Halloween Queso
Ingredients
- 4 cups grated Mexican Blend Cheese
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream , plus more for decorating
- ¾ cup whole milk
- 2 (4 ounce) cans Hatch Diced Chilis, mild or hot
- Large pitted black olives , for decorating
- Blue Corn tortilla chips , for serving
Instructions
- Combine the cheeses, 1 cup sour cream, and milk in a small cast iron skillet and heat over medium-low heat until the cheeses are fully melted. Stir in the chilis.
- Put a little sour cream in a small food storage bag, snip off a small corner, and pipe a spider web over the top of the queso. Make spiders by cutting an olive in half, use one half for the body, and cut the other half into thin strips – spiders have 8 legs so you may need to use another olive. Place the spiders in the web and serve with tortilla chips.
