Blue Cheese Dip (Jill’s favorite)
Ingredients
Units
1 stick butter (not margarine), softened
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened
2 oz. crumbled blue cheese
1/2 small package (2–3 Tbsp.) slivered almonds, toasted
2 Tbsp. chopped ripe olives
Instructions
- Mix everything.
- Chill.
- Serve with chips.
Notes
- If you want to make a ball or log, then don’t mix in the almonds. Instead, make your cheese ball or log and then roll it in the almonds.
- To toast your almonds, lay them on foil or a pan and heat in a 400° oven until brown. Watch carefully.

A friend of mine made this for me a few years ago, and it’s heavenly…
This is my favorite dip in the whole world. I only make once a year and that is Christmas. Most everyone in my family doesn’t like blue cheese so I am the only one who eats it. I make 1/2 a batch on Christmas. I curl up with it, a bag of chips and a 2liter of Pepsi and dig in. I then make the other 1/2 one week later for New Years and do the same. I would probably weigh 500 lbs and be sicker then a dog if I allowed myself eat it more then once a year.
Sometimes confession is so good for the soul. :)
Other than chocolate, blue cheese it about the only thing you can put on anything and make it taste better!
