Reese's Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Dip
Description
The dip begins by melting butter, light brown sugar, and creamy peanut butter together until the sugar dissolves fully, then cooling this mixture before blending it into beaten cream cheese and powdered sugar. This process yields a thick, luscious base that is neither too sweet nor too dense.
Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips and finely chopped mini Reese's peanut butter cups are folded in at the end, creating pockets of chocolate and peanut butter that give texture contrast in each bite. The dip can be served immediately or chilled for a denser consistency.
It pairs well with crunchy dippers such as pretzels, animal crackers, or graham crackers. The balanced peanut butter flavor highlights the candy pieces while keeping the dip versatile for parties or casual snacking.
Important preparation notes include fully cooling the butter and sugar mixture before mixing with cream cheese, thoroughly beating the cream cheese and powdered sugar until creamy, and adding candies last to maintain their texture. The dip stores well refrigerated and can be served cold or at room temperature depending on preference.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter unsalted
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup peanut butter creamy
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips mini
- 8 ounce Reese's peanut butter cup Minis or about 1 1/2 cup chopped Reeses cups
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and whisk in the brown sugar and peanut butter. Heat until sugar dissolves (about one minute). Remove from heat immediately and allow to cool to room temperature (very important).
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar until creamy (about 3-4 minutes, don't skimp on the beating time). On low, add in brown sugar mixture (that has cooled to room temperature). Mix until combined.
- Fold in mini chocolate chips and mini Reese's cups. Serve immediately or store in refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy with pretzels, animal cracker and graham sticks.
Notes
- Use light brown sugar to keep the dip's color light and peanut butter flavor prominent.
- Cool the butter, sugar, and peanut butter mixture completely before mixing with cream cheese.
- Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar thoroughly before adding the cooled butter mixture for a smooth texture.
- Fold in mini chocolate chips and chopped Reese's peanut butter cups last to preserve their texture.
- Serve immediately or store in the fridge; the dip can be enjoyed chilled or at room temperature.
- Pair with crunchy snacks like pretzels, animal crackers, or graham crackers for dipping.
