– 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
– 1 cup miniature chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup crushed peanut butter cups

Instructions

1. Place the softened cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
2. Beat the cream cheese on medium speed for 1 minute until completely smooth and lump-free.
3. Add the peanut butter and continue beating for 30 seconds until fully incorporated.
4. Gradually add the sifted confectioners’ sugar in three additions, scraping down the bowl between each addition.
5. Pour in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, then beat for 1 minute until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
6. Sprinkle in the fine sea salt and mix for 15 seconds to distribute evenly.
7. Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in the miniature chocolate chips using a silicone spatula.
8. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and smooth the surface with an offset spatula.
9. Sprinkle the crushed peanut butter cups evenly over the top, pressing them gently into the surface.
10. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and texture to firm.
Now you’ve got that silky-smooth texture that makes every scoop pure perfection. Notice how the salty peanut butter base balances the sweet chocolate chips for that classic candy bar experience. Serve it with crisp apple slices for contrast or go all-in with pretzel rods for that sweet-salty crunch.
