    🥣Ingredients

    • cream cheese - gives the dip its creamy flavor.
    • brown sugar - don't use white sugar as the brown sugar has a deeper, caramel-like flavor thanks to the added molasses.
    • caramel sauce - this is the kind of sauce you would use to top an ice cream sundae.
    • toffee baking bits or mini chocolate chips - Heath and Skor both make these.

    STEP 4: Top the dip with the caramel sauce. You can place the caramel sauce in a squeeze bottle and then squeeze out a pretty design, or you can just drizzle on the sauce with a spoon.

    STEP 5: Add more toffee bits on top of the caramel to finish off the caramel apple dip recipe.

    You can keep this chilled in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.

    👩🏻‍🍳Expert Tips

    Tip 1: If you can't find the toffee bits, you can take a Heath bar and crush it in a zip-top bag using a kitchen mallet.

    Tip 2: Serve with some slices of apples. I find that granny smith apples and fuji sliced apples work particularly well but try your favorite variety.

      That sounds like a real treat! I love fresh apples- so crisp and tart. I bet that dip is sort of like a creamy caramel delicousness!
