Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese, fully softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 (8-ounce) tub whipped topping
- 1 cup peppermint crunch baking chips, plus extra for topping
For Serving
- Chocolate graham crackers
- Chocolate-dipped pretzels
Instructions
- Start by placing the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip it on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy.
- Sprinkle in the powdered sugar and add the peppermint extract. Continue mixing until everything is well blended and silky, scraping down the sides if needed.
- Add the whipped topping and mix just until incorporated. The texture should be light and fluffy, not overmixed.
- Gently stir in the peppermint crunch chips by hand so they’re evenly distributed throughout the dip.
- Spoon the finished dip into a serving bowl and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve. Right before serving, sprinkle a few extra peppermint chips on top for a festive touch.
- Serve chilled with chocolate graham crackers and chocolate-covered pretzels for dipping.
