Halloween "spider" Dip

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans

• 1 (16 ounce) jar salsa

• 1 (4 ounce) can green chilies (optional)

• 1 (4 ounce) can sliced black olives (optional)
• 3 tablespoons sour cream (approx amount)
• 4 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
• 6-8 black olives
• 6-8 raisins
• rosemary, approx 4-inch sprig

Directions

1. 1

   In a medium bowl mix the refried beans and about 1/3 cup of the salsa together.

2. 2

   Pour into an 8 or 9" round glass baking dish and spread.

3. 3

   Spread green chilies if using.

4. 4

   Layer on sliced olives if using.

5. 5

   Cover with remaining salsa.

6. 6

   Cover with shredded cheese.

7. 7

   Bake in oven at 350 degrees for about 20 min or until heated through -- OR -- microwave on high with vented plastic wrap for about 5 minutes.

8. 8

   While the dip is cooking make the "spiders".

9. 9

   Using a toothpick poke 3 holes on opposite sides of each whole olive. (Yes I know spiders have 8 legs, not 6, but I ran out of room). Cut individual leaves off the rosemary and stick one into each hole. Then slip a raisin most of the way into the olive leaving out a small "head".

10. 10

    Let the dip sit for a few minutes after removing from the oven/microwave.

11. 11

    Spoon the sour cream into a sandwich bag and clip off the corner of the bag (make it small). Start by putting a dot of sour cream in the center of your dip, then make lines starting from the center to the edge. Make 8 lines in total (like you would cut a pie). Then, starting near the center, connect the lines creating the "web". When complete scatter your "spiders" on the web.
