Time 3h35m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup salsa
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cups blue corn chips, finely crushed
2 olives
16 green beans, ends trimmed
Cut raw vegetables, tortilla chips or crackers, for serving

Steps:

  • In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese, Cheddar, Monterey Jack cheese, butter, salsa and some salt and pepper and beat until smooth. Alternatively, mix all the ingredients in a large bowl with a spoon. Reserve 1/3 cup of the dip and wrap in plastic wrap.
  • Make 2 balls with the remaining dip, one twice as big as the other, wrap in plastic, and shape into balls. Refrigerate all three portions of the cheese until hardened and cold, 2 to 3 hours.
  • Unwrap the two balls and coat in the crushed tortilla chips. Place on a platter directly next to each other and make eyes in the smaller ball with 2 olives. To make the legs, arrange 8 green beans to stick out of the "spider's" side, then place a small ball made out of the reserved 1/3 cup dip on the end of each bean and connect another bean to each ball to make long legs.
  • Serve with vegetables, crackers or tortilla chips.

This recipe was missing some important details. It didn't say how long to bake it for or what temperature to set the oven to.

The cheesy spider dip was a little too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used pepper jack cheese. Next time I'll use a milder cheese.

I'm not a big fan of cheese, but I thought the cheesy spider dip was pretty good. The cream cheese and sour cream helped to balance out the sharpness of the cheddar cheese.

The cheesy spider dip is a great way to use up leftover Halloween candy. I added some chopped up candy corn and Reese's Pieces to mine and it was a hit!
