- 10 to 12 Candy Cane Kisses, chopped finely
- 1 cup softened cream cheese
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup crushed candy canes
Instructions
- Chop the Candy Cane Kisses: Start by unwrapping about 10 to 12 Candy Cane Kisses. Chop them finely to enhance their flavor and texture in the dip.
- Mix Cream Cheese and Marshmallow Fluff: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of softened cream cheese and 1 cup of marshmallow fluff. Using a hand mixer, beat them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Powdered Sugar: Slowly add 1 cup of powdered sugar to the mixture, mixing well to avoid lumps. Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more powdered sugar if desired.
- Fold in Candy Cane Pieces: Gently fold in the chopped Candy Cane Kisses and 1/2 cup of crushed candy canes. This will add a pleasant crunch and festive peppermint flavor to the dip.
- Transfer and Garnish: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Sprinkle some additional crushed candy canes on top for an extra festive touch.
- Serve: Serve the dip immediately with an assortment of dippers such as graham crackers, pretzels, or sliced fruits like apples and strawberries for a perfect holiday snack.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to achieve a smooth dip texture.
- This dip is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of crushed candy canes on top for more or less crunch and peppermint intensity.
- Use a hand mixer or stand mixer for the smoothest consistency; mixing by hand may result in lumps.
- If you want a thicker dip, refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving to firm up slightly.
