Serving up dips for a game is also an excellent excuse to pull out my favorite lil Georgia dish.
The dips were both super easy and yummy. (These recipes have that "ingredients are delicious alone and even better together" thing going for them.)
The one I plucked from the DipTacular links was Warm & Creamy Bacon Dip (!). I saw it once in a Daisy sour cream ad, so an independent confirmation that it was as tasty as it looked was enough for me to try it!
The second, via Pinterest, was a "caramel" dip for fruit. Embarrassingly easy.
See below for both. Enjoy!
Warm & Creamy Bacon Dip
Adapted from Daisy
via here
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 cups sour cream
4-5 pieces of bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup chopped green onion
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
1. Mix all ingredients together in a medium bowl.
2. Pour into 1.5 quart baking dish and cover.
3. Bake 25-30 minutes until hot and bubbly.
We had it with cubed French bread, which was perfect! I think it would also be good with crackers. (Daisy recommends serving with veggies, but...that would just be insulting to the dip!) I wasn't totally sure what texture to expect, but it was similar to queso/fondue when hot and got a little thicker as it cooled. I also stirred it up after I took it out.

I served this dip with green apples (yum!), but I think it would be great with any fruit. Or on toast. Or brownies. Or your spoon... My dear husband doesn't like toffee--I know--so we had it without. It was still good!
