Why You’ll Love This Recipe…
- No-bake means no fuss. This is one of those truly no-fail recipes that’s nearly impossible to mess up. Seriously, if you can stir, you can make this dip. I don’t even think Amelia Bedelia could mess it up (I love those books).
- It’s Butterfingers in creamy, dippable form. You have that crispy, crunchy chocolate peanut butter bite mixed in with whipped topping and sweetened, tangy cream cheese. It’s so good!
- It’s perfect for parties! Just put out a bowl of this dip and serve it with nilla wafers, pretzels, graham crackers and fruit, and watch it disappear. My prediction is you’ll need to make a double batch.
- You can make it ahead. If you’re prepping for a party, you have no time to waste. Make it the night before, refrigerate, and set it out when it’s party time.
- Make it your own! Want more candy pieces? Add more candy. Go nuts. Like, literally add nuts if you want.

Storage
Before storing, cover it with plastic wrap or transfer it to an air-tight container. You can keep it in the fridge for up to three days. Give it a quick stir before serving.
