Skillet Garlicky Spinach and Feta Dip

The combination of Greek yogurt, mayo, and cream cheese turns a creamy spinach dip into the ultimate indulgence. We dare you not to dunk into this Mediterranean diet-inspired dish. (Actually, you simply can't miss with this one, so be sure to have plenty of crudités and toasted crostini ready.)

Pull-Apart Pretzel Skillet

Savor two of the best pub appetizers—soft pretzels and beer cheese—in one irresistible cast-iron skillet dip. After one bite, you'll wonder why this mash-up hasn't been on your menu before. A mix of all-purpose and whole wheat flour makes pretzels sturdy enough to dip into the mozzarella and cheddar filling and still make it onto your plate (and into your mouth).

Skillet Jalapeño Crab and Corn Dip

Kick off Mexican night with a must-dunk hot dip. Give corn, pepper, and garlic a head start in a cast-iron skillet, then add pickled jalapeños, crabmeat, and all the creamy ingredients. Bake until it's bubbly perfection.

Test Kitchen Tip: For a unique riff on a skillet Buffalo chicken dip, try this recipe with leftover or canned chicken instead of crab.

Cheesy Skillet Artichoke Dip

Imagine pulling a golden brown dinner roll from this spinach artichoke dip, then swiping it into the still-bubbling layer underneath—now stop dreaming and start cooking this crowd-pleasing dish. Cheesy, creamy, and flavorful, there's nothing we'd change about this appetizer idea.

Skillet Chipotle Chorizo and Bean Dip

Spice fans will swoon over this cheese and bean dip made in a cast-iron skillet. Sausage-spiked chipotle peppers in adobo sauce give it a smoky heat they (and you) won't be able to resist.

Test Kitchen Tip: If white meat is more your style, try cooked ground chicken or shredded rotisserie chicken as a substitute for the chorizo. Voilà: Skillet white chicken chili dip.

Lemon-Dill Artichoke Dip

Fresh fennel is one of the most underutilized vegetables. To coax the unfamiliar into giving this licorice-flavored root a try, we added it to a delectable cheese and artichoke dip. Think of it as a spinach-artichoke dip with a grown-up, unexpected, and dill-infused makeover. The results are so tasty, you might want to serve this dip in something like a mini cast-iron skillet, so no one can encroach on your precious dip turf.

Strawberry S'mores Cobbler

Whether you cook it in the oven or on the grill, you can absolutely make this sweet treat in a cast iron skillet. This s'mores dip offers all the familiar toasted marshmallow, melted chocolate, and graham cracker goodness you remember from childhood campfires, just in a less messy, fruit-supplemented package.

Skillet Snowman Cheese Dip

Kids and kids at heart will melt when you add this fondue-like creation to the snack spread. The cheesy cast-iron skillet dip is supremely dippable and silky thanks to a full pound of cheese (pro tip: freshly shredded, rather than store-bought pre-shredded cheese, will melt best) that's thinned out with some white wine or chicken broth. If you're feeling playful, use olives and a baby carrot to make a smiling face to greet everyone at the gathering as they make their way over to dunk and devour.
