Hi. Try the Fiesta Party Dip from Tastefully Simple. Serve it with pretzel sticks. My company always loves it. (buy it here: www.tastefullysimple.com/web/cdaugusta)

Anything can be made spicy by adding diced jalepinos. How about mixing some hot seasoning like the Fiesta Dip or some hot Taco dip into cream cheese, spreading on cold cuts and rolling then slicing, or try stuffing some cherry peppers (http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/cda/recipe_print/0,1946,FOOD_9936_21734_PRINT-RECIPE-FULL-PAGE,00.html).

My spicy "Rotel from Hell" is always a hit at parties...Take 1 roll spicy sausage ( don't use the kind with sage ) & brown in skillet. In crockpot, add cooked sausage, 1 block Velveta spicy mexican, 1 can rotel chilis & tomatos, 1 clove garlic minced & salt and pepper. Cook on low til melted, then serve with chips, japalenos, sour cream or other favorite sides....The best part is it can be transported in the crockpot & kept heated during serving....

Answer 7

Instead of Buaflo wings, try deep fried chicken wings with hot oil, like they serve in Chinese restaurants. You can but hot oil or easily make it yourself. Just buy a bag of dried chile peppers, remove the stems, crush in a food processor, add a little more vegetable oil than it takes to cover them and then bring to a gentle immer for just a minute or two. Spread this on the chicken wings.

Sausage Cheese Dip:

-Velveeta pepper jack cheese

Melt the cheese in a crock pot. Cook the sausage and add it and the amount of salsa you like. You can even put refried beans in it if you like. Serve with CHIPS....Spicy & YUMMO!!! You can also make a lot for cheap.
