I cannot help remembering food more than occasion. Food is memorable and can transport you to another place. Every time I taste brownie batter now, I remember my thirteenth birthday party and how much of it I ate. I knew I would have to find that recipe again someday so I got on Pinterest and lo and behold, there was the amazing recipe I so loved and remembered. I bought all the ingredients, whipped it up and ate the whole things sitting in front of the TV watching Hallmark movies. I don’t even feel guilty.
Check out what our friends over at Mel’s Kitchen Cafe had to say about this:
“Seconds to whip together, this dip is perfect on anything from pretzels to strawberries, animal crackers to apples”
Oh goodness yes, the options are endless.
Ingredients
8 ounces Philadelphia cream cheese, light or regular, softened to room temperature
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) Land O’ Lakes butter, softened to room temperature
2 cups Domino powdered sugar, plus more for a stiffer consistency, if needed
5 tablespoons Gold Medal all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons Hershey’s cocoa powder, regular or Dutch-process
2 tablespoons Domino brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2-4 tablespoons McArthur milk
Chocolate chips for garnish (optional)
Pretzels, strawberries, graham crackers, animal crackers, apples for dipping
Instructions
In a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer or in the bowl of an electric stand mixer, whip together the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Add 2 cups of the powdered sugar. Mix well. Add the flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, vanilla and 2 tablespoons milk. Mix until fluffy and smooth. Add additional powdered sugar and/or milk, if needed, until desired consistency is reached. The dip should be soft enough to easily dip a pretzel in (without breaking the pretzel!) but not so soft that it spreads out instead of holding it’s shape in a fluffy cloud of brownie batter goodness. Garnish with chocolate chips, if desired.
