Valeries Fruit Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Add the roasted red pepper, Calabrian chile paste, salt and garlic to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is chunky and evenly chopped. Using your hands, break the feta up into large chunks and add it to the food processor. Pulse the mixture until the feta is incorporated into the pepper mixture. (The mixture should remain slightly chunky.) Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to come together. Serve with crackers, veggies, on sandwiches or burgers. Spicy feta dip will keep, refrigerated in an airtight container, up to 1 week.

Steps:

• Fill a medium saucepot with 1 inch of water and place over medium-low heat to bring the water to a simmer. Place the bittersweet and Mexican chocolate in a bowl that will fit over the top of the saucepot without touching the water. Melt the chocolate over the water, stirring occasionally, until smooth.
• Place the cream and salt in a saucepot over medium-high heat and bring to a bare simmer. Slowly whisk the warm cream, 1/2 cup at a time, into the chocolate until the dip has the consistency of chocolate sauce. Transfer to a serving bowl or fondue pot and cover to keep warm until ready to use. Serve with the marshmallows, sprinkles, nuts and fruit.

Steps:

• Cream together the cream cheese and sugar until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract and then the whipped topping. Chill in refrigerator 1 hour.

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer, blend cream cheese and marshmallow creme until mixed thoroughly.
