Individual 7 Layer Dip Cups Recipe – a Perfect Party Appetizer!

Individual 7 Layer Dip Cups Recipe

When it comes to party foods, 7 layer dip is one of my favorites. It has seven layers of delicious flavors. It is a party classic and looks so pretty on a serving plate.

The only problem is that once the first couple of people have dug into the platter it starts looking like a big, sloppy mess! Once that happens it isn't nearly as appetizing either. But I have a solution with INDIVIDUAL 7 Layer Dip Cups!

With this Individual 7 Layer Dip Cups Recipe, we take the classic layers and pile them into clear plastic drink cups. This makes them looking pretty until the very last cup is served. I also think it's a lot more sanitary because you don't run the risk of those double-dippers contaminating the whole tray of dip!

If you're having a big party you can also make a variety of different cups. For some you might use refried black beans rather than refried pinto beans. You can also put mild salsa in some cups and hot salsa in the others. Just be sure to mark which ones are spicy! You could do this by adding a couple of sliced jalapeño peppers on the top to really kick things up a notch!

The other thing I like about these individual cups is that they can be packed as a fun lunchbox option! Just cover the cup with a piece of plastic wrap, toss in a baggie full of tortilla chips and you have lunch on the go!
