It only requires five ingredients and comes together in less than five minutes.
I tested this recipe last night because I am heading to a girlfriend’s house this evening for a potluck and said I’d bring a festive dip and sweet potato casserole. I wanted to be sure this dip got the approval of every member of the Fagan household before I made it to bring to a party for others to try. (Sadie isn’t exactly a hard sell when it comes to recipe approval, but Ryan always promises to be honest.)
Well, this dip nearly morphed into our dinner last night because Ryan and I could not stop dipping honey wheat pretzel twists into it over and over again as we waited for dinner to finish cooking in the oven.
I think that’s a good sign!

Question of the Afternoon
- What is your all-time favorite dip?
This question is way too hard. If I must choose, I would probably say guacamole or this honey peanut apple dip that my mom makes on occasion.

I really love cream cheese with pepper jelly mixed in. I also LOVE homemade caramel dip with fresh fruit! I’m also hosting a women’s night tonight and we are doing a fall theme. I’m excited to see what others bring! Thanks for sharing your recipe. I just love everything you post!
i’m totally with you on the cream cheese and pepper jelly combination. it’s so, so good. i love all of the different flavors.
I’m also a huge fan of that combo. Reminds me of holidays. You inspired me – I’m heading to a fall potluck on Saturday. I’ll definitely be making this. Xo
Yum! I’m sure the candied pecans make a world of a difference… Those things are like crack to me! My all time favorite dip? Ohhh my, probably 7-layer bean dip or spinach artichoke dip. It’s so hard to choose though! Dips are my weakness!
Ohhhh my gosh I am DEFINITELY making this for Thanksgiving!
I love making a cheesy vegan dip with nutritional yeast and mustard, it might sound odd but it’s amazing!
Not the healthiest of dips, but a classic is mixing onion soup mix with sour cream. Tasty but terrible for you.
This looks delicious! I think I might have to make it a contribution to our Thanksgiving party. I made a cookie dough dip for a baby shower a few months ago and it was fantastic!
that sounds unreal. yum! i picture it being served with chocolate graham crackers…
That’s exactly what we did! Plus, animal crackers 🙂 Here’s the link:

