SUNNY'S ROASTED GARLIC AND FROZEN VEGGIE DIP

Steps:

• For the roasted garlic: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

• Pour the dip into a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a dollop of chile sauce in the center. Serve with nut crackers, pita chips or any dippables.

SUNNY'S EASY OOEY GOOEY JALAPENO POPPER DIP

Steps:

• For the dip: Bake or slow cook.
• To bake, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheese, seasoning mix and jalapenos. Pour into an 8-inch square dish and bake until bubbly, about 20 minutes.
• To slow cook: Turn a 6-quart slow cooker to high and add the cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheese, seasoning mix and jalapenos. Stir, cover and cook until everything melts, 2 to 3 hours. Stir again.
• For the topping: When ready to serve, top with the shredded cheese and fried jalapenos.

SUNNY'S EASY CARAMEL APPLE CHEESECAKE DIP

Steps:

• For the dip: Fold together the cream cheese and marshmallow creme in a medium bowl. Transfer to a plastic bag and refrigerate until chilled, about 20 minutes.
• Line up four 9-ounce clear cups. Add a spoonful of the graham cracker crust crumbs to each, followed by a drizzle of the caramel dip. Next, snip a hole in one corner of the bag with the cream cheese mixture and pipe in about an inch of the mixture; top with half an inch of the apple pie filling. Repeat the steps one more time or until the cups are filled, ending with one final crumble of the graham cracker crust crumbs on top. Serve immediately with your favorite dippers, or chill until served.

SUNNY'S EASY 7-LAYER GYRO DIP

Steps:

• For the lamb: In a large pan on medium heat, add the olive oil. When it begins to swirl, add the onion, garlic, oregano, lamb, salt and plenty of black pepper. Combine the ingredients, breaking up the lamb while cooking, until it is browned, about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Layer the dip. In an 8-inch square dish, layer in this order: Spread the hummus on the bottom, then sprinkle evenly with the lamb, feta, tomatoes and cucumbers. Spread the tzatziki dip over the top and sprinkle with the dill to finish. Serve with the pita chips.

SUNNY'S BBQ CHICKEN AND PEPPERONI DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the pepperoni and cook, tossing, until the fat is rendered and the pepperoni are crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to soak up the extra fat.
• In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese, Italian seasoning and scallions until well blended, then season with salt and pepper. Add Sunny's Cocoa-Cola BBQ Sauce and stir to incorporate. Fold in the chicken, pepperoni and both cheeses. Pour everything into a 7-by-11-inch casserole dish.
• Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm with the dippers of your choice.
• In a medium saucepot on medium-high heat, add the Coca-Cola, ketchup, onion, Worcestershire, vinegar, red pepper flakes, garlic, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced and thickened to barbecue sauce consistency, 15 to 20 minutes.
