- It’s easy – just 4 ingredients!

🛒 Ingredient Notes
This post contains affiliate links.
- Cream Cheese (Have the cream cheese at room temperature for best results. It’s hard to blend cream cheese that’s still cold from the refrigerator.)
- Whipped Topping (I prefer Cool Whip brand, but others work just as well. Or you could be really indulgent and use freshly made sweetened whipped cream.)
- Vanilla Extract (Use a quality brand for best flavor.)
- Snickers Candy Bars (Three full-sized bars (1.86 ounces each) are needed for the recipe.)
The complete ingredient list with detailed measurements is included in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.
🥄How to Make Snickers Dip
- In a large bowl, add the cream cheese, whipped topping, and vanilla extract.
- Use an electric mixer to beat together until smooth and fluffy.
- Chop the Snickers bars into small, bite-sized pieces.
- Gently fold the chopped Snickers into the cream cheese and whipped topping mixture.
- Serve drizzled with caramel sauce (optional).
❗Tips
- Refrigerate the Snickers bars for at least one hour before chopping. Chilling will make the bars firmer and easier to cut.
- Be sure to have the cream cheese at room temperature to prevent lumps when combining it with the whipped topping. Let it sit out of the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes, preferably an hour.
🔀 Variations
The cream cheese, whipped topping, and vanilla extract mixture is a great basis for making a dip of your own. Create something unique with one or more of the following ideas.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of peanut butter or tahini for a more pronounced nutty flavor.
- Add 1/4 cup of light brown sugar.
- Add 1/2 cup of plain or toasted coconut.
- Stir in 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips.
- Make any type of candy bar dip you like. Good choices are Heath bars, Milky Way, Hershey Milk Chocolate, Nestle’s Crunch, and Reese’s Cups.
- Make this into a holiday recipe by incorporating homemade peanut brittle, my Homemade Mounds Bars Candy, or Salted Butterscotch Fudge !
🍽️ How to Serve
Serve with your favorite dippers. Sliced fresh fruits or sweet and salty snacks are great. I like it with strawberries and apple slices or with pretzels, graham crackers, vanilla wafers, pirouettes, and shortbread.
Here’s a fun idea! Make a dessert board with your Snickers cream cheese dip as the feature surrounded by everything you can think of as dippers!
Or arrange your dip and dippers in a beautiful “chip and dip” server like the one below.
