🍫 BROWNIE BATTER DIP RECIPE

✅ Ingredients:

• Cream cheese – 8 oz (softened to room temperature)

• Unsalted butter – ½ cup (1 stick, softened)

• Brownie mix – 1 cup (boxed mix, heat-treated – see instructions)

• Powdered sugar – ½ cup (adjust to taste)

• Unsweetened cocoa powder – 2 tbsp (for extra chocolate richness)

• Vanilla extract – 1 tsp

• Milk – 2–4 tbsp (adjust for desired consistency)

• Mini chocolate chips – ¼ cup (optional mix-in)

• Salt – a pinch (enhances flavor)

🔥 Heat-Treating the Brownie Mix (IMPORTANT for safety):

Raw brownie mix contains untreated flour which can carry bacteria. Here’s how to make it safe:

Oven Method:

1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).

2. Spread 1 cup of brownie mix on a baking sheet.

3. Bake for 5–7 minutes, stirring once halfway through.

4. Let cool completely before using.

Microwave Method (faster):

1. Place the mix in a microwave-safe bowl.

2. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between, for a total of 1½ to 2 minutes.

3. Let it cool before use.

🥣 Instructions:

1. Cream the base
   In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy (about 1–2 minutes).

2. Add dry ingredients
   Gradually mix in the heat-treated brownie mix, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt until fully combined.

3. Add vanilla & milk
   Pour in the vanilla extract and milk, starting with 2 tablespoons. Beat until smooth. Add more milk as needed to reach your desired creamy, dippable consistency.

4. Fold in chocolate chips
   Stir in the mini chocolate chips (optional) for texture and extra chocolate flavor.

5. Chill (optional)
   You can serve it immediately, but chilling for 30 minutes to an hour helps the flavors meld and gives it a firmer texture.
