Sweet Home Seven-Layer Dip

Sweet Home Seven-Layer Dip

A classic party dip with a Sweet Home twist—layered, scoopable, and built for sharing.

This Sweet Home Seven-Layer Dip takes the familiar layered dip everyone knows and adds just enough Sweet Home sweet heat to make it memorable. Creamy, savory, and slightly spicy, it’s the kind of dish that disappears fast at watch parties, potlucks, and casual get-togethers.
