Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon maple extract or vanilla extract
- ½ cup caramel dip
- 2 tablesppons Heath Bits
- 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts
- apple slices and other dippers
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. This is much easier to do if the cream cheese has been sitting out at room temperature. If you are pressed for time microwave on 50% power for 30 seconds at a time being cautious to not melt the cream cheese.
- Add powdered sugar, cinnamon, and extract. Mix until well combined and fluffy. Spread the cream cheese mixture in the serving dish evenly.
- Pour the caramel dip on top and smooth it out using a spatula. If it is too thick to pour, microwave for 15 second intervals and stir in between each interval until it loosens up a little.
- Sprinkle the chopped peanuts and Heath bits on top of the caramel layer. Serve with the apple slices and enjoy!
