brownie batter dip! Just make sure you refrigerate until serving.
Budget-Friendly Dip 2: Mexican Corn Dip
Recipe: 2 cans of fire roasted corn [drained], 1 cup of mixed bell peppers [chopped], 2-3 tablespoons of taco seasoning [depends on how much spice you want], 1/2 cup of mayo, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, diced chilies [optional], green onions for serving. Oh and scoop-like chips for serving!
Budget-Friendly Dip 3: Layered Hummus Dip.
My go-to for parties. Recipe HERE.
There were hardly any leftovers and that’s telling you something… these dips were THAT good. Here’s to hoping they inspire you to be the food lady for the next gathering you’re invited to!
