Ingredients:

  • 1 block (16 ounces) processed cheese with jalapeno peppers

  • 1 cup mild salsa
  • 2 cups hot salsa

    • Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the black beans and both types of salsa until well combined.
  3. Create the Bread Cauldrons:

  6. Garnish and Serve:

    • Arrange the bread pieces and cocktail bread around the cauldrons for easy dipping.
    • To complete the look, place the reserved pretzel rod in the cheese dip, resembling a stirring rod in a witch’s cauldron.
