Chips and Dips are my all-time favourite party snack. To me there is not much better than a crunchy, salty crisp loaded with creamy, tangy dip. If you need something super easy or are throwing together a last-minute party then there really is no shame in shop-bought dips. But if you have a little time to spare then one or two homemade dips will really impress your party guests. Serve a couple different dips with a selection of chips or crisps and cut vegetable crudités for a sure fire way to please any party guest.
