Ingredients

  • 6 ounces of cream cheese softened

  • 8 ounces of cool whip thawed
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

  • Working in batches, slowly add the powdered sugar allowing each previous addition to incorporate before adding more.
    1 cup powdered sugar
  • Fold in the cool whip and mini chocolate chips. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
    8 ounces of cool whip, 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  • In a medium bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips following the directions {mine said 30 seconds at 50% power; stir; additional 10 second increments until fully melted}. Drizzle the melted chocolate on top of the dip and let sit for 2 minutes. Serve with cookies or graham crackers for dipping.
    1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Notes

  • Refrigeration for at least one hour is recommended. The dip tastes great immediately upon mixing but refrigeration improves the consistency and flavor.
  • You can use semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips for the chocolate drizzle.
  • Nut free butters like sunflower or similar can be used but may change the consistency of the dip.
  • The dip can be made ahead, through step 3, and stored, covered, for up to two weeks. Drizzle with the melted chocolate just before serving for best results.
