When it comes to planning a game day or birthday, girls night or office party, potluck to a baby shower, and every occasion in between, the one thing that truly brings a group of people together is, say it with me, DIPS! Whether your next gathering is full of celebration and cheer, or rehashing family drama, we all come together around a bowl of dip. It’s easy to tell why! Dips are some of the most versatile snacks and appetizers that can be modified and updated for nearly any occasion.

When the party guests come through, you’re going to want to make sure you have plenty of small bites around to help soak up the cocktails. To keep the good vibes going, give our tiramisu dip, whipped ricotta with olives & roasted red peppers, or cranberry brie biscuit dip a try. And we haven’t forgotten about the biggest dip day of the year, the Super Bowl — our guacamole, spinach artichoke dip, and football field dip are sure to make everyone feel like a winner (even if their team isn't).

No matter what time of year, it pays to remember the classics are the classics for a reason—and we have plenty of classics. For any occasion, our bacon spinach dip, queso dip, 7-layer dip, and many more are sure to keep the good times going. And while we typically think of dips more as snacks and starters, there’s no rule saying you can’t make a meal out of it! For a heartier, more filing option, check out our Nashville hot chicken dip or cheesy mini meatball skillet dip.

For any time or day or reason for play, these 86 dip recipes are sure to keep you and yours satisfied.
