I need some opinions. I hate to admit it, but I have not tried all the sauces (but I have them all).

Which of our sauces would go well as a dipping sauce for beer bread?

I know everyone raves about the Pineapple sauce over cream cheese, but how is the Raspberry Habenero with cream cheese?

We are having a party Saturday and I just want a little something extra to set out.

Thanks! :)
 
My favorite is the Raspberry Habanero sauce over cream cheese. My guess is it'll be great with the beer bread.I like to make beer bread with Sierra Mist. It makes it a little sweeter tasting. Might be too sweet w/ the Raspberry H., but maybe not. Hmmm, guess I need to try that out. :D
 
I would recommend the Oil Dipping Seasonings with the beer bread. If you have the new spinach one, I bet you could make a yummy dip with it. I wouldn't use the sauces for dipping--they would be overpowering.
 
I LOVE the Raspberry Habanero on cream cheese--and on chicken! It is the absolute best.

Thanks!

I am really dying to try the Raspberry one. I will definitely set some out with cream cheese.

Maybe I'll make a small batch of dip using the Spinach Oil Dipping sauce and have the beer bread.

Is the dip recipe on the bottle for the spinach Dip? I am at work and don't have it with me.
 
I like just using Club crackers or Wheat Thins for the Ras.Hab. sauce with cream cheese, so maybe have some crackers of some sort on hand just in case it is too overpowering or just not quite right with the beer bread.When I had beer bread at TS parties, I LOVED using it with the Garlic, Garlic dip. So I bet if you made a dip out of the Spinach Oil Dipping or something else, it would be delicious. (And just in case anyone was wondering...Savory dips went well even with the "Sierra Mist" Beer Bread ;) )

I am serving a hot chicken dip with Ritz crackers...so I'll have plenty of those. Maybe I'll pick up some Wheat Thins.

THANKS!
 
A hot chicken dip - sounds yummy. Is it spicy hot or temperature hot? Share the recipe?
