This Buckeye Dip is the perfect sweet and creamy dip with a peanut butter base and a chocolate drizzle. It’s easy to make, and it’s great for dipping fruits, pretzels, or even as a spread on crackers.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (natural or reduced-fat)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (or a WW-friendly sweetener like Stevia or Monk Fruit)
  • 1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt (for creaminess)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (optional for topping)
  • A pinch of salt (optional, to balance sweetness)

Instructions:

  1. Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt (if using). Use an electric mixer or a whisk to blend everything together until smooth and creamy.
  2. Chill (Optional): For the best texture, cover the dip and chill it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together.
  3. Top with Chocolate: Before serving, sprinkle the mini chocolate chips over the top of the dip for a touch of chocolate flavor. You can also drizzle melted chocolate on top for an extra indulgent treat (just be mindful of the points if you do).
  4. Serve & Enjoy: Serve with fruit (like apple slices or banana chunks), pretzels, graham crackers, or even some vegetables for a fun twist! Enjoy!

WW Points (Approximate):

  • SmartPoints: This Buckeye Dip is about 3-4 SmartPoints per serving (about 2 tablespoons), depending on the ingredients used, such as the type of peanut butter and sweetener. The mini chocolate chips will add a point or two, so use them sparingly or opt for a lighter drizzle.

Pro Tips:

  • Lower Points: To reduce points, you can use a lighter peanut butter (like PB2 or powdered peanut butter), and swap the powdered sugar for a sugar-free sweetener.
  • Customization: If you prefer more chocolate, you can melt a little dark chocolate and drizzle it on top for a richer, decadent look. Just remember to account for the extra points if you go that route.
  • Storage: The dip can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just give it a quick stir before serving again.

This Buckeye Dip is the perfect dessert dip that brings all the flavors of the classic Buckeye candy, without all the hassle. It’s rich, creamy, and absolutely irresistible while staying relatively light and WW-friendly.