**drooling** YUM!!
This I can do! I have a weakness for 5 minute recipes!
Probably either my mom’s marshmallow fruit dip – delicious, but i’m pretty sure it negates the healthy part of the fruit – or the King’s hawaiian bread spinach dip recipe. She very rarely made them when I was a kid so they were always extra special!
This sounds too good!! I love dips!
I love guac and I especially like mine (maybe a little biased) 🙂 There is something about all those fresh ingredients and the texture that makes it a frequent summer dish at our house.
Ummm…is this real life? Yes I will be making this immediately 😉 Thanks for sharing, Julie! I love getting ideas from your blog! You are awesome!
I love a good spinach artichoke dip. Your dip looks amazing!!
I don’t think I’ve thought of combining pumpkin and cheesecake before but, why not?! Pumpkin goes with everything. Hopefully I’ll get some time soon to whip this up!
My mouth is watering, this looks amazing!!
I think if I had to choose my favorite dip of all time, it’d be Mexican queso! But guacamole is just as much a favorite, I always enjoy it more because I truly love eating healthy foods and avocado is my favorite ingredient!
*I also salivate over any pepper jelly+cream cheese combos like you and Aimee mentioned above!
I actually have a potluck to go to next weekend, so I might bring this along with the other dish I’m bringing.
I think my all time favorite savory dip is buffalo chicken dip (which I can eat by the spoonful) and one of my favorite dessert dips is Funfetti cake dip 🙂
Ahhh I think I have to agree with you on the guac. I could eat just guac for dinner and be happy. Sigh. I love all dips… I like pretty much every dip mentioned in the comments above. Add charleston cheese dip to the ever growing list…
Um that sounds amazing! I made a great dip last christmas from Keeping Healthy Giving Stylish that had butternut squash, maple syrup and almond butter, amazing!
oh man! can we get a recipe for this honey peanut apple dip? sounds amazing!
Sounds great!! Tip for going forward – can we please get a way to print your recipes out a little bit easier? It stretches into 16 pages when I try to print! Even after I remove the comments it is still ridiculous.
You can copy the recipe only and then paste it into a word doc. I do that alot with articles and such off the Web when I need a hard copy.
i usually do what cindy does… but i think there are recipe plugins out there i can try to use to make printing easier! i’ll definitely look into it!! thanks for the suggestion, chantelle.
i really like the tool that Lauren from Say What You Need to Say uses to set up her recipes – makes it so easy to print!
Wow. Just reading all these responses is making me HUNGRY!!! As good as some of them sound, however, I think my favorite dip will always be guacamole. I just can’t get enough of it!
I can’t decide between hummus and guac! 🙂
I make something like this too but add in greek yogurt. I haven’t tried it with the pecans…just may need to do that next time! 🙂
Homemade caramel dip with apples! And for savory–spicy jalapeno hummus from TJ’s with their flax tortilla chips. Oh yessssss.
This looks good!
Yum! This would be a great treat for the adults on Halloween. Favorite dip is definitely guacomole….I can eat it on just about anything. I also have a soft spot for Mom’s French Onion Dip. 😉
I can’t wait to try the dip! I’ve been wanting to make something festive.
And the food I always come back to is peanut butter and jelly on pita bread. I will eat it till I’m sick and do it again next year.
I am pumpkin obsessed! Thanks for the recipe!!
Oooh, this sounds good!! And I almost forgot how much I love honey wheat pretzels – I’m definitely craving them now. Recently, my favorite dip has been Gina @ The Fitnessista’s Tuscan white bean sundried tomato dip – it has plain yogurt, Italian seasoning, sundried tomatoes, olive oil, and cannellini beans in it. (http://fitnessista.com/2009/06/robbed-of-the-rawness/) Very delicious and definitely a crowd-pleaser!
This looks delicious!!! And also very dangerous at the same time!
Omg I neeeeed this in my life! Hope you enjoy it with girlfriends tonight!
I make a warm dip with cream cheese, feta, red peppers, & pesto. It’s always a crowd pleaser! Honestly, I think I found it on the back of a Wheat Thins box a few years ago when I was looking for a new app recipe! 🙂
This looks so easy! I think my favorite is probably cinnamon or cookie dough… I have a big sweet tooth!
Favorite dip hands down is hot spinach and artichoke dip (and I am not the biggest spinach lover) from Applebee’s. Chili’s is a close second.
I don’t know if I can choose my favorite dip. That’s like choosing a favorite child haha. Buffalo chicken dip is definitely a favorite. And Spinach and artichoke dip is awesome. And guacamole. And …
my fav dip is just a simple mix of pb&honey mixed up to dip apple slices in!! mmmmmm!!! 🙂
opps posted comment before i was done!!
the pb&honey mixture is my fav sweet dip but my fav other dips are spinich artichoke dip and buffalo chiken dip!! omw amazing!! 🙂
Garlicky ones! Artichoke dip – artichokes, parm, mayo, gr. onion….
Guacamole. Any day!
Love love this recipe! I think I could eat the entire bowl. Oh and candied pecans are like crack to me. I can’t stop once I start! 🙂
that looks delicious! thanks for the recipe!
i think my all-time favorite dip is cilantro hummus. i found it at a local grocery store, but i think it would be easy to create at home. yum.
Guacamole for me for sure with spinach and pinenuts at a close second!
My mum rang me last night and wanted me to thank you for putting her onto The Maze Runner series. She’s read book 1 and loved it and it onto the second already. Her library didn’t have them so she actually had her newsagent order them in for her to buy. So a big, big thank you to you from my mum 🙂
Yum! This would be the perfect, easy take along to Thanksgiving dinner!
I think sweet dip would be good, but I’m more of a savory dip person. I would rather have a savory dip while watching football than sweet. A fav of mine is southwestern corn dip!
My boyfriend is allergic to nuts and as much as I LOVE nuts I try to make things that both of us can enjoy. Do you think there is a good substitute for the pecans in this recipe?
omg those look amaze! perfect easy fall dessert to bring to cocktail parties! they would be so good with vanilla wafers too…
I am a savory dip fanatic…I love the french onion dips, dill dips, ranch dips…all with chips. Yum!
YUM!!! Looks absolutely DELICIOUS!
Oh man, I LOVE guacamole but for some reason I don’t consider it a dip. I don’t know why.
This, though, I call it “crack dip” because it’s addicting like crack, is SO good:
16 oz sour cream
1 packet Ranch dressing mix
3 oz bacon bits (in the bag not jar)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Mix together and refrigerate 24 hours. Serve with chips and/or veggies.
Mmmm that sounds great!! So festive and something I could bring to a holiday party and feel somewhat okay with eating it!
This looks yum! I lovee salsa mixed with Greek yogurt as a dip…I can never stop eating it!
