Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
