Key Ingredients You’ll Need
Cream Cheese: You will combine this with the butter and marshmallow creme to make a thick and creamy consistency.

Add-Ins: I love adding mini marshmallows and semi-sweet chocolate chips into the dip as well as extra to add on top.
How To Make Hot Chocolate Dip
Step 1. Add the cream cheese and butter into a medium-sized mixing bowl and combine using a hand mixer or a fork, but it will take longer to mix. Add in the marshmallow creme, hot chocolate mix, and sugar into the mixture and combine until smooth. Pour in the vanilla and combine again. Add in the mini marshmallows and chocolate chips and fold to combine.
Step 2. Put the prepared mixture into a serving dish and top with additional marshmallows, chocolate chips, crushed peppermint, crushed candy cane, or hot cocoa mix. Place in the fridge until you are ready to eat. Serve and enjoy!
