To add an extra layer of spookiness to your Halloween Chili Taco Dip, use a Ziploc bag to create a fun “piping” effect with sour cream. Simply place a half of a cup of sour cream (we use a light version) in the bag and cut off one corner, creating a makeshift piping bag. Then use this technique to create a spider web design on top of the guacamole.
To complete your chili cheese dip, be sure to garnish the edges with slices of black olives, along with plenty of cheese and pico de gallo. For an adorable olive spider garnish, simply place an olive in the center of your dip as the body, and then cut another olive in half lengthwise and into thin slices for legs. Arrange these legs around the olive body to complete your creepy crawly Halloween snack!
