Base
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 (8 oz) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
Add-ins
- 1 cup chopped pecans, divided
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
Toppings
- 1/3 cup caramel dip
- 1/3 cup chocolate syrup
- Mix Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Fold in Whipped Topping and Add-ins: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture. Then, mix in ¾ cup of chopped pecans and ¾ cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Transfer the dip to a 9-inch pie plate and spread it into an even layer.
- Prepare Caramel Sauce: Slightly warm the caramel dip in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds to make it easier to drizzle. Drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the top of the dip, followed by the chocolate syrup.
- Add Final Touches: Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of chopped pecans and ¼ cup of chocolate chips on top of the caramel and chocolate syrup layer to finish the dip.
- Serve or Refrigerate: Enjoy the dip immediately with your favorite dippers such as graham crackers or fruit slices, or refrigerate until ready to serve to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
- This dip is best served chilled, but can be enjoyed immediately after preparation.
- Use fresh pecans for the best crunch and flavor.
- Substitute caramel dip with homemade caramel sauce if preferred.
- Pairs well with graham crackers, apple slices, pretzels, or vanilla wafers.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
