Notes
- Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but give it a good stir before serving as it can firm up a bit.
- While not meant to be reheated, if the dip is too cold straight from the fridge, let it sit at room temperature for 1015 minutes to soften slightly.
- Serve this festive dip with a variety of dippers for different textures and flavors, like apple slices, gingerbread men, or even pretzel rods.
- For an extra burst of holiday flavor, use gingerflavored sugar cookies for crushing and folding into the dip; the spice adds a lovely warmth.
