DAIRY FREE QUESO

I don't know about you guys but I love football and especially the playoff's and it's even better when my teams are in it! This year I would love to see Kansas City (go Mahomes!!) play Greenbay (since Bears are out already!) for the Superbowl! So with that said - we like to have snacks on those afternoons and this one is a great take on a favorite of ours.

Serve this up with plantain chips, Siete Tortilla chips or even Blue Diamond Nut Thins.
