Super Bowl Staples: Chips & Dip

The Super Bowl is just a week away, so it's time to get serious about chips and dips! During my weekly grocery shopping I came across Ruffles Molten Hot Wings (yes you read that right) and I could not resist grabbing them.

So here's how it went down: they really taste just like hot wings, unfortunately the molten part is just as true! The after burn of these tasty little snacks was seriously fierce (I can generally handle a lot of heat).  Let me know if you can handle them, and while you're at it try out Ruffles Loaded Chili & Cheese flavored chips.

P.S. These chips would be awesome paired with blue cheese dip.

Ingredients:

* 4 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
* 1 cup sour cream
* 4 oz. tangy blue cheese, such as Point Reyes
* 2 Tbs. chopped fresh chives
* 1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper

Directions

1. In a bowl, using a handheld electric mixer fitted with the beater attachments, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until soft and creamy, about 2 minutes.
2. Reduce the speed to low, add the sour cream and beat until combined, about 1 minute. Add the blue cheese and beat until the cheese is crumbled and no large lumps remain, about 1 minute. Stir in the chives and pepper.
3. Transfer the dip to a small serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 week. Makes about 2 cups.
