| | To make a few different party dips and serve either with old fashioned potato chips or crisp vegetable crudites is a great way to get a party going, or brighten up a regular weeknight. It's rather unnecessary to buy prepacked  dip mixes when it's so easy to make yourself. These party dips are quite interesting and certainly different from your regular onion dip mix. Of course you could experiment and come up with other combinations, mix it up a bit and make something unique and suitable to your family's preferences. In the meantime though, try these different flavoring options: they are quite delicious and would be a nice treat to serve whether for guests, friends or family.
Dip Base
