Tips & Tricks
- You can layer this cream cheese apple dip as done in the recipe steps, but you can also just mix together the cream cheese and powdered sugar then fold in the toffee bits and serve in a bowl.
- Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before mixing. This will help you to get a smooth and lump-free mixture.
- You can use a stand mixer or a hand mixer to blend the cream cheese and powdered sugar together. If you don’t have either, you can just use a spatula or mixing spoon. It will just take a bit more work on your part.
- You can also use any crushed candy bars in place of the toffee bits. This makes it a great recipe for using up leftover Halloween candy! Some of my favorites are Snickers, M&Ms, Butterfingers, and Reese’s Pieces. It also makes a great appetizer at Halloween and Thanksgiving get togethers.
