Dip Ingredients
- 1 (11 oz) bag caramel squares (about 40), unwrapped
- ¾ cup (177ml) heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup (134g) creamy peanut butter (not natural)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the unwrapped caramel squares, heavy whipping cream, and creamy peanut butter to a medium saucepan.
- Heat and Stir: Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring continuously for about 8-10 minutes until the caramel squares melt completely and blend smoothly into the cream and peanut butter, forming a creamy dip.
- Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and serve warm or at room temperature with sliced apples, graham crackers, or pretzels for dipping.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator; reheat gently before serving if desired.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for best texture; avoid natural brands that separate.
- Stir constantly while heating to prevent burning the caramel.
- This dip pairs wonderfully with a variety of dippers beyond apples, such as pretzels, biscotti, or vanilla wafers.
- Reheat leftovers gently on low heat or in short bursts in the microwave to maintain smooth texture.
