Brownie Batter Dip

I guess it's dip season!  I made this for craft night at my house.  It was so so good!  We dipped apples, strawberries, pretzels, vanilla wafers and graham cracker sticks.  It reminded me a little of Carrie's chocolate chip cheese ball.

It came from Mel's Kitchen Cafe.  Here's the link:

 I just copy/pasted the whole thing.
Try it!!


INGREDIENTS:
8 ounces cream cheese, light or regular, softened to room temperature
1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) butter, softened to room temperature
2 cups powdered sugar, plus more for a stiffer consistency, if needed
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons cocoa powder, regular or Dutch-process
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2-4 tablespoons milk
Chocolate chips for garnish (optional)
Pretzels, strawberries, graham crackers, animal crackers, apples for dipping
DIRECTIONS:
In a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer or in the bowl of an electric stand mixer, whip together the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Add 2 cups of the powdered sugar. Mix well. Add the flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, vanilla and 2 tablespoons milk. Mix until fluffy and smooth. Add additional powdered sugar and/or milk, if needed, until desired consistency is reached. The dip should be soft enough to easily dip a pretzel in (without breaking the pretzel!) but not so soft that it spreads out instead of holding it’s shape in a fluffy cloud of brownie batter goodness. Garnish with chocolate chips, if desired.
