Get Your Dipstock Invitations Ready

Mark your calendars. The second-ever Dipstock is scheduled for October 24 -31. That’s right. You only have two and half weeks to plan your recipes and plan your dip party!

Saucy Dipper hosted the first-ever Dipstock last July, but I anticipate the upcoming Halloween-themed event to be twice the fun. So far, I’ve heard of dip parties planned in Boulder and San Diego, but surely there are others.

Will you host a dip party? If you need ideas or need help planning a dip party, check out my recent post “How to Host Your Own Dip Party.” You can also read more about it on the official Dipstock page.

Those of you who participate in Dipstock by sharing recipes and photos through the Facebook Group or by submitting the info on the Dipstock page (the form will be live during the event) will receive a Saucy Dipper cookbook and will be eligible for a prize from one of our generous sponsors.

PRIZES FROM SPONSORS!?!?!?

You heard me correctly. A handful of brands have generously offered up full-value coupons to a few lucky winners, which I’ll announce on October 31. Today, I’d like to tell you about a few of those brands today, and I encourage you to check out their recipe ideas, too. Any of these recipes would work great for Dipstock.

Alouette does not use any artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives in its line of soft spreadable cheeses. This makes Alouette the only brand to offer 100% all-natural spreadable cheese flavors. Alouette offers 10 varieties of spreadable cheeses: Garlic & Herbs (made with fresh garlic), Light Garlic & Herbs, Spinach Artichoke, Sundried Tomato & Basil, Savory Vegetable, Creamy Onion & Shallot, Peppercorn Parmesan, Light Cucumber Dill, new Sweet & Spicy Pepper Medley, and Berries & Cream (seasonal).

Alouette also offers all-natural Baby Brie Wedge, which is the only double crème, all-natural Brie available to consumers nationwide.

Swanson Premium Chicken and Frank’s RedHot

Remember my post on How to Make Buffalo Chicken Dip? I used roasted chicken, but it might just be easier to use Swanson Chicken, which is already cooked and ready to use. Check out Swanson’s recipe here -> Buffalo Chicken Dip.
