Candies such as Heath Bits, Reese&#8217;s Pieces and chopped Andes Chocolate Mints would add more sweet flavors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use a different extract:<\/strong> Try using peppermint extract instead of vanilla to create a peppermint-chocolate brownie batter dip. Use only half the amount called for, since peppermint extract has a stronger flavor than vanilla extract.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add peanut butter:<\/strong> Lovers of peanut butter, beat some peanut butter into the cream cheese mixture for a newfound <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/peanut-butter-and-chocolate-desserts\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/peanut-butter-and-chocolate-desserts\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">chocolate-peanut butter dessert<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Brownie Batter Dip<\/h2>\n<p>Keep brownie batter dip in an airtight container in the fridge, where it will last for four to five days.<\/p>\n<h2>Can you freeze brownie batter dip?<\/h2>\n<p>While you technically can freeze cream cheese, we wouldn&#8217;t recommend it for a recipe like brownie batter dip. Frozen cream cheese can become gritty and grainy once it&#8217;s thawed, and for a recipe like this one where part of the appeal is the smooth, creamy texture, freezing isn&#8217;t worth the risk (especially when the recipe takes just minutes to assemble in the first place).<\/p>\n<h2>Can you make brownie batter dip ahead of time?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes, brownie batter dip keeps well in the fridge, so you can make it a day ahead of time to save yourself a few minutes before your guests arrive. If you want to store it directly in the serving bowl, cover it with plastic wrap. Otherwise, keep it in an airtight container, and transfer to a pretty serving bowl when the time comes.<\/p>\n<h2>Brownie Batter Dip Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1958535\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Brownie-Batter-Dip_FT24_186692_ST_0119_4_SSedit.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Brownie Batter Dip Ft24 186692 St 0119 4 Ssedit\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Why is the brownie batter dip lumpy?<\/h3>\n<p>Letting both the cream cheese and the butter soften and come to room temperature before beating is key to making sure that your brownie batter dip is smooth. Beyond that, sifting the dry ingredients before adding them to the cream cheese mixture is a second step you can take to ensure a creamy consistency.<\/p>\n<h3>What do you serve with brownie batter dip?<\/h3>\n<p>Brownie batter dip pairs well with all sorts of dippers. If you want to go the &#8220;healthy&#8221; route, try apple slices or whole strawberries. Otherwise, graham crackers, pretzel crisps, animal crackers, Nilla wafers, cinnamon-sugar pita chips, wafer cookies and even Nutter Butters would be deliciously indulgent picks.<\/p>\n<p>Brownie batter dip would also be a great add to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-a-chocolate-charcuterie-board\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-a-chocolate-charcuterie-board\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">chocolate charcuterie board<\/a> or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/valentines-day-cheese-board\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/valentines-day-cheese-board\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Valentine&#8217;s Day cheese board<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our brownie batter dip gives you all the flavor and none of the bake time of true brownies.
