This Halloween dip idea looks far more impressive than it actually is (it is actually REALLY easy) and it is a must have at any Halloween party.
Adding the sour cream spider's web makes a spooky addition to any dip, but we did it on guacamole because it's the best dip in our opinion and green is "spooky". It's a Halloween appetiser that will really impress.

Spooky Halloween Dip Ingredients
A full ingredients list, along with US Customary and Metric measurements, can be found in the recipe card at the end of this post.
- Avocado, lime and coriander (cilantro) - The ingredients needed to make the guacamole, which is the base of this Halloween dip recipe. Generously season with salt and pepper.
- Cheese, tomato and jalapeños - This is put round the edges of the guacamole. But any dip toppings will work. We used Red Leicester cheese as it is orange and gives a good contrast against the green guacamole. You could do it in layers, but we think it looks better this way.
- Sour cream and yogurt - This is mixed together to make the spider's web. You could use just sour cream, but we added in some Greek yogurt to lighten it up. Cream cheese would work too, but it might be too thick to decorate neatly.
- Black olives - These are used to make the spider. Cut one in half and use one half for the body the other half cut into thin strips for the spider's legs.
Halloween Dip Variations
Any dip works here - it's all about the sour cream spider web and olive spider on top. We used guacamole, but any darker coloured dip will work.
You can also make this as a layered Halloween dip. Do a layer of refried beans/black beans or even spiced cooked ground beef, then Restaurant Style Salsa and then the guac on top.
To make a spiderweb in a different way than we have in the video, you can do circles starting with a tiny one in the centre and getting bigger as it goes to the sides. Then, take a tooth pick and run it in a line down from the biggest circle to the smallest. Do this all the way round until it looks like a spiders web.
Why not also serve the dip in a cut out pumpkin? It will need to be a small, wide pumpkin.
How to Make Halloween Dip
- Step one: Put the avocado into a bowl and mash until your desired consistency.
- Step two: Add the salt, pepper, lime juice and coriander (cilantro). Mix well.
- Step three: Put the grated cheese and chopped tomatoes around the edge of the bowl.
- Step four: Put the sour cream and yogurt into a squeezy sauce bottle with a fine nozzle and draw a spider's web. Add the sliced jalapeños.
- Step five: Use one black olive as the spider's body. Thinly slice the other olive to make the spider's legs.
- Step six: Put the olive spider onto the web and serve.
What to Serve With Halloween Dip
You can serve this with whatever you would normally dip with. To keep with the spooky theme, serve it with our Halloween Tortilla Chips.
We also like to dip Homemade Crackers, pretzel sticks, Air Fryer Tortilla Chips or veggie sticks like carrot, cucumbers and bell peppers.
Serve it along side our impressive looking Halloween Veggie Tray as part of your Halloween party.
Frequently Asked Questions
If you don't have a squeezy sauce bottle to make the spider's web, then you can put the sour cream in a plastic zip lock sandwich bag and then squeeze it into a corner and snip a small hole in the corner so it's like a piping bag.
No, you shouldn't make this in advance, as the guacamole will change colour due to oxidation. If you do need to make it in advance (no more than an hour), then you can use a pastry brush to brush some lime juice on top of the guacamole.
This should be eaten straight away, however if you do have leftovers then you can keep it in an air tight container in the refrigerator until the next day. It will have changed colour though.
