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.

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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
hugs from here...
Lovely dip dear Barbara! gloria
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing treat! that dip looks ever so luscious and it is a perfect way to indulge while eating healthy fruits.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Rosa
Oh - convince me!!! Should I make this, or not? Hmmmm? It looks so delicious and I adore caramel - it definitely IS the season - and, it is not so hard - at least it looks pretty easy!
ReplyDeleteYUM!

Thanks for sharing:)
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteLove this! Sure beats eating messy caramel apples. Great photo Barbara.
ReplyDeleteThat's right up the Knight's alley. I might whip it up for him...
ReplyDeleteOh yum! This sounds so easy and SO good!
ReplyDeleteBarbara, this is a gorgeous dip for the holidays. The only problem is I would probably finish it before serving it :)
ReplyDeleteAn "easy to eat" caramel apple is so much nicer than one on a stick! I actually have all of the ingredients for this- yay! :)
ReplyDeleteCouldn't resist - sweetness and happiness!
ReplyDeleteThis really sounds delicious and you've made it so easy to make that there is no reason not to enjoy it often. Have a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteYummie Barbara! What an easy & lovely spread aka dip!
ReplyDeleteLovely too! :)
What a joy it would be to spend the holidays at your house Barbara with a kitchen full of goodies like this dip. Thanks too for the cranberry upside down cake recipe - it looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteNow, I could dip into this all day! The dip sounds like a nice excuse to have an apple! :-)
ReplyDeleteMy grandchildren would love this dip. What a delicious way to get them to eat more apples. Sometimes the simple recipes are the best.
ReplyDeleteLooks Great! I love a simple snack like this. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteWorking as many hours as I am at the moment I am looking for quick and delicious!!!!
ReplyDeletewhat a fantastic treat! i love that it's paired with apples, wonderful for fall!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great recipe to keep in the back pocket for entertaining. I love the combination of caramel and green apples.
ReplyDeleteHi Barbara,
ReplyDeleteI have just eaten an apple and would have been even nicer dipped in caramel.
Have a great week
Hugs

This sounds like the perfect end to a decadent holiday meal! You get to have some fruit with a touch of something sweet and delicious.
ReplyDeleteOh, 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!
ReplyDeletecaramel apples are one of my favorite things... my only complaint is not enough caramel per bite. This would solve the problem beautifully!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking at this and thinking of all the apples I've been getting from my CSA. They'll be gone in no time!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious dip this is! It would even be a fun thing to include on a buffet table of appetizers for Thanksgiving...thanks for sharing, Barbara!
ReplyDeleteWhoa, what timing. I have some Granny Smiths, and I was going to dip them in caramel tonight. But this looks a lot more simple and so delicious. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow, this dip sounds and looks delicious, will need to buy more apples :-)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week ahead Barbara!
I really want some of this dip! It would be perfect at the Thanksgiving dessert table!
ReplyDeleteI want to eat the whole bowl!
ReplyDeleteThis looks wonderful. Perfect for the holidays!
ReplyDeleteI have a friend that makes a similar dip and it's to die for good. But I love your addition oftoffee bits. I'll try this soon .
ReplyDeletemmm, toffee bits. i'm pretty sure i'd be forced to use an entire bag of those little delights... :)
