Graveyard Dip

Ingredients

• 1½ cups store-bought or homemade hummus
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 10 chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreos), crushed into fine crumbs
• 12 pretzel sticks
• 1 tablespoon tahini
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
• Pinch of flaky salt

Steps

1. 1

   1. Stir garlic, lemon juice, cumin, and smoked paprika into the hummus until fully combined, then spread it in an even layer across a shallow terracotta or ceramic dish.

2. 2

   2. Drizzle tahini and olive oil over the hummus surface, then use a spoon to create gentle swirls.

3. 3

   3. Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies in a zip-lock bag until you have fine, dark crumbs, then scatter them thickly over the top third of the hummus to create a 'soil' layer.

4. 4

   4. Spoon softened cream cheese into small upright rectangular mounds along the cookie crumb section to form 'tombstones,' smoothing each one lightly with the back of a spoon.

5. 5

   5. Press two pretzel sticks together in a cross shape and push each cross gently into a cream cheese tombstone; repeat for each one.

6. 6

   6. Finish with a pinch of flaky salt over the hummus, and serve immediately with extra pita chips or vegetables for dipping.
