1/4 cup chocolate chips

Tips & Variations

For a smoother dip, use creamy peanut butter instead of chunky.
You can substitute mini Reese’s cups with chopped regular-sized ones or other peanut butter candies.
Add a pinch of sea salt on top to balance the sweetness.
Chill the dip for 30 minutes before serving for a firmer texture.

Storage

Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Before serving again, let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes or give it a gentle stir to soften. Avoid freezing as it may affect the texture.

FAQs

Can I make this dip dairy-free?

Yes, substitute the cream cheese and butter with dairy-free alternatives like vegan cream cheese and plant-based butter. Use peanut butter cups free of dairy as well.

What can I use to dip besides fruit and pretzels?

This dip pairs well with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, rice crackers, or even pretzel sticks for a salty crunch. Choose sturdy dippers that can hold the creamy dip.
