Parties that focus on appetizers can be a dairy minefield, and the Super Bowl is certainly no exception. Sour cream based dips, flavored chips, and nachos oozing with cheese make up the standard fare ... but who's to say standard is the best way to go?

Fortunately, the recipe couldn’t be easier. My version has just 7 ingredients and requires only about 15 minutes of hands on time.

I’m the first to admit it isn’t the healthiest recipe. Besides peanuts, the main ingredients are corn syrup and sugar. Although I usually make it only once a year, this recipe still holds a special place in my heart.
