# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It's secretly addictive, the kind of dip that makes you abandon all manners and double dip when nobodys watching
  • The celery sticks aren't just garnish, that cool crunch completely transforms how the spicy flavors hit your tongue
02 -
  • I once doubled this recipe for a crowd and used a 9x13 pan, but the center took forever to heat through, so stick to a shallow dish for the best results
  • The dip thickens as it cools slightly, so those first five minutes out of the oven are actually prime dipping time
03 -
  • Don't skip the butter in the hot sauce, it's what makes the sauce coat everything evenly instead of separating
  • Room temperature ingredients mix so much faster and prevent those tiny cream cheese lumps
