Recipe:

Serves 4

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Servings: about 3 cups

Ingredients * 1 loaf (1 ¼- to 1 ½- pound) hearty round bread, unsliced * 1 package (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened * 1 cup mayonnaise * 1 cup shredded mozzarella or pizza blend cheese * 1 packet Hidden Valley® Ranch Dressing & Seasoning Mix * ½ cup chopped orange pepper * 1 can (2.25 ounces) sliced black olives, drained, reserved 2 slices * ¼ cup chopped fresh basil * Assorted fresh vegetables

Directions 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Hollow loaf, leaving bottom 1-inch thick. Cut 1-inch cubes from the hollowed out inside bread: set aside. Use leftover top of the bread for a stem.
3. Place loaf on baking sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly toasted. Remove from oven. Cool on a wire rack until ready to use.
4. For dip, combine cream cheese, shredded cheese and Hidden Valley® Ranch Dressing & Seasoning Mix in a medium microwave safe bowl. Heat in microwave on high 1 to 1 ½ minutes, stirring half way through. Remove and stir until cheese is completely melted. Stir in remaining ingredients. Heat one minute or until heated through.
5. Spoon dip into bread. Please 2 reserved olive slices near top for "eyes" and triangle orange peppers for the nose and mouth. Serve with reserved bread cubes and fresh vegetables for dipping.

does anyone in canada have any information concerning the ranch dip prohibition ? I thought ranch dip was gone forever when they replaced it with mayo(it still is called ranch) 10 years ago then a new american chain restaurant opened up and they had REAL ranch. but within a couple of weeks it was replaced.

American chocolate tastes like wax compared to canadian chocolate and canadian chocolate tastes like wax compared to british chocolate. incrimentalisation.
