What is a Zombie Snot Dip?

Zombie Snot Dip is a fun and spooky-themed party dip, perfect for Halloween gatherings. It’s typically a vibrant green color, resembling something you might imagine a zombie’s snot to look like—hence the name!

The dip is often made with ingredients like guacamole, spinach, or other green-hued foods, but I used White Queso Cheese for this recipe.

When it comes to pairing with the ghoulishly delightful Zombie Snot Dip, there are some perfect companions to consider. Spiced pita chips, with their satisfying crunch, make a classic choice that perfectly complements the dip’s creamy texture.

For those looking to add a fresh twist, vegetable sticks—like carrots, celery, and bell peppers—offer a crisp contrast that’s both refreshing and visually appealing.

And let’s not forget bread, which, when cut into wedges, provides a soft and chewy option for those who crave a more substantial bite.

Together, these pairings ensure your Halloween spread is as spooky as it is scrumptious!

Zombie Snot Dip Ingredients

1 Loaf of French Bread – This gives you the perfect, crusty-on-the-outside-soft-on-the-inside dipping vessel for our spooky green dip.

1 can/jar of White Queso Cheese – This creamy, dreamy cheese forms the base of our dip, providing a rich, tangy flavor that is the perfect partner for our French bread.

Neon Green Food Coloring – This is where the magic happens! A few drops will turn your queso into a bowl of brilliant Zombie Snot. Not only is it an eye-catcher, but it’s also completely flavorless, so your dip will still taste amazing!

Optional: black food marker or toothpick and black food coloring – If you really want to elevate your presentation to the next level, you can create some creepy designs on your bread or even make it look like the bread is infested with bugs! Remember, the scarier the better when it comes to Halloween food.

How to Make Zombie Snot Dip

Now that you have all the ingredients, it’s time to make this fun and spooky dip!

1. Start off by heating the white queso cheese. You can do this in a microwave or on the stovetop; the aim is to get it warm and melty. 
2. Once the cheese is sufficiently warm, you’ll want to add some neon green food coloring. 
3. Drop in as many drops as you need until you reach your desired color. Make sure to stir the cheese thoroughly to ensure the coloring is evenly distributed.
4. Next, you’ll need your loaf of French bread. If it isn’t precut, go ahead and slice it into manageable pieces. 
5. Using your nose-shaped cookie cutter, press out your nose shapes from each slice of bread. If you don’t have a nose-shaped cutter, don’t worry; an egg-shaped or round cookie cutter will work just as well. Just bend the cut-out pieces to resemble a nose shape. 
6. Alternatively, you can draw or print a cut-out of a nose, place it atop a bread slice, and carefully trace around it with a knife.
7. Once you have all your nose pieces cut out, arrange them on a cookie sheet. 
8. Lightly butter the tops of each piece before placing the sheet into a preheated 350-degree oven. 
9. Bake them for about 5 minutes, or longer if you like your bread pieces a little more toasted. 
10. Once done, remove the sheet from the oven and let the pieces cool.
11. For an optional final touch, dip a toothpick in black food coloring and dab the nostrils of your bread noses. This will give them a lifelike shadow effect. 
12. Now your nose-shaped snacks are ready to be dipped in the neon green queso cheese and enjoyed!

Tips for Making This Recipe

1. Experiment with the color: Don’t be afraid to adjust the amount of green food coloring you use to reach your desired shade of green. The more you add, the darker and more vivid the color of the Queso will be.
2. Use a cookie cutter for uniformity: A cookie cutter will ensure that all of your bread noses are uniform in size and shape. If you don’t have a nose-shaped cutter, you can easily make one by bending a round or egg-shaped cutter into a nose shape, or by tracing a printed cut-out of a nose.
3. Be careful with the toasting time: Depending on your oven and the thickness of your bread slices, the toasting time may vary. Start checking your bread after about 5 minutes to prevent them from getting too crispy.
4. Add a touch of creativity: For an extra touch, use a toothpick dipped in black food color to dab where the nostrils should be. This adds a shadow and gives a more realistic appearance to your bread noses. Remember, this step is optional but can add a fun and realistic touch to your final creation.
