Recipe Intro From thefeedfeed

We’re always game for a layered dip!  This 3 decker beauty is built all in the Calphalon ActiveSense™ Blender, and the best part is there is no need to rinse the blender between blending each layer.

The New ActiveSense Technology senses the load of the ingredients and accurately adjusts the speed, blade direction, and blending time while taking into account the pre-set options for precise results every time. This blender doesn't need you!
