Pepperoni pizza dip

If chips and dip and pizza had a baby, this would be the wonderfully fabulous result! I love pizza and chips and dip so much – what could be better than combining the two?! It’s like diving into an extra cheesy crustless pizza. But you don’t miss the crust because tortilla chips, duh. Also, no crust means it’s gluten-free! So all those poor souls that have gluten allergies can finally indulge in Italy’s greatest gift to the rest of the world.

• 8 ounces low fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
