FAQ

Top Tips

Make sure to use a block of cream cheese and not cream cheese spread when making cream cheese dip recipes.

It's always a good idea to mark the date on dishes you've store for later.

When taking one of these cream cheese dips to a friend's house, let her know ahead of time that you'll need to warm up the dish. Bring it in your oven-safe baking dish and just pop it in the oven. Remember to set the timer!

If your dish has a garnish, pack it in a separate baggie and add it after it comes out of the oven for the best presentation. When serving these dips, make sure to include a small spreader knife.

I like serving a few different dips and this multi-tiered dish works great as it won't take a lot of room on a table and looks so nice.
