Ingredients & Substitutions
I’d flesh these out a little.

- Nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt – Adds creaminess and extra protein.
- Reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel) – Makes the dip rich and smooth.
- Natural peanut butter – Use creamy peanut butter with no added sugar if possible.
- Powdered peanut butter (affiliate link) – Intensifies the peanut flavor without adding much fat.
- Zero-calorie sweetener – Monk fruit, Swerve, Truvia (affiliate link), or your preferred sweetener all work.
- Vanilla extract
- Salt – Just a pinch enhances the chocolate and peanut butter.
- Mini chocolate chips – Fold some into the dip and sprinkle the rest on top.

Step 1: Gather and prepare all ingredients.
Step 2: Stir together all the ingredients, except the mini chocolate chips, in a mixing bowl until creamy and smooth.

Tips for Success

FAQs
Can I make this ahead?
Yes. In fact, many people prefer it after it’s chilled for an hour or two.
Can I use regular whipped topping?
Absolutely. Light whipped topping simply keeps the calories a little lower.
Can I skip the powdered peanut butter?
Yes. The dip will still taste great, though the peanut butter flavor won’t be quite as pronounced.
What are the best dippers?
Fresh apple slices, strawberries, bananas, graham crackers, pretzels, vanilla wafers, and chocolate graham crackers are all delicious.
This looks delicious. I need to be cautious of sodium and you do not list or post the sodium content. This would be helpful. Thank you
