Easy Halloween Monster Cookie Dough Dip

Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 5 minutes (to heat-treat flour) Total time: 15 minutes Servings: 8-10 Calories: Approximately 350 kcal per serving

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
• 4 oz (1/2 block) cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1-2 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup Halloween-colored M&Ms (or other Halloween candy)
• 1/4 cup candy eyeballs (plus more for topping)

Instructions:

1. Heat-Treat the Flour: This is the most important step! Place the all-purpose flour in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute and 15 seconds, or until the flour’s temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). This kills any bacteria and makes it safe to eat raw. Let it cool completely.
2. Cream Butter & Sugars: In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter, softened cream cheese, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
3. Combine: Beat in the vanilla extract and salt. With the mixer on low, slowly add the cooled, heat-treated flour until just combined.
4. Finish & Chill: Stir in the 1-2 tablespoons of milk to reach a smooth, “dip-able” consistency. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, Halloween M&Ms, and most of the candy eyeballs, saving some for the top.
5. Serve: Transfer to your serving bowl. Press the remaining M&Ms and candy eyeballs all over the top to make it look like a spooky “monster” dip. Serve immediately, or chill until ready to serve.

Cultural or Cooking Technique Note (Optional)

This recipe is a perfect example of a modern “edible cookie dough” dip. The most important technique is heat-treating the flour. Raw flour can carry bacteria (just like raw eggs!), so we quickly “cook” it in the microwave first. This simple, 5-minute step makes the entire dip completely safe to eat, giving you all the joy of eating cookie dough with none of the worry!

Serving Suggestions

1. Pretzel Rods: The salty pretzel and sweet dip is the perfect combination!
2. Graham Crackers: These add a “graham cracker crust” vibe to the cheesecake-like dip.
3. Apple Slices: Fresh, tart apple slices (like Granny Smith) are a fantastic, fresh dipper to balance the sweetness.
4. Animal Crackers or Nilla Wafers: A classic, kid-friendly choice!

Pro Tips for Success

• Don’t Skip Heat-Treating Flour: I know I’m repeating myself, but it’s the most important step for a safe-to-eat dip!
• Use Soft Butter & Cream Cheese: Your butter and cream cheese must be at room temperature. This is the secret to a smooth, creamy, non-lumpy dip.
• Save Some Toppings: Don’t mix all the M&Ms and candy eyeballs into the dip. Save a generous amount to press into the top right before serving. It makes it look so much spookier and more festive!
• Mix it Up! Feel free to add other Halloween candy! Chopped-up peanut butter cups, Reese’s Pieces, or Halloween-colored sprinkles would all be amazing.

Storage & Reheating

• Storage: Because of the cream cheese and butter, this dip must be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last for up to 5 days.
• Reheating: No reheating needed! This is a cold dip. When you’re ready to serve it from the fridge, just let it sit on the counter for 15-20 minutes to soften up slightly, which makes it easier for dipping.
