Brownie Batter Dip
I’m all about the sweeter side of dips, and this brownie-batter variety fits in with my life’s philosophy: Chocolate makes anything better. Grab some fruit, cookies or salty snacks and start dunking. —Mel Gunnell, Boise, Idaho

Very good. Used pretzel snaps. I’ll omit the brown sugar next time, I didn’t feel it was necessary.
This is a great dip! My favorite thing to dip in it? Strawberries, hands down. Graham crackers are also a good choice. I think it tastes best if you let the flavors blend together for a few hours or overnight.
its only 5 minutes
This was delicious. My family really likes it topped with M and M's.
Crowd loved it. Definitely needs to meld several hours for best flavor.
This is a great dip that truly tastes like brownie batter. I discovered that it set up better after being in the refrigerator overnight. We had it with pretzels and enjoyed the flavor combination.

I sifted - or whisked to blend - the cocoa powder, powdered sugar a dash of salt, and about 2 tablespoons of flour together, easier to combine without streaks of light and dark, and no problem with graininess. I always substitute plain yogurt for part of the cream cheese in dips, makes it blend better and it's healthier. Use PLAIN, not sweetened vanilla flavored yogurt.

You're correct, we removed the flour from the readers version for food safety reasons.VLMay you can use Greek yogurt or silken tofu in place of the cream cheese with acceptable results.Susan StetzelOnline Community ManagerTaste of Home Magazine
Is there something that can be substitute for the cream cheese?
