Ingredients

Scale

Dip Base

  • 8 oz cream cheese block, softened
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Caramel Layer

  • 2/3 cup caramel dip

Toppings

  • 2 tbsp toffee bits
  • 1 tbsp peanuts, chopped
  • 1 tbsp walnuts, chopped

Serving

  • Apples, fresh and sliced, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the ingredients together until smooth and evenly combined.
  2. Heat the caramel: Place the caramel dip into a microwave-safe container and heat it in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until it reaches a pourable consistency.
  3. Assemble the dip layers: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into the bottom of a serving dish to form the base layer.
  4. Add the caramel layer: Pour the warmed caramel over the cream cheese layer and spread it evenly to cover the surface.
  5. Top with crunch: Sprinkle the toffee bits, chopped peanuts, and chopped walnuts over the caramel layer for added texture and flavor.
  6. Serve with apples: Arrange fresh, sliced apples around the dip and use them to scoop up the creamy caramel mixture for a perfect bite every time.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is well softened to avoid lumps in the dip.
  • Adjust the amount of powdered sugar to taste for sweetness preference.
  • Use apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji for crisp, flavorful dipping.
  • Can substitute walnuts and peanuts with other nuts based on preference or allergies.
  • The dip is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours; bring to room temperature before serving.
