Dip Ingredients
- 1 (11 oz) bag caramel squares (about 40), unwrapped
- ¾ cup (177 ml) heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup (134 g) creamy peanut butter (not natural)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the unwrapped caramel squares, heavy whipping cream, and creamy peanut butter to a medium saucepan.
- Melt and Stir: Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring continuously until the caramels have fully melted and combined smoothly with the cream and peanut butter, about 8-10 minutes.
- Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and enjoy warm with apple slices, graham crackers, and/or pretzels for dipping.
- Store Leftovers: Store any leftover dip in the refrigerator and rewarm gently before serving again.
Notes
- Using a low heat prevents the caramel from burning and ensures a smooth dip.
- Make sure to stir constantly to help the caramels melt evenly.
- Use creamy peanut butter for a smoother texture; natural peanut butter may separate.
- This dip is best served warm but can be cooled and served at room temperature.
