Private-label discount chain Aldi Inc., Batavia, Ill., introduces a line of frozen dairy-based dips that one simply heats and serves. Resembling a hockey puck (3-inch diameter, but about 2-inches high and weighing 7 ounces), the dips are ready after three minutes in the microwave. Varieties are: Creamy Spinach & Artichoke, Spicy Buffalo Style Chicken and Zesty Queso. The dips are manufactured by Les Plats du Chef Inc., Quebec, Canada. The artichoke variety is also available through Aldi’s sister store Trader Joe’s of Monrovia, Calif.
