This Halloween Cheese Dip is the perfect way to add some spooky flair to your next Halloween party or potluck! It is so easy to make too.
Halloween is such a special time of year. I love going all out with decorations, costumes, food, and candy. My house is one of the first houses to get decorated in our neighborhood.
In order to make Halloween extra fun, I wanted to make an easy dip to snack on before and after trick or treating. This Halloween dip is a great recipe for parties, potlucks, or in between answering the door for trick-or-treaters!

🥣 Ingredients needed
Complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
For this recipe, you will need:
- Velveeta
- Diced tomatoes with green chiles: Such as Rotel. I used mild but feel free to use whatever your spice preference is.
- Black olives
- String cheese
🧂 Variations
Breakfast sausage or a block of cream cheese are a nice addition to this cheese dip.
You can swap the cheese dip recipe out for your favorite (my family also loves this Crockpot Chili Cheese Dip and this Crockpot Spinach Queso) and just add the cheese and olive eyes to make this dip festive.
🔪 Equipment needed
You can make this cheese dip in any large pot. I used a cast iron skillet because it had a witches’ cauldron look to it. You can also make this dip in your slow cooker but I recommend transferring it to another dish when serving or the eyes will melt quickly.
⏲️ Recipe instructions (step by step guide)
Begin by spraying your pot with non-stick spray. Cube your cheese, add it to your pot, and then add the diced tomatoes with green chiles (do not drain). Heat the mixture over medium-low heat (image 1). Stir occasionally.
While the dip is melting, cut your cheese sticks into pieces then using a pairing knife cut a small hole for the olive eye (image 2). Do not cut too small as the cheese stick will melt some when coming into contact with the hot dip. Cut a small piece of the black olive and then add it inside of the cheese (image 3).
Stir until your dip is evenly melted (image 4). Place the cheese stick and olive eyes on top of the dip (image 5).
🥗 What to serve with this recipe

👩🏻🍳 Tips
- Cut the string cheese thicker than you think. Some of it will melt when you place it on top of the dip.
- I used a cast iron skillet because I thought it gave the recipe a Halloween vibe (like a witch’s caldron) but you can use any pot and then transfer to a dish.
