Indulgently cheesy dips in your favorite St. Patrick’s Day flavors

St. Patrick’s Day is almost upon us, and it’s time to get to dipping. Pour yourself a nice, frosty green beer, but don’t forget to save room for some festive (and oh-so-cheesy) Guinness dip. (The hot Reuben dip isn’t so bad either.)

This lucky holiday is all about having a good time. Lots of good food, drinks and laughter. These indulgent cheesy dips are the perfect party appetizers and are scooped up with homemade rye breadsticks. Trust me, you’re going to love all of these dishes.

First up we have a hot Reuben dip. It gives you all the flavor of your favorite sandwich but in hot dip form.
