Description

This Buckeye Dip is a rich and creamy dessert dip inspired by the classic Ohio buckeye candy. Made with cream cheese, peanut butter, sugars, and mini chocolate chips, it offers a perfect balance of sweet and nutty flavors. Ready in just 15 minutes, it's an ideal treat for parties, game days, or any time you want a decadent and easy-to-make dessert dip. Serve chilled with graham crackers, teddy grahams, or fresh apple slices for dipping.


Ingredients

Dip Ingredients

  • 1 8-oz package cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ¼ cup all purpose flour (heat-treated in microwave for 30 seconds)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet mini chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Beat the base: In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese, butter, and creamy peanut butter together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Add sugars and flavor: Gradually blend in the powdered sugar, brown sugar, heat-treated flour, and vanilla extract, mixing until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is thick and smooth.
  3. Fold in chocolate chips: Using a wooden spoon, gently fold the semi-sweet mini chocolate chips into the mixture to distribute them evenly without breaking the chips.
  4. Chill the dip: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve, allowing it to firm up and flavors to meld, about 1 hour.
  5. Serve with dippers: Present the chilled Buckeye Dip alongside your choice of dippers such as teddy grahams, graham crackers, or sliced apples for a delightful treat.

Notes

  • Heat-treating the flour by microwaving it for 30 seconds ensures safety when consuming uncooked flour.
  • For a firmer dip, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • You can substitute creamy peanut butter with natural peanut butter for a more intense peanut flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Use mini chocolate chips for better distribution throughout the dip and ease of spooning.
