Submitted by litldarlin

"This is an excellent dip w/ veggies to take to work instead of all those cookies, cakes & junk food that our office seems to bring into work each week. Although I don't care for the hot pepper sauce, it does give it that kick. There is only 157 calories, and Total Fat is 4 grams, and 5 grams of Fiber."
