I love 7 layer dip! I remember as a child devouring it with Fritos whenever my mom made it for a get-together. I really like the idea of grabbing a cup of dip to add to your plate instead of scooping off of a massive platter (which ends up looking like slop at the end of the party). These dip cups were very easy to throw together and I was able to do them a day or two in advance and keep them in the refrigerator. I used standard size clear acrylic punch cups and used a large piping tip to make layering the cups quick and easy. Here's how it all went together...
