We all have those nights (ahem, entire weekends), when we lounge around binge watching our favorite shows on Netflix. These evenings call for comfy pajamas, a cozy blanket, a bottle of a wine and some good snacking supplies. Call us old school, but we think there is nothing better than the tried and true combination of chips and dip when it comes to satisfying our snacking needs. Ditch the boring bag for these oh-so delicious chip and dip recipes.
