So I am a sucker for fruit dips but haven’t found one that has chocolate in it except fondue.  Most people believe that everything is better with chocolate and if you are one of these people then you will enjoy this dip.  Even if you are not a chocolate person it is still good.  We like to dip pretzels, apples, strawberries and animal crackers.  Really anything that taste good with chocolate.

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces cream cheese, light or regular, softened to room temperature
• 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) butter, softened to room temperature
• 2 cups powdered sugar, plus more for a stiffer consistency, if needed
• 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 5 tablespoons cocoa powder, regular or Dutch-process
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2-4 tablespoons milk
• Chocolate chips for garnish (optional)
• Pretzels, strawberries, graham crackers, animal crackers, apples for dipping

Directions:

In a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer or in the bowl of an electric stand mixer, whip together the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Add 2 cups of the powdered sugar. Mix well. Add the flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, vanilla and 2 tablespoons milk. Mix until fluffy and smooth. Add additional powdered sugar and/or milk, if needed, until desired consistency is reached. The dip should be soft enough to easily dip a pretzel in (without breaking the pretzel!) but not so soft that it spreads out instead of holding it’s shape in a fluffy cloud of brownie batter goodness. Garnish with chocolate chips, if desired.
