Kettle Brand chips - Views From the Ville

This is a partnered post with myself, Champions for Kids and The Motherhood to introduce the Snacks for Students program. All words and opinions are my own.

Over the years I’ve worked with Champions for Kids a few different times.

Thank you to Kettle Brand for sponsoring this Chip-Crusted Hot Artichoke Dip Recipe.

One area that I generally don’t mix things up, though, is when it comes to favorite recipes that have been passed down from family members.

Hot Artichoke Dip is one of those recipes. It’s something my husband’s aunt makes for every family gathering and it’s delicious. As in, seriously addictive, can-I-please-just-stand-next-to-the-dish-with-a-spoon kind of good. So I was thankful when she gave me a copy of her recipe so that we didn’t have to wait as long for the next opportunity to indulge.
