Easy Seven Layer Dip Cups for the Perfect Party Appetizer
So how much do you love dips? Especially those with a Mexican flare? Or served in individual cups? These Easy Seven Layer Dip Cups for the Perfect Party Appetizer will check off all those boxes. Seems like a smaller, individual version of about anything will taste better.
With school and sports in full swing, including some favorite โ football bowl games and basketball, these are easy to make, customize to your liking, and easy to serve. Kind of a grab and go while watching a game or even tailgating. There is a big game coming up in a few weeks โ these would be perfect.
If you arenโt a huge Guacamole fan like me, just leave it off, or add just a taste. I would add a little extra sour cream for me.

This is perfect to serve at a gathering any time of year.
I love a grab and go item, especially an appetizer or dessert.
Those look delish Rosemary! I LOVE dips so these individuals are also great for portion control.
It’s a party in a cup. I love individual cups and think most feel so much more comfortable with them these days.
Wow!…..and it looks almost too pretty to eat. Thanks for the idea…always need fun, easy yums to whip up
One of those things to just make it with what you like or have on hand.
Love this way to serve a yummy dip!
Always fun – especially for a crowd.
One of my favorite dips to serve and to enjoy myself and this recipe looks perfect. We will be trying this for the big game for sure.
It really is less mess too for crowds. And easy to serve.
This looks delish and easy for people to grab and mingle while enjoying. The dip bar suggestion works well if you have people that suffer food allergies. thanks for the inspiration!
Dip cups are always fun – and being able to eat what you like is even better. More sour cream for me please.
Love the see-through individual cups for portioning! I’ve made something similar in the summer but I think for sports gatherings, this would be perfect!!!
I love when food is colorful and pretty. This is a perfect dip for it too.
Love this idea. Individual servings are the way to go these days!
