Ingredients

Units Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 1 (11 oz) bag caramel squares (about 40), unwrapped
  • 3/4 cup (177ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup (134g) creamy peanut butter (not natural)

Serving Suggestions

  • Apple slices
  • Graham crackers
  • Pretzels

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the unwrapped caramel squares, heavy whipping cream, and creamy peanut butter to a medium saucepan.
  2. Heat and Stir: Place the saucepan over low heat and stir continuously for about 8-10 minutes until the caramels melt completely into the cream, forming a smooth, velvety dip.
  3. Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and enjoy immediately with apple slices, graham crackers, or pretzels for dipping.
  4. Store Leftovers: Refrigerate any leftover dip in an airtight container. Before serving again, gently warm to restore the creamy texture.

Notes

  • This dip is best served warm to maintain its creamy texture.
  • Use creamy peanut butter, not natural, for the best consistency and flavor.
  • You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a slightly lighter version, though the dip will be less rich.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator and gently reheat before serving.
  • Great as a party dip or a fun dessert for kids and adults alike.
