Veggie & Dip Wonton Cups
You know how sometimes baby carrots will have a little crack on their underside? I assume this is due to the process of turning carrots into . . . baby carrots. No big deal, right? Well, a few weeks ago at a party, I saw a guy pick up a baby carrot, notice the crack, and then put it back on the veggie tray. Dude, no. Once you’ve touched the carrot, you’ve committed to that carrot. There’s no put-backsies.
This little incident got me thinking of ways to turn the communal veggie tray into a more personal-sized serving. I’ve done veggies and dip in little plastic cups before, which works well, but it’s kind of a pain to rinse out all the cups in order to recycle them (we’re big recyclers around here). I’m a big fan of wonton cups, because they’re edible, and take just 8 minutes to bake to a crisp golden brown.
For these “personal veggie trays,” I used La Terra Fina Chunky Spinach Artichoke & Parmesan Dip & Spread. This creamy dip has tons of sharp cheese flavor and big chunks of artichoke. Even better, it’s gluten free, and contains no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.
I used a variety of celery, mini sweet peppers and baby carrots (with and without the cracks), but feel free to build these using whatever veggies you like best! Enjoy, and no put-backsies, OK?

Oh wow, talk about a party foul! In the end, though, I’m glad he did it since it inspired you to come up with this brilliant solution! So much dip seems to go to waste on individual plates, so this is also a solution to that. I’m pinning these for the next party I host!
Yes, PARTY FOUL is right! I always have to wonder what is going through people’s brains when they do stuff like this. LOL. I hope these are a hit for your next party!
Put-backsies. lol!!!
Absolutely NO put-backsies!
