Pepperoni Alfredo Pizza Dip: Layers of cheese, Alfredo sauce, and mini pepperonis makes a fun and delicious dip for game day, for parties, or as an after school snack.
Are you completely candied out right now?
I figured after a night dedicated to all candy, you could use a cheesy dish of goodness. Was I right?
Last night our younger two decided that they still wanted to go trick or treating in the cold. We let them and a few friends go up and down our street by themselves. They are still young enough that I didn't want them going any further by themselves.
Although with the rain and cold, they were perfectly content to let us drive them from house light to house light after they realized just how chilly it was to walk around at night.
Yesterday my husband was out picking up a few things for our Friday night pizza night. He called and wanted to know what kind of candy to get for passing out. He really wanted to get the Tootsie Roll mix, but I convinced him to go with the good chocolates.
Not that I am against Tootsie Rolls, but I knew if we had leftovers I could use them somehow in my baking. Have you seen these Chocolate Reese's Cookies or this Twix Fudge? Candy bars are definitely much easier to bake with.
With the rain and cold, there were not many kids out trick or treating. So guess who ended up with a huge bowl of candy? Hello, cookies and M&M Blonde Brownies!
I'm sure you are tired of even hearing about candy by now.
So, how about a pizza dip full of cheese and pepperoni? Oh, and don't forget the Alfredo sauce. This is one amazing dip!
Making Pepperoni Alfredo Pizza Dip
Start by spreading the cream cheese in a plate. Then top it with Alfredo, cheese, and mini pepperonis.
Then let it get all melty in the oven for about 20 minutes. (Go ahead and raid the kids Halloween buckets while you wait.)
Now get ready to attack the plate with some crackers or chips.
Gotta love an easy cheesy dip that happen in minutes!!!

Pepperoni pizza is the beeeeeeeeeest, yo! I want it in everything! (when I was a kid, I totally wanted the Midas Touch powers, but to turn everything into pepperoni pizza). This cheesy, pepperoni-y, dippy goodness needs to be in my life like... yesterday!

I might be candied out but I'm never cheesed out. I <3 the alfredo addition! That makes pizza dip 10x better. This is a foodie's dream dip Jocelyn!

Anything cheesy gets my two thumbs up! I finally decided to start a pinterest board just for dips....though I probably should have called it a gooey cheese board. Given a bowl of mini carrots, I think I could eat this dip as a meal. 🙂
Jocelyn Brubaker
Carrots+this dip=dinner!! 😉 Thanks Wendy!
Renee@Two+in+the+Kitchen
This does look like a big bowl of cheesy goodness!! And yes, unfortunately because of the cold weather, we did not get many Trick or Treaters either. Oh well, Time to bake!! 🙂

It was raining and cold here too - I had to turn back home after only 10 minutes with our daughter while my husband took our son around for another hour. This cheesy dip would totally have hit the spot after that! Love the alfredo sauce in here!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Gotta love the rain on Hallooween night! 😉 Thanks Kelly!
Gayle @ Pumpkin 'N Spice
This dip looks fantastic, Jocelyn! I think I could eat this whole dish by myself. I love the alfredo flavor, too!
Julie @ This Gal Cooks
This is the dip I've been waiting for my entire life. Looks SO good, Jocelyn! Lovin the addition of alfredo sauce into the mix. Because alfredo sauce is one of the best things ever!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Alfredo sauce is definitely one of the best things! 🙂 Thanks Julie!
Jen @ Baked by an Inrtovert
Since we don't have kids we spent the evening at an Irish Pub getting hammered instead of passing out candy.
I could literally eat this dip with a spoon. It's so ooey gooey and delicious looking.
Anna @ Crunchy Creamy Sweet
This looks insanely good! I am all about cheesy dips!

What perfect cheesy goodness! And after walking about 5 miles worth of city streets collecting candy with my daughter, I had precisely 3 pieces. And then came in for cheese & crackers! Cheese hits the spot, always 🙂 pinned!

Candy, cheese, and crackers! Sounds like a great night! Thanks for pinning, sweet girl! 😉
