Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for thinning chocolate)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and softened butter together until smooth.
- Add the peanut butter and powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture. Beat on medium speed until fully combined and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Transfer the peanut butter mixture to a serving dish and spread it evenly.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the vegetable oil in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until completely smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the peanut butter base. Spread gently to cover the top layer.
- Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow it to set.
- Serve cold with graham crackers, pretzels, or apple slices.
Notes
- For a richer chocolate topping, use milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
- If you want a fluffier texture, fold in 1 cup of whipped topping after the peanut butter mixture is combined.
- This dip is excellent for game day or as a quick dessert dip for parties.
