Tips for the Best Hot Chocolate Dip
Light, creamy, and oh-so-dreamy, this dip is like a spoonful of winter magic! And it’s so ridiculously easy. Still, I have a few tips to keep in mind.
- Room temperature is key. For easier mixing and a smoother texture, use room-temperature Cool Whip and marshmallow fluff.
- Don’t overmix! Mix just until the dip is fully combined. This will help maintain the light texture.
- Select your sweetness. Start with one packet of hot chocolate mix and add more as needed.
- Let it chill. Refrigerate the dip for 20–30 minutes after mixing. This enhances the flavors and thickens the texture slightly.
- Switch up the dippers. Pair with animal crackers, graham crackers, pretzels, strawberries, apple slices, vanilla wafers, or shortbread cookies.
- Add a tasty twist. Add a teaspoon of instant espresso powder, a dash of cinnamon, or mix in mini chocolate chips. Yum!
- Get creative! Aside from marshmallows, you can also sprinkle crushed candy canes, chocolate shavings, or cocoa powder on top.
How to Store
I recommend letting the chilled dip sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving. That way, it has the best creamy texture.
To Store: Place the dip in an air-tight container or cover the serving bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for up to 4 days.
