• 1 cup chopped pecans (divided)
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (divided)
• 1/3 cup caramel dip
• 1/3 cup chocolate syrup

Directions :

• In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and powdered sugar, then mix until smooth.
• Fold in the thawed whipped topping, then mix in ¾ cup of chopped pecans and ¾ cup mini chocolate chips. Transfer the dip to a 9-inch pie plate and spread it into an even layer.

how to serve Turtle Cheesecake Dip

• Serve with graham crackers, pretzels, apple slices, or Nilla wafers.
• Place a small spoon or spreader near the plate.
• Keep napkins handy — it is a little sticky from the caramel.

how to store Turtle Cheesecake Dip

• Cover the pie plate tightly with plastic wrap or put the dip in an airtight container.
• Keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• If you plan to store longer, freeze in a sealed container for up to 1 month; thaw in the fridge before serving.

tips to make Turtle Cheesecake Dip

• Let cream cheese sit at room temperature 20–30 minutes to soften.
• Thaw whipped topping in the fridge overnight or on the counter until soft.
• Warm caramel only a few seconds so it drizzles; do not overheat.
• Chop pecans small so they mix and top nicely.
• Use a pie plate or shallow bowl so the dip spreads well.

variation (if any)

• Use walnuts instead of pecans.
• Swap semi-sweet chips for milk chocolate or mini chocolate chips.
• Add a splash of vanilla or a pinch of salt to the cream cheese mix.
• Make individual servings in small cups for parties.
