Ingredients
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup M&M's
- Graham crackers or pretzels for dipping
Instructions
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature, especially the cream cheese, to make mixing easier and smoother.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and peanut butter. Use an electric mixer or stand mixer to blend until completely smooth and no lumps remain.
- Add brown sugar and granulated sugar to the cream cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly until sugars are fully incorporated and the mixture becomes creamy.
- Pour in vanilla extract and mix briefly to distribute the flavor evenly throughout the dip.
- Gently fold in mini chocolate chips and M&M's using a spatula, being careful not to break the candies.
- Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl, using a spatula to smooth the top and create a rustic, mounded appearance.
- Optional: Sprinkle additional M&M's and mini chocolate chips on top for decorative presentation.
- Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and mixture to firm up slightly.
- Serve chilled with graham crackers or pretzels for dipping. Can be stored in refrigerator for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Always use room temperature cream cheese and peanut butter to ensure a smooth, lump-free mixture. Cold ingredients can create a chunky texture.
- Mix Thoroughly: Use an electric mixer to blend the cream cheese and peanut butter completely before adding other ingredients. This ensures a consistent, creamy base.
- Gentle Folding: When adding chocolate chips and M&M's, fold them in gently with a spatula to prevent breaking the candies and maintain their vibrant appearance.
- Chill for Flavor: Refrigerating the dip for at least 30 minutes not only helps it set but also allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Presentation is Key: Sprinkle extra M&M's and chocolate chips on top for a visually appealing and tempting look that will make your guests dive right in.
- Serving Suggestions: While graham crackers and pretzels are classic dipping options, try serving with apple slices, vanilla wafers, or even as a spread on toast for variety.
- Make-Ahead Friendly: This dip can be prepared up to 2 days in advance, making it perfect for party planning and reducing day-of stress.
