Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted (for topping)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and softened butter together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add the peanut butter and vanilla extract to the bowl. Beat until fully combined.
- Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until incorporated, then increase speed to medium and beat until the dip is light and fluffy.
- Transfer the peanut butter dip to a serving bowl.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter mixture. You can swirl it in slightly or leave it as a top layer.
- Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow it to firm up slightly.
- Serve cold with graham crackers, apple slices, or pretzels.
Notes
- For a true Buckeye look, drizzle the melted chocolate over the top and then use a knife to create swirls.
- If you want a richer chocolate flavor, use milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet chips.
- This dip tastes best when served chilled.
