Taste of Toffee Dessert Dip

It's that time of year again.  I'm sure you have plenty of gatherings and parties for family and friends where you are expected to bring a "little something."  This recipe was born for one such occasion by randomly combining ingredients I already had because going to the grocery store with a toddler is not so fun.  I was really nervous about how it was going to turn out, but everyone kept asking me where I got the recipe.  I'd say that, combined with the fact that I brought home an empty dish, is proof that my experiment was a success!

As usual, it's an easy recipe if you'd like to give it a try.

Ingredients:

• 1/4 of packed brown sugar
• 8 oz. lite cool whip
• 8 oz. softened lite cream cheese
• 1 package of Heath chips (available in the baking aisle)
• pretzels or graham crackers for dipping

Combine all ingredients (I used my Kitchen Aid stand mixer).  Spread in pie plate or glass dish and surround with pretzels or graham crackers for dipping.

The crunchy toffee bits mixed with the creamy texture is a great combo with the salty pretzels.  I love the salty and sweet tastes together, but I included graham crackers too for the people that are sweet lovers. 

As the dip sat out for a little bit, the toffee bits melted and started to look like a toffee drizzle.   MMMM!!

Easier Than I Thought!
