Ingredients
Directions
- Beat cream cheese, 12 oz sour cream (reserve 4 oz for later), and taco seasoning until smooth.
- Spread the mixture into a 9x13 glass baking dish and smooth the top.
- Gently spoon salsa over the cream cheese layer, then sprinkle with shredded lettuce and cheddar cheese.
- Put the reserved sour cream into a zipper bag, snip a tiny corner, and pipe a spiral starting from the center.
- Drag a toothpick from the center outward in several lines to create a web pattern.
- Make a spider shape using black olives, then chill for 30 minutes before serving.
- Preheat oven to 375°F and get out an oven-safe serving bowl.
- Thaw frozen spinach and squeeze it dry to avoid watery dip.
- Chop artichoke hearts into small pieces.
- In a bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella, parmesan, and garlic powder until evenly mixed.
- Fold in the spinach and artichokes, then spread into the oven-safe bowl.
- Bake 20–25 minutes until hot and bubbly, then stir and serve warm with chips or bread.
- Cube the melting cheese block and place in a microwave-safe serving bowl.
- Add diced tomatoes with green chiles and milk.
- Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring each time, until smooth and glossy.
- Spoon sour cream into a zipper bag, snip the corner, and drizzle bandage-like lines across the top.
- Add two tiny olive pieces as eyes, then serve immediately.
- Spread hummus onto a wide shallow serving platter and smooth the top.
- Sprinkle crushed black olives over sections to resemble dirt.
- Use a black edible food marker to write “RIP” on rectangular crackers.

- Serve with extra crackers or veggies around the edges for dipping.
- Scoop avocados into a mixing bowl and mash to your preferred texture.
- Stir in lime juice, diced red onion, diced tomato, and salt.
- Spoon into a medium serving bowl and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.

- Chill for 15 minutes so the design sets before serving.
- Beat cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth and fluffy.
- Add marshmallow fluff, powdered sugar, and vanilla, then beat again until creamy.
- Divide the dip into 3 bowls: leave one white, tint one with yellow food coloring, and tint one with yellow plus orange coloring.
- Layer orange on the bottom of a clear trifle bowl, then yellow, then white.
- Chill at least 30 minutes so the layers stay neat when scooped.
- Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease an 8x8 baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, stir cream cheese, sour cream, and Italian seasoning until smooth.
