Confetti Bean Dip

       CONFETTI BEAN DIP

I  tasted this delightful dip for the first time at a friends home. I must have looked gluttonous, as I could not stop eating it! The same thing happens to others when I make it at home for guests or, bring along as an appetizer to parties. Serve with “scoop style” corn chips. You will surely be asked for the recipe!
