The classic flavor combo, now in dip form.
You folks all know how much I love dips. And I don’t limit myself to the usual savory dips, like bean dip or onion dip; I like to surprise the crowd with sweet dips, which can be an appetizer and a dessert all in one. I have a Caramel Cheesecake Dip for fall, a Creamy Peppermint Dip for Christmas, and a Cookie Dough Dip for basically any time.
But none of the mixtures I came up with for my sweet dips could ever improve on the most famous sweet flavor combo of all time – the dipping of chocolate in peanut butter. So I figured, well, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em!
This Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake Dip starts, as any good sweet dip should, with sweetened cream cheese. It’s got peanut butter blended in to create a sweet, peanutty base, and whipped cream stirred into that to make it extra light and creamy.
Finally, for the real kicker, you fold in a chopped peanut butter cups. So now you’ve got the complete package – chocolate, peanut butter, and a sweet, creamy, fluffy texture.
Maybe this isn’t actually better than the very first time chocolate was ever dipped in peanut butter. But it’s at least as good.
