Jalapeno Popper Dip

I've been meaning to make jalapeno popper dip for a long time. There have been many different versions, but I found this one to be the easiest of the ones I had bookmarked. My husband practically died when he ate it. He said it was the best thing he had ever eaten, EVER. I thought it was really good too!


This recipe comes from a lil ole blog you all might have heard of: Brown Eyed Baker. I'm not sure if I have space enough to share all the recipes I want to try from Michelle's blog. It's just the most droolworthy collection of recipes ever! Here's a top 5 list of what I really want to make: Blueberry Bagels, Chewy Brownies, Homemade Moon Pies, Oreo Cheesecake Cookies, and Root Beer Float Cake.
