The cool, minty flavor of candy cane in a creamy, dreamy dip — the perfect touch for holiday entertaining. Pairs beautifully with cookies, pretzels, and other sweet treats. Great for Christmas parties, cookie exchanges, holiday brunches, and winter dessert tables. How to make it: Blend 1 block (8 oz) softened cream cheese and 8 oz whipped topping until smooth. Add the mix and blend another minute. Refrigerate 1-2 hours before serving (longer enhances the flavor). Serve with sugar cookies, gingerbread, chocolate cookies, pretzels, or graham crackers. Top it: Sprinkle with crushed candy canes for a festive holiday finish. Make it a cheeseball: Shape the chilled dip into a ball and roll in crushed candy canes for a stunning, holiday-ready centerpiece. Bonus: Also makes a wonderful icing for sugar cookies and cupcakes.
