Caramel Apple Toffee Fruit Dip


This was such a super find! Don't you love recipes like this during the busy holidays? Ridiculously simple and quick to make, unusual and with a delicious fall flavor. Our Best Bites suggested it for Halloween and put it into hollowed out baby pumpkins. They made some adorable little Halloween cookies to serve with it too. You can check it out at the link. A bit late for that (although I'm going to remember it for next year), but you could use it when you need to take a dessert someplace or when friends and family come over during the holidays. You're going to love this and good luck keeping everyone's fingers and spoons out of this when it's in the fridge.


Caramel Toffee Fruit Dip

From Our Best Bites


Ingredients:
1 8 ounce package of cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup brown sugar
1  1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 a bag of Heath toffee bits (there is only one size, find them next to the chocolate chips)



Method:

Beat cream cheese, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg until smooth.  Stir in toffee bits.  Place in a serving bowl and serve with Granny Smith apples or fruit of your choice.  This can also be pre-made and placed back in the refrigerator, it will not stiffen up.

  1. YUM! Now this would be a hit with my grands. Every time they visit they ask if I have bought their favorite apples. They would love this dip.
    I will be looking forward to more of your wonderful holiday offerings this season Barbara.
    Can you even believe it is that time of year already? Crazy how fast this year flew by. I wish you a wonderful weekend.

  5. I can just taste the tart juicy green apples with that dip, and coincidentally I just bought those Heath bits not knowing what the heck I was going to do with them...you just saved me from snacking on the whole bag.

  10. An "easy to eat" caramel apple is so much nicer than one on a stick! I actually have all of the ingredients for this- yay! :)

  23. Oh, delicious and so much easier than whipping up an apple pie. I always used to have caramel for dipping apples in the fall when my girls still lived at home. They would love this!

  24. caramel apples are one of my favorite things... my only complaint is not enough caramel per bite. This would solve the problem beautifully!

  25. I'm looking at this and thinking of all the apples I've been getting from my CSA. They'll be gone in no time!
