Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3–4 drops orange gel food coloring (or to desired shade)
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or candy melts
Optional: plastic spider for decoration
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
- Gradually blend in powdered sugar, then mix in vanilla until fully combined.
- Add orange food coloring and mix until uniform in color.
- Transfer dip to a shallow serving dish and smooth the top.
- Melt chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Let cool 1–2 minutes.
- Pipe chocolate in three concentric circles on the dip. Drag lines outward from the center to form a spiderweb design.
- Place a plastic spider in the center if desired. Serve with pretzels, graham crackers, or apple slices.
Notes
Use reduced-fat cream cheese for a lighter version.
White chocolate creates a striking web on a deeper orange dip.
Add 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice for seasonal flavor.
Double the recipe for parties; use a larger serving dish for visibility.
Keep apple slices fresh by tossing with lemon juice before serving.
