German Beer Dip

Real beer (dried into 'beer buds') makes this mix a beer lover's delight. One taste, and everyone shouts, "Wow! A snack that tastes like beer! Now we can have our beer and eat it, too." For a cheese ball, mix with 8 oz softened cream cheese, 3 to 4 tablespoons sour cream and 3/4 cup shredded cheese. Chill for 2 to 3 hours. For a dip, stir mix into a pint of sour cream and enjoy with chips. Best chilled for several hours before serving. To make a Vegan Dip, blend package ingredients with 16 ounces of Toffuti Sour Supreme. Chill for 12 hours. Serve with crackers, chips and vegetables.
