Heading into the holiday season, it’s time to indulge in a little foodie fun.

Ingredients
1 can (14 oz/398 ml) artichoke hearts, drained and rinsed
1 pkg Spinach & Artichoke Hot Dip Mix
1 brick (8 oz/250 g) cream cheese, softened
1 cup mayonnaise
1 loaf (1 lb/450 g) bread
1⁄4 cup unsalted butter, melted, divided
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400° F. Line Sheet Pan with Sheet Pan Liner.
Finely chop artichoke hearts. In a bowl, combine chopped artichoke hearts, hot dip mix, cream cheese, and mayonnaise.
Cut bread into a grid pattern without cutting all the way through the loaf; leave about an inch uncut at the bottom.
Pry apart bread squares; brush 3 tbsp butter into the crevices and on top of bread. Spoon dip into the crevices so they are very full. Drizzle or brush remaining 1 tbsp butter on top of loaf.
Bake 15–20 min, until golden. Sprinkle on parsley, if desired.
