I made two dips for a party that got cancelled.
They are the kind that is a tub of sour cream and powder mixed in to make french onion and ranch dip.
My question is can I freeze them and take them out at a later date to thaw and use?

Freezing wouldn't work out very well for you. To ensure they don't go bad, invite some friends or neighbors over for lunch or dinner, maybe a barbeque. Or if you have kids you let them have a little sleepover or movie night with their friends, that dip will surely get eaten then. Another idea is use the dips to mix into some soup, or mashed potatoes for dinner (the dip will give potatoes a really great kick), or try baked potatoes. You could also try useing the dip as a pasta sauce, just cook some pasta and toss in the dip maybe along with some veggies. I hope this helped, and you can find a good use for that dip so it's not wasted. Good Luck!!

You can practically freeze anything these days, but a dip with sour cream may be a bit runny when unthawed. They will keep in the fridge quite well for maybe a week or even a bit longer. Try freezing a little bit of one dip and then take it out when frozen, unthaw and see how it is, giving it a whipping, it may be okay. Either way it wouldn't be bad when frozen, maybe a bit watery. Heck! just invite some friends and have a little gathering and the dip will be used up.

Why not use the french onion dip to make twice baked mashed potatoes, then freeze them in individual size servings & pull them out when you want. The other use as a vegge dip for lunch or snack time

Not really- when you thaw it out, it separates and gets runny. It should be fine for a week in the fridge, though.

no it will frozed up and you wouldnt able cook it or eat it til does get melted for hours so. why yo just gave some to yore friends or family or even slices them and place them into a medium size plastic bowls then you can put them inside the freezer . maybe if you dont keep them for couples moonths might get so old and taste weird. but i think itwoldnt turn greenish colors if you do keep inside the cold freezening box.

yes, simply stir before you serve. Freeze no more than 1 month.

sour cream turns funky after it freezes and you rethaw it

Yes you can, however they most likely will not taste very good. I personally wouldn't.
