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 dip was a complete disaster! It was too runny, too cheesy, and just plain gross.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dip didn't turn out as well as I hoped. It was a bit too runny.

I found this dip to be a bit bland. I would have liked it more if it had more spices.
