Description

Buckeye Dip is a creamy, sweet, and indulgent no-bake dessert dip inspired by the classic buckeye candy flavor combination of rich peanut butter and chocolate. This easy-to-make dip combines softened cream cheese, butter, peanut butter, and sugar, folded with semi-sweet chocolate chips, perfect for serving with graham crackers, apple slices, or teddy grahams at parties and gatherings.


Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter

Sweeteners & Flavorings

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated in microwave for 30 seconds)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Mix-ins

  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet mini chocolate chips


Instructions

  1. Combine Cream Cheese, Butter, and Peanut Butter: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, unsalted butter, and creamy peanut butter together with an electric hand mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Add Sugar, Flour, and Vanilla: Blend in the powdered sugar, brown sugar, heat-treated all-purpose flour, and vanilla bean paste until fully incorporated and the dip has a uniform texture.
  3. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Using a wooden spoon, gently fold in the semi-sweet mini chocolate chips to evenly distribute them without breaking.
  4. Chill the Dip: Transfer the dip to a serving container and refrigerate until ready to serve, allowing the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
  5. Serve: Serve the Buckeye Dip chilled with a variety of dippers such as teddy grahams, graham crackers, and apple slices for a delicious and crowd-pleasing treat.

Notes

  • The all-purpose flour is heat-treated in the microwave to eliminate any risk of consuming raw flour.
  • Soften the cream cheese and butter to room temperature to help with smooth mixing.
  • For a different texture, you can substitute crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Adjust sweetness by reducing or increasing powdered sugar according to taste.
