Banana Bread BEER Dip

Banana Bread BEER Dip: a sweet dip that taste just like teddy grahams with a touch of banana and beer right at the end. Surprise your guests with this treat! So good!

I warned you on Instagram that this was happening. My friend at work brought be a bottle of Wells Banana Bread Beer and I knew I could have some fun with it in the kitchen.

This is my first creation.

Banana Bread Beer Dip. This is definitely more of a sweet dip than a savory dip. Actually, it tastes almost exactly like teddy graham crackers and then right at the end you taste just a little banana beer. I realllly liked the addition of mini-semi sweet chocolate chips but some of my co-workers said plain was the best.

As for dipping materials. I went with min pretzels for the little addition of salt. But vanilla wafers were delightful as well.
