For some Americans, the Super Bowl is about football. For others — like us — it’s about the food. The big game is the perfect excuse to enjoy Buffalo chicken dip, seven-layer bean dip, spinach artichoke dip, and other dunkable, scoopable dishes for dinner.
But whipping up an entire table of game-day delicacies can be time-consuming, especially when you’re busy preparing to host guests. As with almost any other entertaining predicament, there’s a simple solution: Go to Costco.
Costco fans often use social media to share their favorite products from the bulk retailer, and they’ve highlighted a wide range of dips worth stocking in your fridge for the Super Bowl or year-round snacking. There’s something for everyone at this sprawling store, from brisket-infused queso to garlicky spreads that pack serious flavor. Plus, many of Costco’s dip options weigh in at over 24 ounces, making them ideal for feeding a crowd. Here are six to grab before Super Bowl Sunday.
La Terra Fina Cranberry Jalapeño Dip
Cranberries and jalapeños might sound like an unlikely pairing, but social media users think they’re a perfect match in Costco’s La Terra Fina Cranberry Jalapeño Dip. This shopper favorite features a decadent base of cream cheese and sour cream infused with cranberry and jalapeño chunks.
You can expect a medium-spice level in the creamy dip, and content creators often recommend serving it with thin pretzels or pita chips. At just $6.78 for a 31-ounce container, this offering is very budget-friendly.
Ithaca x Graza Olive Oil and Sea Salt Hummus
New York-based brand Ithaca Hummus and cult-favorite olive company Graza teamed up to make an Olive Oil & Sea Salt Hummus that takes a classic dip to another level. Costco sells each 26-ounce container for $8.50, making it a cost-effective appetizer for a crowd.
The components of this hummus are simple: chickpeas, extra-virgin olive oil, tahini, and water are the first four ingredients, followed by lemon juice, garlic, sea salt, citric acid, and crushed red pepper. Olive oil adds rich flavor without overpowering, ensuring this hummus still pairs well with whatever you want to dip.
Toom Garlic Dip
The internet has been raving about the Toom Original Garlic Dip for years. More often spelled as “toum,” the Lebanese dip gets its creamy texture from a generous amount of garlic that’s been emulsified with lemon juice and oil. That also makes it dairy-free.
It’s important to note that Toom’s product is slightly smaller than other dips at Costco; a 16-ounce container will cost you a little under $8. However, given how versatile the garlicky condiment is — it’s excellent for spreading on sandwiches and wraps — we think the price is well worth it.
La Terra Fina Spinach Artichoke and Parmesan Dip
Spinach artichoke dip is a classic appetizer everyone loves, but it can take 40 minutes to make. Costco’s La Terra Fina Spinach Artichoke & Parmesan Dip is ready to enjoy straight from the container and can be served either hot or cold. A 31-ounce container is priced at around $11, and at some locations, you can currently score it for $2 off.
If you want to make this dip feel homemade, transfer it to an oven-safe dish and sprinkle a layer of shredded cheese on top. Bake it until bubbly, and no one will know your appetizer was store-bought.
Queso Mama White Queso With Brisket
Barbecue aficionados might not condone the combination of American cheese and smoked brisket, but Costco’s Queso Mama Brisket White Queso makes a compelling case for the unlikely combo. The product costs about $5.64 for 24 ounces, a great price considering it includes pieces of premium beef brisket.
In addition to its creamy, cheesy base and bits of smoked brisket, this queso features diced tomatoes and poblano peppers. Keep the options classic when it comes to dipping, and bust out a bag of Tostitos.
Rojo’s Street Corn Dip
Fresh corn, green chiles, cheddar, and cotija cheese star in this super savory dip inspired by the flavors of elote. Mayo and Greek yogurt bind everything together, so you can easily take chips, fresh slices of bell pepper, or whatever you want and scoop up bites of this fan-favorite dip. Rojo’s Street Corn Dip comes in a 32-ounce container — and it’ll only cost you around $8, which means you’ll have enough leftovers to enjoy all week.
Good Foods Buffalo Style Chicken Dip
Are you really enjoying the Super Bowl if you don’t have a batch of Buffalo chicken dip? It’s easy to understand why this spicy, tangy, and rich snack has become so popular in recent years. It captures all the flavors of Buffalo chicken without the mess of eating wings and packs in a lot more dairy — what’s not to love?
That said, we don’t always have time to cook and shred chicken breasts to make a dip. That’s why we’ll be picking up this popular premade Buffalo-Style Chicken Dip at Costco. It can be enjoyed hot or cold, comes in a 24-ounce container that feeds a crowd, and channels all the essential flavors of the dish we know and love.
