Chips and dip platter

Chips and dip is the perfect, easy snack for entertaining a crowd. Make a variety of dips, add all your favorite chips and serve on a big platter.

I don’t know about you but if there’s chips and dip in front of me, I can’t resit. I’m already a bit of a crunch addict but then you add a creamy or spicy dip and I lose my head a little. I also love putting together  big platter of nibbly bits for guests to munch on and this chip and dip platter is the perfect, fuss-free way to entertain. Hellooooo Game Day!

Can I make a chips and dip platter in advance?

All the dips can be made in advance. The creamy avocado dip will brown when made too far in advance so I would suggest making that no more than 30 minutes in advance but all of the other dips can be made up to 2 days in advance. Keep them covered in the fridge before serving.

How to put together a chip and dip platter

Ideally you want a range of dips varying in flavor and texture. Salsa and a creamy avocado/guacamole dip is always a good idea, as is a sour cream and chives or ranch-style dip. I like adding a chunky dip like Mexican street corn dip which is just delicious served with corn chips. Similarly, you want a variety of chips. Corn chips, crinkle-cut chips, kettle-fried chips and thin potato chips (like Lays) in different flavors will add interest to your platter.
