Ingredients

Scale

Cream Cheese Base

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

Sweeteners & Flavorings

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Add-ins & Toppings

  • 3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp chocolate sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Soften Cream Cheese and Butter. Leave the cream cheese and unsalted butter at room temperature until they become soft enough for easy mixing, about 30 minutes.
  2. Beat Cream Cheese and Butter. Using a mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  3. Incorporate Peanut Butter. Add the creamy peanut butter to the mixture and beat until fully combined and homogenous.
  4. Add Sugars and Flavorings. Mix in the powdered sugar, packed light brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Continue beating the mixture until it becomes fluffy and well blended.
  5. Fold in Mini Chocolate Chips. Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the mixture, distributing them evenly without overmixing.
  6. Chill the Dip. Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to allow it to firm up and the flavors to meld.
  7. Add Final Toppings. Before serving, sprinkle additional mini chocolate chips and optional chocolate sprinkles on top for extra texture and visual appeal.
  8. Serve with Dippers. Enjoy the Buckeye Dip with pretzels, graham crackers, or apple slices as delightful dippers.

Notes

  • The dip can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a firmer dip, chill for longer or add more powdered sugar.
  • Use creamy peanut butter for smooth texture; crunchy peanut butter can be substituted if desired for extra crunch.
  • If you prefer a less sweet dip, reduce the powdered sugar slightly.
  • Chocolate sprinkles are optional but add an attractive finish and subtle texture.
