17 More Red, White and Blue Sweet Treat Recipes for the 4th of July

Going meat-free this Super Bowl? This recipe uses cauliflower in lieu of shredded chicken for a dip that's smooth and creamy. Don't worry, thanks to the hot sauce, it still has that iconic spicy kick! Eat with celery, carrots, chips, or go all in with a spoon. You can also leave out the cauliflower for a plain buffalo dip, which is the most popular in South Dakota. (via Brit + Co)

This dip is the whole package. Start with the beans on the bottom, since they're the thickest, and work your way up until you're ready to top with your go-to veggies. Leave out the cheese and sour cream for any dairy-free babes. (via Culinary Hill)

Buffalo chicken dip was the most popular choice in a handful of areas, including Arizona, Delaware, Washington, D.C., Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Tennessee!

With this dish, you can have your dip and eat it (inside a pita) too! With the buffalo chicken, greens, and the crunch of the pita, a variety of flavors and textures come together to create something that will be a game changer. The bonus? Kids who love quesadillas will not be able to get enough! (via Half Baked Harvest)

This bean dip beats the canned variety any day. Get ready for a mouthful of flavor atop your fave dipping chip. One thing to note is that you might need to experiment with how much olive oil you add depending on your beans, to get the dip consistency right, but that just means you get to taste test a bunch of times. Score! (via Live Eat Learn)

The combo of cheese and jalapeños will never get old, and what better way to try out this new iteration of poppers than Super Bowl Sunday! While the recipe calls for white American cheese, swap for pepper jack if you want to add some extra spice. (via Brit + Co)

Use this tasty (and uber-easy!) sauce for salads and sandwiches, or add some cream cheese, bake it, and serve with pita chips on game day. This is also a great recipe for anyone who isn't a huge fan of spice, because you can customize the peppers, opting for mild ones if you like those better. (via A Spicy Perspective)

While these mini rangoons make for a tasty, and less messy, app, all you have to do to turn them into a dip is swap the wontons for a baking dish. You can go with whatever seafood is your fave. (via Culinary Hill)

Who can say no to a salty, tasty dip chock full of all our favorite taco toppings? Eat with chips, or pour a bit on your hot dog for the full game day experience. (via Tastes Better From Scratch)

We're all about savory dips, which is where this creamy dip comes in. It's perfect to pair with your fave snack-able veggies to eat on during the Super Bowl game. (via Kim's Cravings)

If you're not familiar with a hoagie dip, just think of it like a taco dip in the sense that it's a hoagie, but deconstructed! It's got ham, lettuce, peppers, cheese (basically everything we love about a hoagie) all in one bowl. (via Food Network)

Cheese dip until we die. This twist on classic cheese dip takes pub-inspired flavors so you can bring the ultimate cheesiness to the party. (via A Spicy Perspective)

Artichoke dip is one of our favorite dishes of all time and this easy recipe brings a delicious, spicy twist to the already amazing flavors. (via The Endless Meal)

We never thought a deconstructed burger could taste this good. Because you can load it up with toppings until your heart's content, you don't have to sacrifice any of the usual burger add-ons with this dip from our bun-less burger roundup. We're talking ketchup, mustard, cheese, and even pickles! (via Salt & Lavender)

This is one recipe that you can serve at any stage. Form it into a bacon-covered ball the next time you're hosting dinner or bake it in a dish with the bacon, herbs, and vegetable wedges sprinkled on top. Like the idea of individual apps? Bake in tiny ramekins and serve (after they cool down, of course). (via Brit + Co)

When we hear "baked" and "cheese" in the same sentence, our mind immediately goes to one thing: brie. The creamy, buttery cheese is probably in our top ten favorite foods and this heart-shaped recipe is perfect for both the Super Bowl and Valentine's Day! Nix the puff pastry to make this a more conventional dip. (via Brit + Co)

There are very few dips as classic as spinach dip, but this green hummus recipe will breathe a whole new life into your game day appetizers. Just remember to refrigerate for at least a few hours so all the flavors can mix and meld together. Yummm. (via Feel Good Foodie)

A medium-bodied, crisp beer in this cheese dip gives it a nice, full flavor. The recipe is thick and cheesy, but the beer helps thin it out just right. While you *could* dip crackers or veggies in this scrumptious dip, we're partial to salty pretzel bites. (via Once Upon A Chef)

This recipe is great because you can put it together easily, and it's a bit lower maintenance than a 7-layer dip. Go all out with the cream cheese and sour cream, or swap them for low-fat alternatives to make a skinny recipe like the most-searched dip of New Mexico! (via A Spicy Perspective)

Break out the vanilla wafers, graham crackers, and strawberries because this is one recipe that you won't want to miss! The sweet, creamy dip will melt in your mouth *and* making this gives you the perfect excuse to add a few extra chocolate chips to your diet. (via Love From The Oven)

With fried and fresh onions all in one, this dip dish does it all. It's a super simple recipe, however, that's what you need for game day prep. Make your own hot sauce to pair, or swap it for a bottle of buffalo sauce instead. That way your dip matches your wings! (via A Spicy Perspective)

The great thing about this recipe is that because we have access to fresh, frozen, and canned corn, we can make it any time of year! And that includes Super Bowl Sunday. The sweet corn and salty cheese make an amazing pair, and we can't wait to dig in. (via Half Baked Harvest)
