This dip is deliciously addictive! Creamy dip with a little bit of heat from the jalapeños, bursting with flavor from the MexiCorn and the green onions. This is a hit and the first thing gone at every party — It isn’t “award winning” for nothing!
For my Mother in Law’s birthday we had a pool party, and everyone brought something. This {Award Winning} Crack Dip showed up on the table and everyone went CRAZY for it! My nephew’s girlfriend, Barbie, had brought it over, receiving the recipe while they had vacationed this past summer.
I said to her, “What is IN this stuff? I can’t stop eating it!” She rattled off some crazy ingredients, and said “It’s so good, and you can’t stop eating it. Everyone loves it, that’s why it’s called Crack Dip, I guess!”
She texted me the recipe right after the party, I had it saved in my phone, only to get a new phone, and lost it. Once again she texted me the recipe, and I knew when I was invited to a party last weekend, exactly what I was bringing!
I was invited to my one of my youngest daughter’s close friends home, where her mom was having a girl’s night for Christmas. We were asked to bring a cocktail, a dessert or an appetizer. She said there would be a fun contest with a winner for each category voted on by the women in attendance. Each category would receive a prize.
We had just watched The Grinch earlier this week and have been doing quotes and laughing. I immediately said, “Award? There’s and Award?”
I took the dip and it won for the best appetizer. I had to come home and tell Barbie that it won. She said her Mom had taken it to work earlier that week for a pot luck and everyone wanted the recipe. This one here is a winner friends, you have to try it!
I mean, after all, it’s “Award Winning!”
Add all of the ingredients to a big bowl — stir to combine.
This recipe calls for MexiCorn. You can find it in one of two places in your market, right by the regular canned corn, or in the Ethnic/Hispanic food section.
Once the dip is combined, cover it and place it in the refrigerator over night — for a whole day is even better. Trust me — it gets so much tastier as the flavors all combine.
Serve with tortilla chips for dipping. Watch it DISAPPEAR.

** Update: This Recipe has been ON FIRE since I posted it. It is consistency in the top 5 recipes of all time on my blog. All of those people can’t be wrong! 😉
If you make this recipe, I’d love to know! Snap a picture, share the photo on social media with the hashtag #AnAffairFromTheHeart – I’d love to see what you made! – Michaela
Rieka says
I’ve made this for four years now and it’s a crazy huge crowd pleaser. We couldn’t believe how good it tasted really- considering I don’t normally use mayonnaise outside of a sandwich! It definitely deserves 5 stars.
Michaela Kenkel says
Thrilled you love it!! Thanks for the sweet comment!
Marla says
Thought this was good but I added for a little more flavor. Added 1 pkg dry HVR dressing, chopped black olives and a fresh red pepper. Delicious!
Jenn says
I stumbled upon this recipe while searching for corn dip recipes. It sounds amazing & I’m looking forward to trying it! One thing I saw that I wanted to clarify, you say 3 bunches of green onions. Do you really mean 3 whole bunches or just 3 individual stalks? 3 bunches would be approx 21-22 individual stalks & that seems like waaay too much green onion & I love green onion! Just thought I’d ask..
& just for the heck of it, I added a pic of a bunch of onions 🙂

Michaela Kenkel says
I know it sounds crazy! But yes, it’s 3 bunches. I know the bunches can vary, but typically there are about 5-6 per bunch. It just works!
Bonnie Crim says
Help, I need to know which one regular canned jalapeños, or pickled? There are two different answers given. Please e Mail me ASAP. Thank you Bonnie Crim
Michaela Kenkel says
I always use the ones in the jar – they are pickled.

Delicious! My friends came into town for a few days. I originally made a 1/2 batch; however, the couldn’t stop eating it so I made it 3 more times!
Michaela Kenkel says
So happy that you liked it!!
Meredith says
This says 2819 calories per serving?! Is that correct or is that for the entire dip?
Michaela Kenkel says
Yikes! Not sure what happened there! Yes, that was for the whole bowl! This makes a lot! (perfect for a party!) It’s fixed now.
Parisa says
Love this dip!! I add a packet of fiesta ranch seasoning and use cream cheese instead of Mayo to make it a little thicker! It’s always a hit!
Michaela Kenkel says
Makes me happy to hear that you liked it!
Dana says
I’m assuming fresh corn would work??
Michaela Kenkel says
This dip is actually made with Mexicorn, which contains some peppers, too. If you try it, make sure the corn is cooked and add some red peppers, too! Let me know what you think.
leslie says
can i use greek yogurt instead of the mayo?
Michaela Kenkel says
Greek yogurt is typically a good replacement for sour cream, but it’s entirely different from mayo. It would change the flavor of the dip considerably.
Marsha Tucker says
I have made your recipe a lot and bring it to all kinds of parties!! Everyone loves it and asks for the recipe! I have never sent a comment on a recipe before. It came to mind to comment today because I am making it again for a Birthday Party next weekend. Thanks again, this one is a real keeper!!
Michaela Kenkel says
Marsha – thank you so much for taking the time to share this with me! I am so happy that you love it, too!
Jennifer G says
Can i sub something else for the Mayo?
Michaela Kenkel says
Without completely altering the taste, no. I am unsure why? Is it a flavor thing or an allergy?
Reece says
Omg I added a packet of ranch and 5 strips of crispy bacon. Wowwwwwwww! Was good before but these additions made it more addictive than “, crack” 🙂
Michaela Kenkel says
Happy that you found a way to make it your own and that you enjoyed it!
Liz says
Can I substitute the Mayo with plain Greek yoghurt?
Michaela Kenkel says
It will change the taste completely, but the consistency should be close.
Jo says
Are you able to smoke this recipe?
Michaela Kenkel says
I have never heated this recipe before — If you just used smoke it would still warm it — sounds yummy actually?🤔 Will you let me know if you try it?
Katen says
What size/amount is 1 serving? Or how many cups does the recipe make?
Michaela Kenkel says
Off hand, I don’t know how many cups it makes, Katen. The next time I make it I will measure it. The nutrition is based on serving 15.
JulieG says
Adding my compliments! Served it at a Ladies game night and then the next night at a neighborhood gathering. Lots of requests for the recipe as it was so delish. The first night I served it after 4 hours (oops but still yummy), but it was even better the next day after sitting overnight!
Michaela Kenkel says
I am so happy that you enjoyed it, Julie!
Rachel Campbell says
I added a teaspoon of Slap Ya Mama Cajun seasoning and it went to a whole other flavor level. I love the dip on it’s own, but this pack of friends I served loved the spice level.
Michaela Kenkel says
Ooooo! I need to give that a try! Thanks for the suggestion!
Lindsay says
Sorry guys, this recipe is okay and pretty basic. But I wouldn’t think it would be award worthy. I had to add some seasoning to spice it up a bit. This is my opinion! Not to offend anyone and please feel free to make it for yourself. I enjoyed it warmed up instead of cold.
Michaela Kenkel says
Uncommon answer when it comes to this dip – but everyone’s tastebuds are different! I have heard it is good warmed up – I will have to give that a try!
