Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
- 8 ounces whipped topping, thawed (like Cool Whip)
- 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture. Beat until everything is fully combined.
- Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until the mixture is light and creamy. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the mini chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dip.
- Transfer the Buckeye Dip to a serving bowl. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve your creamy peanut butter dessert dip with pretzels, graham crackers, apple slices, or cookies.
Notes
- For a sweet and salty snack dip experience, use salted pretzels for dipping.
- You can substitute the mini chocolate chips with a layer of melted chocolate poured over the top for a harder shell effect, similar to the candy.
- This dip tastes best when served chilled. If making ahead, cover and refrigerate for up to two days.
