WHAT YOU NEED-
- Cream Cheese– You can use either classic or light cream cheese for this dip. This gives you the creamy base.
- Yogurt– Either plain regular or Greek yogurt can be used. I like to use plain Greek yogurt. You can skip the sweetener and use vanilla or honey flavored yogurt.
- Sugar– To sweeten this dip, this recipe calls for brown sugar. You can use any sweetener you prefer, like granulated sugar, powdered sugar, or honey.
- Vanilla– Adding vanilla extract gives extra flavors to this dish!
- Caramel– For the topping in this dip, you want to use a good quality caramel dip that is thick, like popular Marzetti caramel dip. If you don’t mind using thin caramel, you can use caramel sauce.
