How to Store Party Dips Leftovers

The best way to store dips, whether they’re cold or hot, is to prepare yourself for leftovers—you read that right. When making these party dips in big batches, ideally, you’d want to serve them several scoops at a time. The reason behind it is to avoid spoilage due to temperature changes, double-dipping (it happens!), or any insects or bugs if you’re doing an outside gathering. That way, you’ll be preserving these dips’ freshness and flavors, and you can easily store untouched portions in glass containers, without having to throw away any leftovers.
