Move over...there's a new "crack" in town. And this dip is definitely it. Don't make it unless you plan on over-indulging or you have many friends around to help you eat it. I promise you, there won't be any left.
It's so delicious, especially when served with tart Granny Smith apples. The sweet and sour balance each other out and make for this wonderful food-dipping experience.
This is perfect for your upcoming Halloween party (serve in a hollowed out pumpkin). It will also be great for Thanksgiving, Christmas....okay, pretty much any holiday or gathering.
It will take you five minutes to make. Everyone will love you.
Caramel Toffee Fruit Dip
From Our Best Bites
1 8 ounce package of cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup brown sugar
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 a bag of Heath toffee bits (there is only one size, find them next to the chocolate chips)
Beat cream cheese, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg until smooth. Stir in toffee bits. Place in a serving bowl and serve with Granny Smith apples or fruit of your choice. This can also be pre-made and placed back in the refrigerator, it will not stiffen up.
