Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip

So, we’ve added a new show into the mix – Once upon a Time.  Have you seen it?  My husband actually got me on it.  He started watching old episodes one day on his iPad when he was bored.  Soon he was hooked, and of course I had to jump in.  And now I’m hooked.  

It’s basically a show about the old fairytales – Snow White, Cinderella, Red Riding Hood.  Except its based on the Grimm versions.  So it’s very dramatic, but also has romance going on.  {Have you seen Lost? It’s from the writers/producer of that}.  You should watch it.  It’s a really good show.  It now one of our favorites!

We’ll I can tell you right now I’m doing two of my things, watching Once upon a Time and writing this blog post.  I couldn’t choose between the two, so I’m just doing both at once :).

This dip is unlike anything I’ve ever had.  It’s a Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip – A dip that tastes like Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.  The base ingredient is cream cheese.  Added with butter, sugar, and chocolate chips, this dip is simple, easy, and really does remind you cookie dough.  

Dip graham crackers, marshmallows, fruit, cookies, or really anything else into this chocolate chip cookie dough dip, and you’ve got a sweet treat.  Enjoy!
