A platter with a taste-tempting dip or cheeseball surrounded by an assortment of crackers or fresh vegetables looks good and tastes even better.

This list of delicious dips and cheeseballs is full of variety and flavor. There are so many tasty choices here, you may find it hard to pick only one. And that’s okay. When it comes to delicious dips and cheesy snacks – the more variety the better.
Personally, my idea of heaven would be a buffet table with smoked salmon dip, cheeseballs full of bacon and sausage, and some of that chipotle lime crab dip that sounds like a refreshing slice of heaven.
