Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Transfer and Garnish: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Sprinkle some additional crushed candy canes on top for an extra festive touch.
  6. 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.
