With school and sports in full swing, including some favorite – 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 – these would be perfect.

If you aren’t 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.

    1. 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!

    2. 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!!!
