Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping, thawed (or heavy cream, whipped)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, for melting
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add the peanut butter, sifted powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat until fully combined and creamy.
- Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until no streaks remain. Do not overmix.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the peanut butter dip. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the chocolate into the dip for a marbled effect, resembling buckeye candies.
- Chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow it to firm up slightly.
- Serve cold with your favorite dippers.
Notes
- For a richer chocolate topping, mix 1/2 cup of chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil before melting.
- If you prefer a lighter dip, substitute half of the cream cheese with plain Greek yogurt.
- This dip works well as a sweet snack dip for fruit or as a party appetizer.
