Tips and Tricks
Make in advance. This dip can be made 2 days ahead of time and kept in the fridge. Just wait to add the sprinkles until ready to serve.
Decorating. Top with red hearts right before serving to prevent color from the sprinkles bleeding into the dip.
Food coloring. Slowly add the food coloring until it is the desired shade of green. If you add too much at once, the color might be too dark or bold.
Serving and Storing
Serving. Serve this Grinch dip with an assortment of pretzels, crackers, Oreos, Nilla wafers, graham crackers, and/or fruit (like strawberries, pineapple, apple slices, or grapes) to dip. Christmas cookies like cut out sugar cookies or gingersnaps would also be great!
Storing. This dessert dip can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Give it a good stir before serving. I don’t recommend freezing this dip.
