We have staple appetizers at my house, ones I make without glancing at the recipe and made over and over. I can count on a request for this recipe from several friends if they are coming over. I first learned of this recipe from a friend in Victoria, Texas. BJ and her mom shared this with me close to 15 years ago and it's been a favorite on this site since 2011. This recipe takes a cheese dip to a whole new level. However, the taste is full of flavor...cheese, spice, and sweet. Enjoy!
