Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of Ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
18.3 ounces brownie mix
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Directions

I start by placing the room-temperature cream cheese in a mixing bowl and beating it until smooth and fluffy. I slowly add the brownie mix and continue mixing until fully combined. Next, I pour in the milk and mix again until the dip becomes creamy and spreadable. I finish by folding in the mini chocolate chips, making sure they’re evenly distributed. Once everything is mixed, I chill the dip briefly or serve it right away with my favorite dippers.

Variations

I sometimes mix in chopped walnuts or pecans when I want added texture. For an extra chocolate boost, I like stirring in a tablespoon of cocoa powder. If I’m feeling adventurous, I swap part of the milk for heavy cream to make the dip even richer.

Storage/Reheating

I store this dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When I’m ready to serve it again, I let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes and give it a quick stir. I don’t reheat it, since it’s best enjoyed chilled or slightly softened.
