Recipe Tips And Variations
- Use softened cream cheese – This helps you have a smooth and creamy dip. I pop mine in the microwave for about 15 seconds.
- Use powdered sugar – Granulated sugar doesn’t work as it doesn’t dissolve into the cream cheese as well. Sift it too!
- Use other candy – You can use M&M Easter pastel-colored candies or other candies depending on the occasion.
- Crush the candy – You want to either crush the candy with a rolling pin, in a food processor or chop it with a sharp knife.
Storage
- Prep Ahead – You can make this dip 3 days in advance, just give it a stir when serving.
- Store – Leftovers can be stored for 3 days in the fridge.
