Jalapeno Popper Dip

This dip is the new 'crack' dip. It's delicious and addictive. You can make it as mild or as spicy as you want. To make it mild, scrape out all of the seeds and ribs (white parts) from the jalapenos and throw em out. To make it spicier, add more of the seeds and ribs from the jalapenos.


This dip is great for making ahead of time and warming it up when you're ready to eat. Make this for your next party and people will beg for the recipe.


I apologize in advance for this picture. It does not do the dip justice at all.
