Ingredients
Scale
Dip Base
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
Caramel Layer
- 1/2 jar caramel sauce (choose a thick, quality variety, not a runny caramel topping)
Topping
- Chopped chocolate toffee pieces (such as Symphony or Heath)
Serving
- Apple slices
- Graham crackers
- Vanilla wafers
Instructions
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, whip together the softened cream cheese, dark brown sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This forms the base layer of the dip.
- Assemble Dip Layers: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into a small shallow 5×7 casserole dish, ensuring a smooth surface for the next layer.
- Add Caramel Sauce: Generously spread a thick layer of the caramel sauce over the cream cheese base. Make sure it covers the entire surface evenly for balanced sweetness.
- Top with Chocolate Toffee: Sprinkle the chopped chocolate toffee pieces over the caramel layer to add crunch and chocolate flavor.
- Serve and Store: Serve the dip immediately with apple slices, graham crackers, vanilla wafers, or other dippable items. Store any leftovers tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Use a thick, quality caramel sauce to prevent it from running off the cream cheese layer.
- Allow the cream cheese to soften completely for easy whipping and smooth texture.
- Chopped chocolate toffee can be substituted with crushed toffee bars or your favorite crunchy candy.
- This dip pairs best with crisp apple slices and classic dippers like graham crackers and vanilla wafers.
- Keep refrigerated when not serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature if preferred.
