Summary

this festive halloween appetizer is sure to impress, and you can even prep them in advance! whip these up the night before your spooky get-together and pop them in the oven fifteen minutes before guests arrive. i love to serve these with my fried pita bread (recipe here), veggies, or tortilla chips! p.s. you can enjoy the dip on it’s own any time throughout the year, without the extra jack o’lantern steps!
