# Ingredients:

→ Creamy Base

01 - Full-Fat Cream Cheese (8 oz), softened
02 - Powdered Sugar (1/2 cup), sifted
03 - Vanilla Extract (1 tsp)

→ Flavor & Toppings

04 - Caramel Sauce (1 cup)
05 - Snickers Bars (4 fun-size or 2 regular), chopped
06 - Roasted Salted Peanuts (1/4 cup), optional

→ For Dipping

07 - Crisp Apples (3-4, Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji), sliced

# Instructions:

01 - First things first, get that cream cheese softened. Seriously, don't rush this. I've tried to beat cold cream cheese before, and you just end up with lumps and a tired arm. Toss it in a big bowl, then add your powdered sugar and a splash of vanilla. Beat it until it's light and fluffy, like a cloud. You want it smooth, no grainy bits for our Snickers Caramel Apple Dip.
02 - Now for the good stuff! Gently fold in about half of your caramel sauce. You want streaks, not a fully mixed-in mess. It makes each bite a little surprise. I once got a bit too eager and overmixed, and the visual appeal was... not as pretty. Just be gentle, like you're tucking it into bed, letting those flavors mingle.
03 - Time to get those Snickers bars chopped! I like a mix of small pieces and some slightly bigger chunks for texture. This is where you might 'accidentally' eat a piece or two – it's allowed! I usually pop them in the fridge for a few minutes before chopping; it makes them less sticky and easier to manage, trust me on this one.
04 - Pour your creamy base into a serving dish. Something wide and shallow works best for dipping. Then, drizzle the remaining caramel sauce over the top. Make it look pretty, swirly, artistic! This is where the magic really starts for our Snickers Caramel Apple Dip, making it look as good as it tastes.
05 - Sprinkle those chopped Snickers bars generously over the caramel. Don't be shy! Then, add your roasted peanuts for that extra crunch and salty kick. I sometimes add a few extra chocolate drizzles here if I'm feeling fancy, but it's totally optional. Look at it, smelling like sweet caramel and chocolate already, pure bliss!
06 - Pop this glorious Snickers Caramel Apple Dip into the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This lets all those flavors meld together and firms it up a bit. While it chills, slice up your favorite crisp apples. Granny Smith and Honeycrisp are my go-tos. Then, just gather your people and dig in! It's truly that simple, honestly.

# Notes:

01 - Always make sure your cream cheese is at room temp, or you'll have lumps. Trust me, I've been there!
02 - This dip keeps well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Just slice apples fresh when serving.
03 - Ran out of Snickers once and used chopped Milky Ways. It was okay, but the peanut crunch was missed.
04 - A sprinkle of flaky sea salt right before serving really elevates the caramel flavor. Don't skip it!
