Kick Ass Party Dip to Bring All the Boys to the Yard

Are you a dip loser? You know, one who serves (or brings) a crappy dip at a party? Sure you are. And there it sits, the crappy dip. The dip nobody touches. The dip that congeals. The dip that doesn't move. Remember my Grama's Green Bean Tureen? That dish always came back from the church potluck more than halfway full. 'Member that? Aww, Gram.

Well, your dip loser days are no longer. This cocktail party dip is so special, it'll make you more popular than you are in your wildest dreams. Picture fellow party goers hoisting you on their shoulders and parading you about the room with boistrous chants of BEST FUCKIN DIP! BEST FUCKIN DIP! BEST FUCKIN DIP! BEST FUCKIN' DIP! BEST FUCKIN' DIP! You're all smiles, clasping your hands and cheering for yourself. Everyone will eat the dip. Everyone will be sad when its gone. Everyone will want the recipe. Everyone will have just a little more respect for you. And who doesn't need that? My advice? Double up on the respect by doubling up (or tripling up) on this recipe. This dip goes fast. Like, supersonic immediamento.
