With a name like “Candy Bar Caramel Apple Dip” this recipe doesn’t even really need an introduction, does it! But I’ll give one anyway, because that’s half the fun of writing a food blog. I first had this simple yet delicious dip at a baby shower that my friend Teresa hosted a few years ago. I feel kind of bad looking back on that party because I’m pretty sure I ate 75% of the dip without sharing–definitely not my best party guest behavior! Teresa was generous enough to give me the top secret recipe after the party, and I couldn’t believe how easy it was. I probably said something like, “Shut up!” Another party guest faux pas. I look forward to apple season every year now so that I can whip it up. I’ve made it for a few get-togethers in the past few years, and it is always a huge hit. In fact, I made some Candy Bar Caramel Apple Dip just last week for a church youth group activity, and the double batch I made was practically inhaled by those teenagers. OK, I might have eaten a little too. I just can’t stop myself!
- 1 brick cream cheese, softened
- 1 16-oz tub caramel apple dip* (from the produce section)
- about 12 oz broken toffee candy bar pieces (like a Heath bar or a Skor bar)
- apple slices (This time, we used Sweet Tango apples, and oh my, were they amazing!)
- Beat softened cream cheese and caramel apple dip together in a medium bowl until smooth. Fold in broken candy bar pieces. Serve with apple slices, and try not to eat it all by yourself.

Of course I say go for it, AnnMarie! Just make sure other people are around so they eat some of it too!
I made this for our craft night on Friday! It was a huge hit!
Hey Stephanie!! A craft night with apple dip sounds just about perfect!
I made this dip this weekend!! Everyone loved it. It is so yummy! My kids wanted to eat it by the spoonful. Thank you for sharing! š
Yay, Boni! I’m so glad you liked it, and that it was a hit with your family too!
The name candy bar caramel apple dip itself is so tempting! I’m a big time fan of Canadian candy bars .
Trust me, the dip is even better than the delicious name!
Lulu, do you think it would still be good it I just used the toffee pieces from the baking aisle? I can see myself mowing this down and thought at least not having the chocolate might help…your thoughts?
Hey Mo. Yes, I think that would work and still be delicious! One of the times I made it, I had some people eating it who had nut allergies, so we left out the toffee pieces entirely, and it was still yummy!
