I really enjoy alot of the recipes on Lil Luna web page, I've made a lot of different ones especially the desert recipes. She has quite a few dips and appetizer recipes.  Check it out.

@cinderford please take a look at Tablespoon's website.  Lots of great ideas (both sweet and savory) for dips from simple chip-n-dips to more heaty ones to spread on toasted breads.  This is one that is simple yet genius (why didn't I think of that?):

@Loveac, glad you mentioned this one. The cream cheese, Old English and Roka Bleu is excellent. I've made it a lot over the years and always get compliments. Sometimes I've even just put the mixture in a nice dish and didn't bother with making it into a ball.

Thank You everyone for your ideas and links.

Simple but tasty Mexican dip

In a 9" pie plate, layer the following (5 layers):

1) 1 small can of Bean dip (sold in grocery stores)

2) 8 oz sour cream + 3 or 4 Tbsp. taco seasoning (to taste)

3) 2 ripe avocados mashed + 1 Tbsp lemon juice + a couple shakes of hot sauce

4) 1 cup shredded Cheddar or Mexican blend cheese

5) 3 or 4 green onions diced, including some of the greens + 2 or 3 Roma tomatoes diced + 1 small can diced black olives, drained

Refrigerate before serving with corn chips.

Our family loves a frozen roll of sausage fried and crumbled with a can of Rotel and a block of creamed cheese all melted together in a pan. Use Fritos for dipping. It looks kind of strange, but it tastes so good!

Artichoke/spinach dip

• One 10-ounce box frozen chopped spinach, thawed (no need to drain unless very watery).
• One 14-ounce can artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped.
• One cup shredded parmesan-romano cheese mix.
• One half- cup shredded mozzarella cheese.
• 10 ounces prepared alfredo sauce (I use the Bertolli in a jar).
• One teaspoon minced garlic.
• Four ounces softened cream cheese.
• Hot pepper flakes (optional) or black ground pepper

Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.  Mix well.  Bake in 350-degree oven for about 30 minutes (remove when you see the cheeses bubbling).  

Serve with scoop chips or crackers.
