Looks fresh & inviting! I’m the girl who loves the spice so bring it on! 😉 This is a great party idea.
Awesome! I love it too 😉
Great idea! I love guacamole, maybe a little too much, if there is such a thing 🙂
Such a genius idea, Haley! With kids especially, our food ends up pretty bland, so this is the perfect way to make everyone happy!
So. Much. Fun. I love this idea so much, I’d probably throw a party centered around the guacamole bar itself! Gotta try this soon!
What a fun idea.
I absolutely love this idea- Guacamole is the best but everyone has their own opinions about what should go in there so having them make their own is so absolutely brilliant!! Can’t wait to have a party so I can try this out!
Please invite me to this party! 😉
This is such an awesome idea. As a guest I would be SO happy to have this because I would be able to make multiple types of guacamoles depending on the mood that minute haha! Such a fun and creative recipe!! 😀
