Individual 7 Layer Dip Cups
Try my simple Mexican dip snack cups recipe, so that your family can enjoy their own individual 7 layer dip with tortilla chips.
I love a delicious layered dip, but a full sized one tends look unappetizing after others have dug into it.
When you serve the dip in individual snack cups, it is convenient to eat every bit of the seven layers.
The hand held appetizer will be enjoyed by adults and kids for a special occasion or a regular family movie night or backyard picnic at home.
If you have a picky eater in your family who doesn’t like olives or wants extra cheese, you can easily customize their cup.
This is one of those recipes that is really easy to put together, but looks like something special!
