Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Cream cheese, softened
Creamy peanut butter
Brownie mix (heat-treated if necessary)
Powdered sugar
Vanilla extract
Milk or cream (to thin, as needed)
Mini chocolate chips (optional, for topping)
Optional dippers: pretzels, graham crackers, strawberries, apple slices, marshmallows

Directions

I start by beating the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
I mix in the peanut butter and vanilla extract, blending until creamy.
I add the brownie mix and powdered sugar, stirring until everything is well combined and thick.
I add a splash of milk or cream, a little at a time, until I reach a smooth, dip-like consistency.
I transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top for extra texture.
I serve it immediately with my favorite dippers or chill it in the fridge for 20–30 minutes to firm it up slightly before serving.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 2 cups of dip, enough for 6 to 8 people. It takes just 10 minutes to put together, making it one of the quickest desserts I’ve ever made.

Variations

Sometimes I swirl in a spoonful of Nutella or top it with crushed peanut butter cups for a more decadent treat. For a lighter version, I use Greek yogurt in place of some cream cheese. I’ve also added a dash of cinnamon or espresso powder to deepen the chocolate flavor. And when I’m feeling festive, I mix in colorful sprinkles for a fun twist.

storage/reheating

I store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Before serving again, I let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften. It’s not a dip I reheat—it’s best enjoyed chilled or at room temp. If it thickens too much in the fridge, I just stir in a splash of milk to loosen it. Peanut Butter Brownie Batter Dip

FAQs

Do I need to bake the brownie mix?

If I’m using traditional boxed brownie mix, I make sure it’s heat-treated to kill any bacteria. Some mixes are safe to eat raw, but if not, I bake the dry mix on a baking sheet at 300°F for 5–10 minutes and let it cool before using.

Can I make this dip ahead of time?

Yes, I often make it a few hours in advance and store it in the fridge. I just give it a quick stir before serving.

Can I use crunchy peanut butter?

Yes, if I want more texture, I go for crunchy peanut butter. It adds a nice bit of crunch to each bite.

What if the dip is too thick?

I simply add a little milk or cream, one tablespoon at a time, until I get the smoothness I want.

What are the best dippers for this?

I love using pretzels, graham crackers, vanilla wafers, apple slices, or even strawberries. Marshmallows and biscotti are fun too!

Conclusion

Peanut Butter Brownie Batter Dip is everything I want in a quick, decadent dessert—rich, chocolatey, creamy, and totally irresistible. I love how easy it is to make and how it turns simple ingredients into something that feels special. Whether I’m hosting, celebrating, or just craving a chocolate-peanut butter fix, this dip always delivers.
