Every dip into our queso will remind you and your guests of the comforting embrace of home. After all, it only makes sense to make Queso Mama a staple for all your Halloween gatherings.
The roots of Halloween trace back thousands of years to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, where people lit bonfires and wore costumes to ward off ghosts. Later, Halloween evolved into a community celebration filled with festivities, fun, and food! And what better way to add a delightful twist to this age-old celebration than with Queso Mama, melding the past’s rich traditions with today’s exquisite flavors.
The most enticing part of Halloween is recipes with a Queso Mama twist! Try the Halloween Taco Pizza recipe below with the kids. For the grown-ups, indulge in Queso-Stuffed Jalapeño Poppers. Fill hollowed jalapeños with Queso Mama White Queso with Roasted Jalapenos and a hint of smoky chipotle, wrap them in bacon and then baked to perfection. The dish will warm up even the chilliest of Halloween nights.
Taking the festivity up a notch, why not add queso to your party games? Introducing Dip & Dare: Blindfold your guests and have them dip a chip into one of Queso Mama’s varieties. If they guess the flavor right, they’re safe. However, guessing the wrong flavor results in a light-hearted Halloween dare. Another fun game is Queso Pictionary: Players dip their chips into the host’s favorite Queso Mama’s variety. The team uses their chips covered in the gooey queso dip to draw Halloween-themed items or characters for the other team to guess the drawing.
As the witching hour draws near and the moonlight dances on your spooky gathering, always remember: Halloween might come with its share of tricks. However, Queso Mama is always a treat! Knock, knock. Who’s there? Queso. Queso who? Queso you’re ready for a spooktacular time with us!
