I have seen some posts where some of you do this BLT dip for a demo. I just noticed you are supposed to refrigerate for 3 hours before serving! How do you handle that? I know PC parties are fun, but I don't think they would wait that long!!!:eek:
 
Make a batch at home then when you get to the host's house, demo with her ingredients. You can either leave her with the 2nd batch or take it home if you bought the ingredients for the first batch.
 
Hi there! I've actually made this BLT dip for a few parties and I've found a few ways to handle the refrigeration time. One option is to make the dip the night before and let it chill in the fridge overnight. That way, it's all ready to go for the party the next day. Another option is to put the dip in the fridge for about an hour before the party starts. It won't be fully chilled, but it will still be delicious. Lastly, if you're short on time, you can always serve the dip at room temperature. It may not be as cold, but it will still taste great. Hope this helps!
