How to Make Bubbling Cauldron Hot Cheese Dip
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Melt cheddar cheese in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth and melted.
- Remove from heat and stir in the rinsed and drained black beans and salsa. Mix well.
- Carefully cut a 1-1/2 inch thick circle from the top of the marble rye bread, creating a bread bowl. Remove the bread from the inside, leaving a sturdy shell.
- Cut the removed bread into bite-sized pieces for dipping.
- Reserve one pretzel rod. Arrange the remaining pretzel rods on a serving plate to create a “campfire” effect.
- Place the bread “cauldron” onto the pretzel campfire.
- Fill the bread cauldron with the cheese dip, allowing some to spill over the edges for a more dramatic effect.
- Arrange the reserved bread pieces and optional cocktail breads around the cauldron.
- Place the reserved pretzel rod into the cheese dip as a spooky “stick”.
- Serve immediately. Enjoy your bubbling cauldron of cheesy deliciousness!
