SNACKS-

One of my favorite dips to make is called Pickle dip. It's very simple and it does with plain regular potato chips.

4 ounces room temperature cream cheese

1 Teaspoon dill pickle relish

1/4 teaspoon pepper, onion powder, garlic powder

2-3 splashes of Worchester sauce

Mixed well and enjoy immediately! If you have any leftovers you can refrigerate, but remember cream cheese hardens when it gets cold so the next time you want to dip you need to let it come to room temperature!
