Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup marshmallow fluff
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup red sprinkles
  • 1/4 cup green sprinkles
  • 1/2 cup Chow Mein Noodles Optional
  • 3 tablespoons mini chocolate chips Optional

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, marshmallow fluff, and maple syrup. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until everything is well combined and fluffy. You want a light and airy texture, so don’t rush this step.
  2. Next, gently fold in the mini marshmallows, red sprinkles, and green sprinkles. This is where the fun begins! You’ll see those vibrant colors bring life to your dip.
  3. If you’re feeling adventurous, take a large plate or shallow bowl and arrange the Chow Mein Noodles around the edge. This acts as a base for the dip and adds a wonderful crunch.
  4. Now, place the fluffy dip mixture right in the center of the plate. Make sure it’s nicely shaped; you want it to look appealing!
  5. Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips on top or around the dip for an extra touch of sweetness. They’ll melt in your mouth when you dip!
  6. Now, cover the dip with plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for about an hour. This helps the flavors meld beautifully and makes it even more enjoyable.
  7. Once chilled, remove the dip from the fridge, and it’s ready to serve. Bring it out to your gathering and watch everyone dive in!
  8. Enjoy with an assortment of dippers like cookies, pretzels, or fresh fruit. The creamy dip with the crunchy dippers is an irresistible combination.
  9. Don’t forget to take a moment and appreciate the smiles around the table. This is what the holidays are all about!

Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It’s best enjoyed within two days, but it will last for up to three days.
  • Freezing: While I wouldn't recommend freezing the dip due to its creamy texture, you can freeze any leftover individual components like the sprinkles for future use.
  • Pairing: This dip pairs wonderfully with gingerbread cookies or graham crackers. Don’t shy away from serving it with fresh fruit for a healthier option!
  • Variations: Get creative! Try adding some crushed peppermint candies for a holiday twist or even swap in different flavored fluff for a unique taste.
  • Presentation: Consider serving it in a festive bowl or adding themed decorations around the serving area to enhance the holiday spirit.
