Welcome to a bug-tastic cooking adventure where we whip up. This creamy, dreamy dip will have you jumping for joy! Perfect for parties, picnics, or anytime you want to make snack time a blast. Let’s hop to it, little chefs!
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened, regular or dairy-free)
- ½ cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a twist)
- 2 tablespoons hot honey (or regular honey with a splash of hot sauce)
- ¼-⅓ cup diced green peppers (for extra crunch—swappable with cucumbers for less spice!)
- 3 tablespoons chopped green onions (more for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (pungent and zesty!)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (dairy-free options also work)
- Salt and pepper (to taste, of course!)
- Love and fun (a sprinkle of each, and a good mood helps too!)
Instructions
Step 1: 🌟 Let’s get that oven warmed up! Preheat it to 375°F. Get your mixing bowl ready to create magic!
Step 2: 🎩 In a medium mixing bowl, toss in your softened cream cheese and mayonnaise. Grab a hand mixer or your trusty spoon and blend until it’s as smooth as a bug’s back!
Step 3: 🎉 Now, it’s party time! Stir in the hot honey and those colorful diced green peppers. Mix it up with half of your shredded cheese, green onions, garlic powder, and seasonings. It should look like the perfect blend for a buggy dip!
Step 4: 🐞 Fold in the rest of your shredded cheese—because who doesn’t love ooey-gooey cheese? Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish, and smooooth it out like a butterfly gliding through the air!
Step 5: 🥳 Bake for 22 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown. Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t hop out of the dish!
When it’s ready: 🐇 Drizzle a little more hot honey on top for a sweet finale and sprinkle with the remaining green onions for some light and crunch. Serve warm with your choice of fun dippables—think crackers, celery sticks, or veggie bugs!
Fun Bug Fact 🐜
Did you know that honey never spoils? Archaeologists have found pots of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs that are over 3,000 years old! Talk about a sweet treat that stands the test of time!
Safety Tip 🚨
Ovens can be hot, hot, hot! Make sure to ask an adult for help when it’s time to bake or take the dip out of the oven!
