It’s a sweet dessert dip made with cream cheese, brown sugar and toffee bits. Why it’s called “brickle dip” I have no idea, but what I do know is that’s it’s delicious! We love our dessert dips around here like pumpkin dip, funfetti dip and chocolate fruit dip and this creamy apple dip is always a favorite.
Fruit dips are great for everyday snacks with the kids and I also make it for parties and potlucks. No one can resist dipping into it!
Only 5 Ingredients!
What I love about this recipe is that you don’t need a whole bunch of ingredients – the dip has only have five ingredients!
- Softened cream cheese
- Brown sugar
- White sugar
- Vanilla extract
- Toffee baking chips
I like to serve it with Granny Smith apples – they’re tart and pair perfectly with the sweet dip.

How to Soften Cream Cheese
For this recipe, you want to use softened cream cheese because it’s a lot easier to mix and you won’t end up with lumps.
- It will take a block of cream cheese about 30 to 45 minutes to soften at room temperature. Just pull it out of the fridge and leave it on the counter!
- If you’re short on time (and forget to pull it out early!) cut the block of cream cheese into small cubes and leave it out. It should soften in about 15 to 20 minutes. It’s a little quicker!
Can’t Find Toffee Baking Chips?
Toffee chips are usually sold in the baking aisle near the chocolate chips and other baking chips. If you can’t find them you can use Heath bars instead! Just break the candy bars up into small pieces – you can do this in a food processor or place them in a bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
The heath bars are basically chocolate covered toffee bars – so, your dip will have a chocolate twist. Not a bad thing in my opinion!
How to Make It
Combine all of the ingredients for the dip in a bowl. Mix until well combined and then stir in the toffee chips.
Slice your apples and serve with the dip!
FAQs about the Recipe!
- Can I make it ahead? Yes, you can! Make it and then keep it in the refrigerator. I recommend letting it sit out at room temperature for 15 minutes before you serve it – that way it will soften and be dippable!
- How long does it keep? Store it in an airtight container and it will keep up to five days in the refrigerator.
- Can I freeze dessert dips? I don’t recommend freezing it because the texture just won’t be the same after it’s thawed.
- What else can I serve with it? Besides apples, you can serve it with pretty much any fruit you like that’s good for dipping. You can also serve it with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, and shortbread cookies.
- Can I slice the apples ahead of time? Apples tend to brown when they’re sliced, so I recommend slicing the apples just before you serve it. If you cut them ahead of time toss them with a little bit of lemon juice to prevent browning.
This apple brickle dip never lasts long when I make it – you might want to double the batch! I hope you love it as much as my family does.

Love this dip! I’ve been making it without the brickle chips ’cause I didn’t know about them.
About your colds…try Vitamin D. I’ve been taking it daily for several months and everyone in my house has some type of virus, but I don’t! Vitamin D is good for calcium absorbtion and boosting the immune system. Maybe it wil work for you!
