Ingredients
Dip Ingredients
- 8 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
- 16 ounces thick caramel sauce, divided
- 1/3 cup toffee bits
Dippers
- 1-2 apples, sliced
- graham crackers
- pretzels
- vanilla wafers
Instructions
- Beat cream cheese and sugar: In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and packed brown sugar. Use a hand mixer to beat the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add caramel sauce: Pour in half of the caramel sauce to the cream cheese mixture and continue beating until well combined, creating a smooth caramel cheese dip.
- Assemble the dip: Spread the prepared caramel cheese dip evenly into a 1-quart serving dish. Drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the top and gently spread it into an even layer. Sprinkle the toffee bits on top for added crunch and flavor.
- Serve with dippers: Arrange apple slices, graham crackers, pretzels, and vanilla wafers around the dip. Serve immediately for a delicious and crowd-pleasing treat.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest texture and richest flavor.
- For a thicker caramel sauce, chill it slightly before mixing to prevent it from running too much.
- Feel free to substitute toffee bits with chopped nuts or crushed cookies for different textures.
- Keep leftover dip refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Serves 8 comfortably as a snack or appetizer.
