Hi, guys!! How many of you are busy getting ready for Halloween this week? We are scrambling to put finishing touches on costumes and come up with some freaky-fun food treats for Halloween get-togethers and office pot lucks this week. I took one of our family favorite dishes and gave it a "spookified" makeover for the occasion -- Spooky Seven-Layer Dip! Seven-Layer Dip is super easy to make and, with minimal effort, you can give it a fun Halloween twist.
You will need:
- 2 cans refried beans
- 1 16 oz. carton sour cream
- 1 jar roasted tomato salsa
- 2 C. shredded cheddar cheese
- guacamole
- 3-4 chopped green onions
- 1 can California Black Ripe Olives, chopped
- flour tortillas {for garnish}
- corn tortilla chips
For your graveyard decorations, cut 4 gravestones and a large creepy tree out of flour tortillas and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 400ยบ for a few minutes until golden brown and crispy. Watch the tortilla shapes closely as they bake to avoid burning them. You can add inscriptions on your gravestones using food-safe markers, if desired. Insert your cut tortilla shapes into the dip and serve with corn tortilla chips.
If you make the dip ahead of time, wait and put your tortilla ornaments on just before serving. The moisture in the dip causes the bottom of each shape to loose it's crispiness over time and your tree will start to fall over. This fun dip will be a big hit at your Halloween party, guaranteed!
Have you ever noticed how creepy chopped black olives look? The deep black color of California Ripe Olives makes them perfect for Halloween meals. {Their delicious flavor makes them a perfect pantry staple to add color, flavor and texture to just about any meal.}
For the past several years we have hosted a fun "creepy" dinner for our kids and their friends on Halloween before they head out trick-or-treating. One of the dished the kids love most are the deviled egg eyeballs, with yummy black olive pupils:
They have a great time helping me come up with {and make!} this fun meal every year!
Happy Halloween eating, friends!
