Instructions

Beat Cream Cheese and Peanut Butter: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy.
Add Vanilla and Powdered Sugar: Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar to the bowl. Start mixing on low speed with the hand mixer to avoid a mess, then increase to medium speed and mix until fully combined and smooth.
Fold in Whipped Topping: Using a spatula, gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Mix in Chocolate Chips: Stir in the mini chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dip.
Transfer and Smooth: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and smooth the top with a spatula.
Serve Immediately: Serve immediately with pretzels, graham crackers, apple slices, Nilla Wafers, or strawberries for dipping.
Store if Needed: If not serving right away, cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Soften Before Serving: Before serving, let the dip sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly for easier dipping.

Notes

For best results, use fully softened cream cheese to ensure a smooth, creamy dip.
You can substitute mini chocolate chips with chopped peanut butter cups for extra indulgence.
Keep the dip refrigerated if not serving immediately, but allow it to warm slightly before serving to enhance flavor and texture.
This dip pairs well with a variety of dippers including pretzels, graham crackers, fresh fruit, and vanilla wafers.
To make it vegan, substitute cream cheese and whipped topping with plant-based alternatives.
