Dip Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) block cream cheese, softened
4 (1.38 ounce) packets hot cocoa mix
4 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
2 tablespoons marshmallow bits
2 tablespoons sprinkles

Instructions

Beat cream cheese: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
Add hot cocoa mix: Gradually add the hot cocoa mix packets to the cream cheese and continue beating until the mixture is well combined and uniformly chocolatey.
Fold in Cool Whip: Using a rubber spatula, carefully fold the thawed Cool Whip into the cocoa mixture. Take care not to deflate the Cool Whip too much to keep the dip light and fluffy.
Transfer and top: Transfer the finished dip to a serving bowl and evenly sprinkle the top with marshmallow bits and sprinkles to add texture and festive color.
Serve: Serve the hot cocoa dip with an assortment of dippers such as graham crackers, cookies, or fresh fruit for a delicious and fun dessert experience.
