In our best french onion dip ranking, senior staff writer Jordan Myrick had high praise for Target’s Good & Gather Classic Onion Dip. “It’s super thick and creamy, and tastes more like cream cheese than sour cream, which is heavenly. Onion flavor and onion pieces are prominent throughout,” they noted. Adding this impressively creamy onion dip is sure to light your breath and your viewing party on fire––in the best way.

This chip goes above and beyond by being great even just on its own!
