Paired with fresh, juicy apples, this easy toffee fruit dip is one of my favorite healthier desserts to serve at parties, potlucks, and picnics. It's easy to make, can be mixed up in advance & is a hit with both kids & grown-ups!
1/2-3/4cupchocolate covered toffee bits or chopped Heath bars
Instructions
Combine. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, brown sugar, vanilla & salt. Whip 2-3 minutes, until smooth and fluffy. Scrape down the bowl to make sure there aren't any lumps in the dip.
Stir In Toffee. Next, reserve 2 Tablespoons of toffee, then stir the rest into the dip until evenly distributed.
Garnish. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the reserved 2 Tablespoons toffee.
Serve & Store. Enjoy with apple slices, bananas, pretzels, and more! Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the fridge 2-3 days.
Notes
Toffee. My preference for this dip is chopped Heath Bars or Skor Bars (both of which are gluten-free!), but if you're using store-bought toffee bits, you have two choices. Heath English Toffee Bits (chocolate covered toffee bits) are my favorite kind of toffee bits for this dip. Otherwise, Heath Bits O' Brickle do NOT have a chocolate coating and will work (though the look & flavor will be slightly different).
Make-Ahead Tips. This toffee apple dip is GREAT for making in advance, since it keeps like a dream. If making it ahead of time, I like to save the 2 Tablespoons of toffee bits for garnish until right before serving. That way I can give the dip a good stir before serving.
Try It With Caramel! For an ultra decadent option, you can drizzle the toffee dip with caramel sauce before garnishing with the extra toffee bits for a caramel apple effect. It's DELICIOUS.
