A Fun and Easy Halloween Party Food Idea
This isn’t your ordinary bean dip… It’s a festive bean dip! For real, though, bean dip is one of those party foods I can never get enough of. Can you go wrong with refried beans, guacamole, sour cream, and salsa? The answer is no, no you cannot.
As far as bean dips go, this one’s ingredients are pretty standard, but what sets it apart is the super awesome spider web made of sour cream and olive-spiders on top! I mean, does it get cuter than that? If there’s something I love more than bean dip, it’s probably food matching a theme. And this dish NAILS it.
Don’t overthink the spider web as you draw it. It’ll come together, and then the little spiders will make it evident what it is. You will impress the party guests with your artistic abilities and a tasty snack that everyone loves!
What is bean dip made of?
Bean dip is made using refried beans, taco seasoning, salsa, sour cream, guacamole, cheese, olives, tomatoes, and green onions. Basically, the yummiest ingredients ever.
What goes well with bean dip?
Tortilla chips are the obvious choice! But you can also use firm veggies for dipping (like bell pepper slices, carrots, or cucumbers), pretzels, crackers, Fritos, or tortillas. The more, the merrier!
How long does homemade bean dip last?
This isn’t a great dish to keep around for leftovers because of the guacamole. If you do have leftovers, I recommend enjoying them within 24 hours while everything still tastes fresh! To use up leftover I’ll often roll them up in a tortilla for lunch and call it a bean burrito.
Easy Halloween Bean Dip
Ingredients
- 1 can refried beans, (14.5-ounce )
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup chunky salsa
- 1 cup + 1/3 cup sour cream, separated
- 1 cup guacamole
- 2 cups cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup tomatoes, diced
- 2 to 3 green onions, chopped
- 4 to 5 black olives
- Tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- In a small bowl, add the refried beans, taco seasoning, and salsa. Stir to combine.
- Spread the bean mixture in the bottom of a round 9-inch baking dish.
- Spread 1 cup of sour cream over the beans.
- Spread guacamole over the sour cream.
- Sprinkle the cheese around the edge of the dish, about 2 inches wide.
- Sprinkle tomatoes and green onions around the edge on top of the cheese.
- Add the remaining 1/3 cup of sour cream to a zipper-topped baggie. Cut a small hole in one corner. Use this as a pipping bag to make a spider web.
- Start by making a line down the center of the plate; add a line across that one to make a large plus sign. Add two more lines in between these so that you have 4 intersecting lines. Make scalloped circles, line to line, moving outward. This is your spider web.
- To make the olive spiders, cut one olive in half, top to bottom. This is the body of the spider. Place round side up in the pan on the sour cream “web.”
- Slice another olive in half and then thinly slice each half into 4 pieces — these are the legs. Put the legs next to the body, 4 on each side. You can add as many spiders as you like.
- Cover and keep in the fridge until you are ready to serve. Serve within 24 hours of making.
- Serve with your favorite tortilla chips.
Notes
- Don’t overthink the spider web. People get what you were going for because there’s spiders on top!
