Humpty Dumpty Dip – The Creamy Party Favorite That Vanishes First
Some dips don’t just sit politely on the table — they get surrounded. People hover with chips, crackers, and little “just one more scoop” excuses. Humpty Dumpty Dip is that kind of dip.
It’s creamy, savory, and loaded with the kind of flavors that feel retro in the best way — the classic party-style mix of mayo, sour cream, seasonings, and crunchy add-ins that make it addictive. It’s perfect for potlucks, game day, holidays, or any time you need a dip that’s easy to make and guaranteed to disappear.
