Ingredients

• 1 (8-ounce) container whipped topping, thawed
• 1/2 cup marshmallow creme
• 1/3 cup hot chocolate mix
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (optional)
• Mini marshmallows and chocolate chips for garnish (optional)

Directions

1. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer (or a whisk for a more arm workout!), beat together the thawed whipped topping and marshmallow creme until smooth and creamy.
2. Sift in the hot chocolate mix and continue beating until fully incorporated. If using, add the vanilla extract for an extra flavor boost.
3. Transfer the dip to a serving dish and garnish with mini marshmallows and chocolate chips, if desired.
4. Serve chilled with your favorite dippers like graham crackers, cookies, pretzels, or even fresh fruit slices.
5. Tips:
6. For a richer flavor, use homemade whipped cream instead of store-bought.
7. If the dip seems too thick, add a tablespoon or two of milk to achieve your desired consistency.
8. Get creative with your toppings! Try chopped nuts, sprinkles, or even crumbled candy canes for a festive touch.
9. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
