We’ve come up with the perfect blend of summer sweet corn and cheese in an indulgent melt-y dip that will keep you coming back for more, right to the very end of corn season. The presentation is a showstopper: a sizzling cast-iron pan, bubbling away with a mixture of sweet Pennsylvania corn and cheese, ready and waiting for a locally made pretzel to dive right in. Mayo, cream cheese and sour cream make it creamy and luscious, while jalapeno lends some heat. Put a dish of this out before a barbecue or during movie night with a round of cold beers, and watch it disappear like magic!
