For Serving

Ingredient Notes

• Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest texture.
• Heat-treat the oats before using if you prefer an extra level of food safety for no-bake recipes.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Troubleshooting and Pro Tips

• Allow the cream cheese and butter to soften completely for the smoothest texture.
• Chill the dip before serving so it becomes thick and scoopable.
• Stir gently when adding the candy-coated chocolates to keep their colorful shells intact.
