Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 (8 oz) container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Add-ins

  • 1 cup chopped pecans, divided
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided

Toppings

  • 1/3 cup caramel dip
  • 1/3 cup chocolate syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Fold in whipped topping and mix-ins: Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping to maintain its light texture. Then mix in ¾ cup of the chopped pecans and ¾ cup of the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dip.
  3. Transfer and layer: Spread the prepared dip mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie plate or similar shallow dish for serving.
  4. Warm the caramel for drizzling: Slightly heat the caramel dip in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to soften it, making it easier to drizzle smoothly over the dip.
  5. Top with sauces and garnish: Drizzle the warmed caramel sauce and chocolate syrup evenly over the dip’s surface. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of chopped pecans and ¼ cup of chocolate chips on top to finish.
  6. Serve or chill: Enjoy the dip immediately as a creamy treat or refrigerate until ready to serve for a firmer texture. Best served chilled.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the dip.
  • Use thawed whipped topping for the best texture; do not overmix to keep it fluffy.
  • Microwaving the caramel briefly makes drizzling easier but avoid overheating.
  • This dip is perfect for serving with graham crackers, pretzels, or apple slices.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
