Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 8-oz package cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
Sweeteners and Flour
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated in the microwave for 30 seconds)
Flavoring and Add-ins
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Mix Cream Cheese, Butter, and Peanut Butter: In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese, unsalted butter, and creamy peanut butter together until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Add Sugars, Flour, and Vanilla: Blend in the powdered sugar, brown sugar, heat-treated all-purpose flour, and vanilla extract with the mixer until fully combined and creamy.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Using a wooden spoon, gently fold the semi-sweet mini chocolate chips into the mixture, distributing them evenly without breaking them up.
- Chill the Dip: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve. This helps the dip firm up and flavors to meld.
- Serve with Dippers: Present the dip alongside an assortment of dippers such as teddy grahams, graham crackers, and apple slices for a delicious snack or dessert option.
Notes
- Heat-treating the flour in the microwave is important to eliminate any potential bacteria, making it safe to eat without cooking.
- For best results, ensure the cream cheese and butter are fully softened to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate chips based on preference.
- Store any leftover dip covered in the refrigerator; consume within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
- This dip is best served chilled but allow it to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving if it becomes too firm from refrigeration.
