Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake Dip

Tweet

Welcome to the February Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop! The purpose of this hop is to motivate us to not just hoard pins, but to make it happen! 
I was looking to make something I could serve at a party such as a viewing party for The Final Four! I went searching for dessert dips, and after drooling for a few minutes over all the fabulous recipes, I came upon a post from Amanda, blogger and owner of The Chunky Chef. Her Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake Dip was exactly what I was looking for! Amanda's recipe was so easy to follow and I loved it. Doesn't it look fantastic!?

I made a few simple changes to the recipe. I added salt because I wanted to tone down the sweetness just a bit, and I added chopped peanuts, because I knew my guests would love the peanut bite in this dip, and they fit right in to the recipe with the peanut butter and chocolate!  I also changed the peanut butter cups to the mini size. I will definitely make this dip again and again.
