Where did this Viral Dip Recipe come from?

While the term “crack” is used for many recipes, including corn dips and this crack chicken recipe, in general, it’s a link-bait term that implies a recipe is so good you can’t say no!

Would we make Crack Dip again? 

Yes, it’s delicious as sour cream, cream cheese, and ranch is expected to be. That being said, it’s really thick, so we thin it out with a bit of mayo.

Thinning it out would make it much easier to dip. As is, it’s best for thick toasts, bagel chips, or raw veggies like baby carrot sticks and celery sticks. 

How to make TikTok Crack Dip

1. Place the cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch mix in a mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat until smooth. 
2. Fold in cups of cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of chopped bacon.
3. Spoon mixture into a serving bowl and top with remaining shredded cheese, bacon, and chopped fresh parsley.
4. We enjoy serving it with buttery crackers or thick potato chips.
5. Store covered in an airtight container and in the refrigerator. Please note that cream cheese re-solidifies in the fridge, and you may need to thin dip out once ready to eat again. See below our tips on that.

Various toppings for an award-winning crack dip: Real bacon bits, Green Onions, Jalapeño Peppers, green chilies, and a sprinkle of Cheddar Cheese.

Thinning out thick dips

• Add more liquid ingredients: This could be a small amount of milk or whipping cream.
• Add more of the other ingredients that are used to make bacon cheddar ranch dip: This could be sour cream, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, or a little real ranch dressing.
