“A snack to share”—the tune of friend and family gatherings everywhere when guests are told what to bring. And, no matter how big or small the party is, at the top of our list for shareable and craveable snacks is always… dips!

There are few foods more diverse than dips. Salty or smoky, spicy or sweet, these customizable snacks are sure to please.

And, as you know, any good dip needs something to dip in it. That’s where we come in. Our mini buns like Party and Dinner rolls make great dip accompaniments.
