More Delicious Hot Dip Recipes from Allrecipes.com 

I love a good hot or warm dip. They make the perfect "help yourself" appetizers and they taste good after they've cooled down a bit too so don't worry about heating plates or warming trays.

I have noticed that they stay warm a little longer if you cook them in stoneware and they make a pretty presentation served that way too.

My Favorite Hot Dip Recipes 

Not long ago we were planning my son's Graduation party and I went on a dip search. I found tons and tons of delicious dips but I have to say these three are the ones I keep coming back to. They are my most valued finds.

Each of these is perfect as an appetizer at a party but can almost be made into a meal. They are that good!

Keep the ingredients on hand and you'll always be able to turn any night into party night.
Taco Dip
Taco Dip II from Allrecipes.com This one is my favorite!
Clam Dip
Hot Clam Dip IV from Allrecipes.com. I like this one alot. It tastes like baked clams.
Artichoke and Spinach Dip

My All Time Favorite Cold Dip Recipes 

These are Classic

Two of my all time favorite cold dips have been around for years. They are the good old-fashioned Lipton Onion Soup Dip and the Knorr Spinach Dip.

These classic dips are always looked for and appreciated by my guests. I love trying out new recipes but sometimes they aren't as good as you'd hoped they might be. By serving these two dips alongside of the newer recipes you'll always be certain of having something great to serve your friends and family.

I've got to say that the hot crab parmesan and the hot cheesy spinach would be listed at the top of my favorites. I wanted to give you a really simple two ingredient fruit dip recipe as well. My step-mother used to make it all the time after she had it in Paris. It is simply brown sugar and sour cream, mixed to taste. SSimple and yet perfect for dipping any fruit. Great lens with some fantastic dips.
