Whether you’re hosting a party or heading to one, you need to make food that stays fresh. Our guacamole cheese dip stays fresh for hours and has everything you love in a dip, including melty cheese, creamy guacamole, and a touch of heat.

We recommend pitas, crostini, French bread, and breadsticks. Make sure they’re toasted for better dipping power.
