Mummy Dip - aka Avocada Dip

I had so much fun with my Whooo You Lookin At Dip last year I wanted to make another Halloween themed one... Here's a super simple Mummy! If you love avocado this is a nice change from Guacamole (please make no mistake, I love me some guac!), this is just creamier and mellower.

And in this reporter's opinion... cuter:@)

Doesn't he look scared- They're gonna do what with those tortilla chips???

Avocado lovers will notice that there isn't any citrus in this recipe to keep it green.
After 4 hours my dip did get darker, so it's best to whip this up and serve it within a couple hours.

Mummy Knows Best-Avocado Is Good For You!

Avocado Dip

For each mashed avocado:
2 Tblsp sour cream-light is ok
2 tsp very finely minced onion
1 1/2 tsp dry Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing mix
1/8 tsp garlic powder
a few hearty grinds of fresh black pepper
Large green or black olives for eyes-I cut the last 1/3 off... Cook's snack:@)
Sour cream for topping

Mix everything except olives and additional sour cream.
Mound onto a bowl or plate and shape more like an oblong than a circle.
Place eyes.
Put a flatter icing tip into a disposable icing bag (I used a Wilton 101 petal tip).
Fill icing bag with sour cream, about 1/2 C and pipe back and forth to make the bandages. Squeeze any unused sour cream back into the container.
Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Serve with tortilla chips.

My tip: I keep a box of these Wilton Disposable Icing Bags on hand and use them for everything from deviled eggs to, well, icing! Even posted about them here. A craft store coupon makes them affordable and a box lasts me a very long time.
