I love to cook and try new recipes , so my husband and I tend to have friends over often to entertain. After a couple dinner parties, though, I quickly realized how much time is required to make appetizers, side dishes, and more for a group of people. To relieve myself of some of the work, I’ve started looking for quick and easy options that require virtually no preparation.

When I had the chance to try a variety of Bitchin’ Sauce dips , they quickly became my new go-to. The flavorful dips and spreads can accompany veggies, crackers, and chips, and I was relieved to find the store-bought product packs the same punch as homemade recipes I’ve made. With football watch parties and holidays coming up, now is an ideal time to stock your fridge with Bitchin’ Sauce, especially while our readers can save 10% on orders with the exclusive code SAUCYSAVE10 at checkout.

Bitchin’ Sauce comes in 17 different sweet and savory flavors, and each one is almond-based, vegan, and gluten-free. When testing, I chose an assortment of six flavors in the Custom Saucy Shindig , including the original Bitchin’ Sauce, buffalo, cilantro chili, dill pickle, caramelized onion, and spinach artichoke.

While the texture is a little looser than other dips I’ve tried and made in the past, I was impressed to find how rich and flavorful each one was. I stuck with all savory flavors and was able to pair them with a variety of sides like pita chips, carrots, broccoli, cheeses, and more. If you’re looking for sweet, dessert-like options, consider the Sweet & Saucy Soiree with flavors like chocolate, salted caramel, and apple pie.

While they are great dips to set out as an appetizer, I quickly found more uses for them. I like to spread the buffalo dip on a lunch wrap with chicken, and the cilantro chili makes for a prep-free marinade on chicken for dinner. Since the delivery bundles come with at least six containers, the company assures the containers can be frozen for up to three months, so you don’t have to worry about using them all right away.

Bitchin’ Sauce can be ordered online in multiple pre-selected bundles in addition to the custom set, which are a great option if you’re not sure which flavors to try. Keep scrolling through to shop more bundles, and don’t forget to use code SAUCEYSAVE10 at checkout for 10% off.
