When I See-food, I Dip It

Seafood Dips - Aldi

I am pretty sure I heard someone raving about Aldi's Crab Rangoon dip, but I can't quite remember who. Anyway, when I spotted it, and a Lobster Roll version, I figured I would give it a shot. 

More often than not, I judge food products based on their first impressions, but here I decided to give it a bit more time. Mostly because my first taste of either dip was really underwhelming. I more-so tasted the creamy bases than anything else and texturally I found them unappealing. I decided to grab the Aldi-versions of Wheat Thins and give them each a try as an after-work snack to give these a fair shake, and these are my findings:

With all the snow that we've been getting in Jersey, I've been going to Aldi more frequently. Like most people, I like to stock up on basics before bad weather hits, but during my last trip I found this frozen container of buffalo dip in the Specialty Buy section. (Home to all things random.) It isn't like I needed to buy this dip, but I was kind of curious, so into the cart it went!

Soft Pretzels and Buffalo Cheese Dip - Pinterest Recipe Review

Soft Pretzels and Buffalo Cheese Dip - Pinterest Recipe : The PIN

Time for another Pinterest recipe! I think I’ll try and do a Pinterest recipe every Sunday so I can slowly work my way through my recipe board.

I have been wanting some warm soft pretzels for a while, and pinned a bunch of recipes for them. I finally decided to make some last night and opted for this recipe which included some yummy buffalo cheese sauce for dipping.

The recipe was very simple and easy to follow. (Especially if you have a standing mixer with a dough hook.) At first glance the steps can be a little intimidating, since you boil the pretzels before baking them in the oven, but really it’s all very easy to do. (The boiling step is very important for the proper texture.)
