Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup caramel sauce
  • 1/4 cup toffee bits

For Serving

  • Apple slices

Instructions

  1. Mix the Base: Add the softened cream cheese, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to a mixing bowl. Stir the mixture until it is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. Prepare the Serving Platter: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto the bottom of a small rimmed serving platter, creating a flat and even layer as the base of the dip.
  3. Chill the Dip: Cover the platter with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the dip until you are ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to set slightly.
  4. Add Toppings: Just before serving, spread the caramel sauce evenly over the cream cheese layer. Then sprinkle the toffee bits generously on top to add crunch and extra sweetness.
  5. Serve: Arrange fresh apple slices alongside the dip for dipping. Enjoy the contrast of creamy, sweet dip with the crisp, tart apples.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature for easy mixing.
  • You can substitute toffee bits with chopped nuts or crushed caramel candies for variety.
  • Use a tart variety of apples like Granny Smith to balance the sweetness of the dip.
  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • For a gluten-free option, confirm that the toffee bits are gluten-free or omit them.
