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)
Instructions
- Prepare the saucepan: Add the unwrapped caramel squares, heavy whipping cream, and creamy peanut butter into a medium-sized saucepan.
- Melt the ingredients: Place the saucepan over low heat and stir continuously for 8-10 minutes until the caramels completely melt into the cream and blend smoothly with the peanut butter, forming a homogeneous dip.
- Serve the dip: Transfer the warm dip into a serving bowl and offer it alongside apple slices, graham crackers, and/or pretzels for dipping.
- Store leftovers: Any leftover dip should be stored in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and can be gently reheated before serving again.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter, not natural, to ensure the dip has a smooth texture.
- The dip is best served warm but can be enjoyed at room temperature.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- If the dip thickens after refrigeration, gently reheat over low heat while stirring.
- Pair the dip with fresh apple slices, graham crackers, or pretzels for a perfect combination of flavors and textures.
