Servings
Ingredients
- 8 oz block of cream cheese softened
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 16 oz container of caramel dip store-bought
- ½ cup toffee bits
Instructions
Prepare the Cream Cheese Base:
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, place the softened cream cheese. Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining.
Incorporate the Sugar:
- Add the granulated sugar to the cream cheese and continue mixing until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture appears light and slightly fluffy.
Assemble the Dip Base:
- Transfer the sweetened cream cheese mixture to a shallow serving dish. Spread it evenly across the bottom using a rubber spatula, ensuring a smooth surface.
Add the Caramel Layer:
- Heat the caramel dip according to the package instructions until it reaches a pourable consistency. Pour the warmed caramel evenly over the cream cheese layer and use a spoon or spatula to smooth it into a uniform layer.
Finish with Toffee Topping:
- Sprinkle the toffee bits evenly over the caramel layer. Ensure even distribution to add crunch and sweetness to every bite.
Serve:
- Present the dip with freshly sliced apples, graham crackers, or pretzels as dippers. Serve immediately or chill for 15–20 minutes before serving if a firmer texture is preferred.
