Creamy, peanut buttery, and filled with nibbles of peanut butter cups and chocolate chips, this peanut butter cookie dough dip is delicious.

I happen to think sweet dipsslashappetizers are brilliant. I mean, salsas and bean dips and spinach artichoke dips are everywhere, right? Every party. Always the same.

But sweet dips? They are so where it’s at or at least where I’m at. Yep, that’s me. Hunkered over the sweet dip at the party hoarding it to myself and showing off my awesome social skills.

It was just a matter of time before I figured out a version for peanut butter cookie dough.

I realize not everyone has peanut butter cookie dough on the brain but I’ll forgive you; we can still be friends, especially because this dip is so incredibly tasty.

Creamy, lightly peanut buttery, sweet and filled with nibbles of peanut butter cups and chocolate chips, this dip is highly delicious.

And here’s the deal (no scoffing, please), if you make this with light cream cheese and adhere to the 12 mini peanut butter cups (instead of throwing in the whole bag which I wasn’t tempted to do at all, uh-uh, not me, no never), it really isn’t that bad for you.

Now I’m not calling it health food so please, no hate mail, but you could get all crazy and dip apples in it for Pete’s sake, if that helps rationalize the making of it.

One of the boys’ favorite after-school snacks is apple slices dipped in peanut butter. This isn’t so different, right?

Right. So glad we had this talk. Happy weekend!
