• Cream Cheese

• Hot Chocolate Mix – whatever your favorite brand is
• Powdered Sugar
• Vanilla Extract
• Mini Marshmallows
• Mini Chocolate Chips

How To Make Hot Chocolate Dip

• Cream Together. You can use an electric stand mixer, hand mixer, or just a spatula to beat together the butter and cream cheese until well combined.
• Mix. Add in the marshmallow cream, hot chocolate mix, and powdered sugar. Mix everything together until it is smooth and well blended.
• Vanilla. Add in the vanilla extract.
• Mix-Ins. Stir in the mini marshmallows and chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed. If you are making ahead, I like to leave these out until I am ready to serve, or they tend to get sticky and change the texture.
• Garnish. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and then top with your favorite hot chocolate garnishes. I like mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and crushed peppermint candy. But you can go crazy!

What To Serve With Hot Chocolate Dip

You can get really creative with what you serve a dessert dip with. Similar to Cookie Dough Dip and Brownie Batter Dip both sweet and salty options are great!

• Graham Crackers
• Pretzels
• Nila Wafers
• Oreo Cookies
• Apple Slices
• Strawberries

Recipe Tips & Suggestions

• Make It Ahead. This is a great dip to make ahead and have ready and waiting for you in the fridge. If you do make it ahead, wait to stir in the marshmallows until the end and top with any garnishes at the end. The marshmallows will just get soggy and change the texture of everything if you let them sit for too long.
• Get Creative. This recipe is rather basic, so get creative with your flavors if you want. Use peppermint extract or maybe coffee extract to give it different flavors. Stir in crushed candy canes for a different texture. So many different things to dip in it, you can never get bored!
• Softened Cream Cheese. Make sure your cream cheese is soft, so you really can blend it together well. You do not necessarily need a mixer to make this, but if your cream cheese is not super soft, you may prefer to mix it with a mixer to get it really smooth and well combined.
• Marshmallow Cream. Did you know you can make your own Marshmallow Fluff? So easy, and so much better than the jarred stuff from the store. It would work really well in this dip recipe.

Storage

Fridge – this will last in an airtight container for 2-3 days in the fridge. You may want to give it a quick stir when you take it out to serve the leftovers.

Freezer – technically you can freezer this dip. If you do, I highly recommend not adding the mini marshmallows. But beware, when you do thaw it, depending on the brand of ingredients use, and the moisture content, it may be a little grainy.
