Four Ingredient Funfetti Cake Batter Dip

 This is the other sweet dip I made for my friends baby shower. This one was a hit, too!

Four Ingredient Funfetti Cake Batter Dip

from the Chunky Chef

Ingredients 

8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature 

8 oz whipped topping, thawed (cool whip) 

1/3 - 2/3 cup milk, (start at 1/3 and go from there) 

1 box Funfetti cake mix, (unprepared) 

sprinkles, for garnishing

Instructions 

Heat up the cake mix before using. I recommend adding the cake mix to a microwave-safe shallow bowl and heating in 30 second increments until it reaches an internal temperature of 160-165°F.

Add whipped topping and cream cheese to a large mixing bowl and beat with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. 

Add cake mix and 1/3 cup milk and stir with a wooden spoon until combined. 

Dip will be very thick, so add more milk, a little at a time, until you get to your desired consistency. I used about 2/3 cup for my dip. 

Serve garnished with sprinkles and whatever dippers you prefer. Graham crackers, animal crackers, vanilla wafers, pretzels, fresh fruit, etc.

Brownie Batter Dip

This is one of two dips I took to a friends baby shower a few months ago. The food theme was dips, and I brought two sweet ones. They were both a hit!

Brownie Batter Dip

Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature 

18.3 ounces brownie mix 

¼ cup milk 

¼ cup mini chocolate chips 

1 cup whipped topping, thawed

Instructions

Add the dry brownie mix to a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each, for a total of 2 minutes. Set aside. 

In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese on medium-speed until smooth. 

Add the brownie mix and milk; beat until well combined and smooth. 

Gently fold in the whipped topping until completely blended. 

Fold in the chocolate chips. 

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, and top with additional mini chocolate chips, if desired. 

Serve immediately with your favorite dippers, such as pretzels, graham crackers, cookies, or fruit.

Notes 

It is important to heat treat the brownie mix before beginning so that it will be safe to consume. Please do not skip this step. 

Beating the cream cheese, brownie mix and milk together first minimizes the mixing once the whipped topping is added. This will help prevent the dip from “deflating.” 

It is important to gently fold in the whipped topping so it doesn’t deflate.

Fresh Pico de Gallo

Our neighbor brought over a huge grocery sack of tomatoes for us from his garden. I knew that I would be making some pico with them right away, because I LOVE pico de gallo!!!!! I combined a couple of recipes I found and made this. You can eat it right away, but it definitely tastes better when it has had time to chill, and the flavors have all blended together.
So yummy!!!!

Dorito Dip

 I have made this dip a few times now. It is always a big hit, and it is healthy too!!! I am a Nacho Cheese Dorito lover myself, and I never dreamed of ever dipping my Dorito in anything as I think they are the bee's knees by themselves...... BUT, this dip changed my thinking! This dip is so good that you can eat it by the spoonful (as did one of my girlfriends!!!), but the cheesy Doritos taste really good with it! This is a perfect recipe for an appetizer for a football party.....or just for your own enjoyment. I won't judge. : )
