Instructions

Beat Cream Cheese and Peanut Butter: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and peanut butter together until smooth and creamy.
Add Vanilla and Powdered Sugar: Add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar to the bowl. Start mixing on low speed with the hand mixer to avoid a mess, then increase to medium speed and mix until fully combined and smooth.
Fold in Whipped Topping: Using a spatula, gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, creating a smooth, airy texture.
Mix in Chocolate Chips: Stir in the mini chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dip.
Transfer and Smooth: Transfer the prepared dip into a serving bowl and smooth the top with a spatula for an attractive presentation.
Serve Immediately: Serve the dip right away with pretzels, graham crackers, apple slices, Nilla Wafers, or strawberries for dipping.
Store if Needed: If not serving immediately, cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Bring to Room Temperature: Before serving refrigerated dip, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly for easier dipping.

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese and whipped topping are softened or at room temperature for easier mixing and smooth texture.
This dip is best enjoyed within 2-3 days when stored covered in the refrigerator.
Try different dippers like pretzels, graham crackers, apple slices, Nilla Wafers, or strawberries for variety.
To make it slightly thicker, you can chill it longer before serving.
For a nut-free variation, consider substituting peanut butter with sunflower seed butter.
