Avengers Assemble! Hawkeye’s Target Practice Pizza Dip (made as part of a sponsored partnership for Avengers: Endgame) is perfect for an Avengers party or Avengers movie night! 
Who else loved Avengers: Endgame and is SO excited to be able to have it at home?! We are! But if you haven’t seen it, be sure to read our Avengers: Endgame review here. So in celebration of the movie releasing on Blu-ray/DVD on August 13th (and July 30 on Digital), we’re sharing this SUPER tasty target practice pizza dip inspired by Hawkeye.
Hawkeye Avengers Recipe
Hawkeye is one of our very favorite Avengers! In fact, Mr. Mom Endeavors dressed up as Hawkeye for our family Avengers Halloween theme. And while we was sorely missing from Avengers: Infinity War, he played a VERY key role in Avengers: Endgame. In fact, the whole opening sequence of the movie is about Hawkeye and that scene centers around target practice. So, when I was asked to create a recipe inspired by Hawkeye, I had to do something to incorporate the target and the arrows. And what’s tastier for a party or movie night recipe than a delicious dip?! 
Seriously you guys, this recipe is SO good and SO easy to make! Just like Hawkeye is pretty much a “can’t miss shot”, this is a “can’t miss” dip that your Avengers party guests or family movie night watchers are going to love. I also happen to love that this particular target is modeled fully after the one used in the movie! So, grab your pretzel stick arrows and you won’t miss the mark diving into this bullseye!
