Random Review - Pelican Bay Dips

I dropped by a church fundraiser this past weekend and when I walked by their display of soups and dips, I couldn't pass up an opportunity for a little taste!  They offered a variety of dips from Pelican Bay and I couldn't resist buying their Hot and Cheesy Basil Balsamic dip mix and their Honey Garlic Buffalo dip.

We love cheese, we love basil, and we love balsamic vinegar, so when they're all combined into one dip, it's a winner in our house!  All you do is add the mix to 1/2 cup of softened cream cheese and 1/2 cup of sour cream.  You layer in the mixture in a small baking dish with 4 slices of provolone cheese then bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.  (I used 2 slices of provlone and some shredded parmesan).  The dip was delectable!  Even my 3-year-old loved it.  Each box makes two bowls of this yummy, hot, cheesy goodness.



The Honey Garlic Buffalo dip was not a flavor combination that I ever would have imagined, but boy, was it good!  The sweetness of the honey compliments the spicy buffalo flavor and makes a really enjoyable dip.  This is a cold dip, so you just blend the mix with sour cream and mayo (I prefer just sour cream), chill, and serve!  I will say that this dip does have a bit of a kick, so be careful with the kiddos.  My 3-year-old said that it makes his tongue "itch."
