Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (10 oz) package frozen chopped spinach (thawed and squeezed dry)
  • 1 packet vegetable soup mix (Lipton or Knorr)
  • 1 cup sour cream (light version optional)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise (light version optional)
  • ½ cup chopped onion (or substitute with chopped celery)
  • 1 (8 oz) can water chestnuts (drained and chopped)
  • 1 loaf unsliced bread (firm, rectangular loaf for coffin shape)
  • Dippers: Blue corn tortilla chips, pretzels, crackers, or bread cubes
  • Mini skeleton for decoration (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dip:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed spinach, vegetable soup mix, sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped onion, and water chestnuts.
    • Mix thoroughly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld.
  • Make the Bread Coffin:
    • Take the unsliced bread loaf and cut three sides of the top, leaving one long side attached to act as the lid.
    • Hollow out the bottom part of the loaf by cutting about 2 inches deep, leaving a ¾ inch border around the edge. Scoop out the bread and save it for dipping.
    • Hollow out the inside of the bread “lid” as well, about ½ to ¾ inch deep.
    • Optional: Attach a breadstick to the front of the coffin with toothpicks as a casket handle.
  • Assemble the Dip:
    • Line the inside of the hollowed bread with parchment paper if needed to prevent the dip from soaking through.
    • Spoon the spinach dip into the bread coffin, making sure it fills the well completely.
    • Place the mini skeleton inside for decoration, if desired.
  • Serve:
    • Prop the “lid” of the coffin slightly open using wooden skewers or toothpicks.
    • Arrange the bread coffin on a large platter and surround it with your choice of dippers: chips, pretzels, crackers, or bread cubes.

Notes

  • Bread Selection: Use a firm loaf of bread to maintain the shape and support the dip.
  • Dip Variations: Add extra ingredients like chopped bell peppers or shredded cheese to the dip for more flavor.
  • Decorative Touch: A mini skeleton adds a fun Halloween element, but other decorations like plastic spiders can be used.
