Mini Egg Easter Dip

aurorahlinaLeave a comment

I’ve seen many versions of this dip going around, and created one of my own that I know you will enjoy. Need a treat that is so full of sugary goodness it will be a once a year tradition? This is the perfect dip for you, on Easter! Cadbury mini eggs are by far the best chocolate out there, but made into a dip for fruit and graham crackers takes it up a notch. This is a great treat to put out with your appies or dessert on Easter weekend.

Mini Egg Easter Dip

  • 1 cup cream cheese
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon artificial vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Cadbury mini eggs – crushed
  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • 1 ¾ cups cool whip
  • Sprinkles (optional)
  • Strawberries
  • Graham crackers

How to

  1. Put cream cheese and sugars in a mixer and combine until whipped, then mix in vanilla.
  2. Add in the mini eggs and chocolate chips.
  3. Fold in the cool whip.
  4. Put into a large bowl, and decorate with colourful sprinkles on top if desired and a few mini eggs.
  5. Dip strawberries and graham crackers into dip, and enjoy!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Anyone else have a sweet tooth like me? You can’t go wrong with a classic chocolate chip cookie and a big glass of milk … the smell alone brings a smile to everyone in the home. These are extra soft, chewy, and use two different sizes of chocolate chips.  I’ll be keeping my recipe intros short and sweet (hehe), because I know I’m not alone, when it comes to not liking to scroll down a long wordy post before I get to the recipe, so here you go! Enjoy.

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons artificial vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (I did 1 cup big chips and ½ cup mini chips)

How to:

  1. Heat oven to 350 F and prepare two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together the first 3 ingredients, set aside.
  3. Using a mixer, cream together butter and sugar. Then add in the eggs and vanilla.
  4. Slowly add in the flour mixture until combined, it will form a chunky sticky dough.
  5. Add in the chocolate chips until blended.
  6. Roll dough into 2 tbsp sized balls and slightly flatten between your palms, and place on prepared cookie sheet.
  7. Bake in oven until slightly golden brown, do not over cook, for about 12 minutes.
  8. Let cool, poor a big glass of milk, and enjoy!
