In our kitchens, we have a few secret tools we like to bust out around party o'clock: our slow-cookers and air-fryers. And if you have a sweet-tooth, you'll really love digging into our recipes for cannoli chips and dip and pumpkin pie dip. Our favorites (like hummus, sour cream and onion dip, and Crockpot spinach and artichoke dip) are also perfect to store until it's party time, in addition to being super-easy to make in large batches too. We love them so much, and we're always happy to have leftovers to keep on dipping, for spreading on a sandwich or even stuffing into chicken. One of our favorite foolproof appetizers to keep your crowd happy? Dips. Because why should you have to stress when it comes to party time? With these low-effort, make-ahead recipes for killer apps, you'll be able to enjoy your company (and plenty of pub beer cheese and shrimp cocktail). Go ahead, be an overachiever in the kitchen with these simple make-ahead appetizers! We love to see it, and we especially love it when it means having these beyond easy recipes for party-starting appetizers ready well before your guests arrive.
