After all, with great layers comes great responsibility.

Don’t worry, there’s no actual caviar in this dip. (Incidentally, there also isn’t any cowboy in it.) Instead, the recipe features numerous types of beans and peppers, and is a personal favorite of my mother-in-law to whip up at parties. Serve it layered or mixed up like a salsa. This Layers of Happiness recipe lives up to the site’s name.

The good news? This 47-layer dip is sure to shock your party guests, and you’ll forever go down in history as the 47-layer dip host. The bad news? As opposed to the aforementioned 35-layer dip, it’s not entirely practical, and not all the layers truly go well together. But hey, few people get famous doing practical things. Just ask Evel Knievel, Alice Cooper or Lady Gaga. Head over to Buzzfeed for this beast of a recipe.
