Crack Corn Dip

Crack Corn Dip is a cold and creamy Mexican corn dip. Corn gives it a sweet and savory taste, and jalapenos add a kick of heat. Terrific blends of flavor!

I know what you are thinking. Corn? In a dip? Yes! Scoop with tortillas chips for the ultimate crunch! Similar to elote, this dip is packed with flavor, but easier to eat off of the cob.

This easy appetizer is best served cold. However, you can make a warm variety of this dish in a slow cooker.
