If you doubt the awesomeness that is the foundation of a seven-layer dip, hold up for a second.

No, the seven-layer dips in this roundup are carefully crafted masterpieces that you should be honored to taste, let alone serve with your Super Bowl spread this Sunday. There is a unique art to dips like these. All those layers have to go together with every scoop of a chip during those four quarters.
