Ingredients You Need
Ingredients You Need - Cream Cheese – You can use full fat or low fat. Of course full fat offers a richer flavor, but it is okay to reach for the lower fat if you want to make it a little bit lighter.
- Caramel Sauce – Reach for jarred or bottled caramel sauce like you would use for a sundae. Any brand will work, but I do recommend buying quality, as it is a stand out flavor.
- Sugar
- Toffee Bits – Find these in the baking aisle next to the chocolate chips. They are candy pieces of toffee. Trust me, these little bits add so much texture and flavor to the dip.
- Apple – Use fresh apples or other fruit to dip in. Or even do cookies like vanilla wafers, Teddy grahams, graham crackers, etc.

Can I Make This Sugar Free
You are more than welcome to swap sugar with a sugar substitute or omit it. Then for the caramel sauce, reach for a sugar free caramel sauce to replace! You can leave off the toffee bits or replace with a sugar free chocolate chip or even butterscotch chip.
