👩‍🍳 How to Make Buckeye Dip – Step by Step

Step 1 – Make the Peanut Butter Base

  1. In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth.

  2. Add the peanut butter and mix until fully combined.

  3. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, mixing again until creamy.

  4. Fold in the whipped topping until light and fluffy.

  5. Stir in mini chocolate chips if desired.

  6. Spread this mixture evenly into a shallow serving bowl.


Step 2 – Prepare the Chocolate Layer

  1. Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil (or butter) in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

  2. Allow the chocolate to cool slightly so it doesn’t melt the peanut butter layer.

  3. Pour the chocolate gently over the peanut butter base and spread evenly.
