Notes
The key to making this dip irresistibly creamy and flavorful is to take the time to properly blend the ingredients and bake it until the cheese is melted and bubbly. The presentation is just as important, so have fun arranging the black olives to create a truly spooky graveyard scene that will wow your guests.
