The Honest Stand Dips Spice it Up for Blue Cheese, Ranch & Nacho Fans

A few years back, I told you about The Honest Stand Cheesy Sauces. They were very well received, but the Denver-based company decided to up their game. In 2018, they reformulated and repackaged their four sauces into five dips, and added certifications for organic, vegan, and paleo. This year, they’re scoring even more points with an eye-catching redesign, and two spicy new of The Honest Stand Dips flavors: Sriracha Ranch and Buffalo Blue.

The Honest Stand Dips Take on Dairy-Free Blue Cheese and Ranch

We tried both new flavors of The Honest Stand Dips. You can see what we thought in the quick video below, followed by more product information.

Truth be told, my favorite is still the Smoked Cheddar. It’s so rich, sultry, and versatile. It was Eleanor’s favorite, too. But as expected, Tony did love the Buffalo Blue. If you buy and try any of these flavors, be sure to leave your own unbiased rating and review below!

This reminds me of spicy velveeta. Impressive for a copycat, but not my favorite.

This is more like hummus. It’s spicy and I thought the flavor was good though.

Really tried to find some redeeming quality here. The Smoked Cheddar Style Dip caught my eye as I love both flavors. Of course it was sealed until I got home. There is possibly an extremely faint smell of smoke but that could also come from the Tamarack/Caldor fires smoke we have been living under for more than three months. There is no flavor of Cheddar. The creaminess/texture is nice. Could I possibly gotten a bad batch – not likely.

Thick, Rich, Flavorful

Their most recent formulation is thicker and richer than before. It even stays thick as it gets to room temperature, unlike many other brands. I’ve tried every flavor, and honestly, they’re all good. But my favorite is the Smoked Cheddar, which everyone in my household seems to love. My husband is a blue cheese fan, and he really likes the Buffalo Blue.

As a heads up, both the Mild and Spicy Nacho flavors are quite spicy. We like spice, but I definitely wouldn’t call the former “mild.” If you really don’t like heat, stick with the Cheddar or Smoked Cheddar – they’re good on nachos too!
