Apple Toffee Dip



 UPDATED October 2017:  So this is an updated picture for this recipe, it is by far the most popular and most pinned recipe on my blog.  Hope you enjoy!

I made this recipes a while back for a party then came across is again the other day when trying to figure out a menu for a baby shower! I got my friend Julie to whip it up and instead of just the toffee pieces they crushed real heath bars so it had chocolate too and I think it made it a lot better. It was amazing, I could have eaten it with a spoon!

2 8oz cream cheese
3/4 cups brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1-1 1/2 cups heath toffee bits (or crushed heath bars)

Mix everything together and serve with apple slices!

  8. Can you clarify the cream cheese amount?
    two 8oz pkgs of cream cheese?
    is the "2" a typo, should it be one 8oz pkg of cream cheese?

    Thanks

  15. I could not find heath bars ANYWHERE in our stores today even though I'm absolutely positive I've seen them in Rite Aids around here before.. got hershey nuggets (the ones with almonds and toffee inside) so here's to hoping it turns out as great!

    2. You can usually find toffee bits and heath bits in the bakery section with the chocolate chips.

  17. Does the cream cheese need to be softened first? Making this for our thanksgiving party! Can't wait :))

    1. You don't have to but it will help for sure. I use and electric mixer when I make it but softening the cream cheese will help make it more smooth.

  18. Sounds good! Think I might replace one cream cheese for some marshmellow fluff or cool whip for a lighter texture, can't wait to try?

    1. did it work out using the marshmallow creme. Sounded like a very good idea and thought I might do that.

  20. This is about the most delicious dip I have ever had. Made it for New Years 2012 and guests were eating it with a spoon. Thanks for posting. If you have not made this, DO IT! Easy and amazing!

  21. Awesome! I hardly ever try this kind of sweet stuff...but THIS is a keeper! Even the boyfriend liked it.

  22. I've been making this for years. I post it on FB every fall, but nobody has ever made it and told me how much they enjoyed it (their loss). Your family named it Crack Dip for a reason. IT IS ADDICTING! And yes, I HAVE eaten it by the spoonful! I think everyone that stumbled upon this recipe should at least try it. You'll be hooked! You don't have to stop at apples. Let your imagination be your guide!
    GREAT POST!!
