Why this Recipe Works
I’ve got an insane recipe for you today. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Dip!
This dip has it all:
- chocolate
- peanut butter
- cookie dough
All mixed together for the ultimate decadent scoopable dessert.
Peanut butter cookie dough dip gets its soft, creamy texture from cream cheese. Beaten with powdered sugar, it provides the perfect base the Reese’s bits and chocolate chips.
You end up with an amazing contrast of smooth and chunky textures to deliver all that great chocolate-peanut butter flavor to your mouth.
Scoop it up with pretzels and graham crackers or Nilla wafers. It takes a lot of willpower to resist just digging into the bowl with a spoon!
If you can’t resist eating the cookie dough when making Peanut Butter Cookies, this dip is created for you!
Ingredient Notes
Chances are you have most of these ingredients already in your pantry! Stock up some Reese’s and you’ll be ready in minutes.
- Peanut butter. Smooth creamy peanut butter works best.
- Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. I used the mini peanut butter cups. Full sized Reese’s chopped into bite sized chunks will work too.
- Chocolate chips. I prefer the texture of mini chocolate chips in the dip, however regular chocolate chips are fine if that’s all you have.
- Cream Cheese. Make sure it’s softened first!
Recipe FAQs
Yes, salted butter will work just fine in this peanut butter cookie dough dip recipe.
The dip may turn out darker if you use dark brown sugar. If the brown sugar mixture is still warm when you beat it into the dip, it will also cause the chocolate to melt into the dip a bit. This can result in a darker brown color.
This Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Dip is amazing with all kinds of dippers. Pretzels, animal crackers and graham crackers are my favorite! Nilla wafers and apples are delicious choices too.
Yes, you can make this dip up to 2 days in advance. Keep in the fridge until ready to serve!

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Dip
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup semi sweet mini chocolate chips
- 8 ounce Reese's peanut butter cup Minis or about 1 1/2 cup chopped Reeses cups
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and whisk in the brown sugar and peanut butter. Heat until sugar dissolves (about one minute). Remove from heat immediately and allow to cool to room temperature (very important).
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar until creamy (about 3-4 minutes, don’t skimp on the beating time). On low, add in brown sugar mixture (that has cooled to room temperature). Mix until combined.
- Fold in mini chocolate chips and mini Reese’s cups. Serve immediately or store in refrigerator until ready to serve. Enjoy with pretzels, animal cracker and graham sticks.
Notes
- Light brown sugar is best to keep the dip a lighter color and help the peanut butter flavor shine through. You mix this with peanut butter and butter while warming on the stove.
- Let the butter mixture cool completely while you beat together cream cheese and powdered sugar. Only add the butter mixture to the cream cheese once its fully cooled.
- Add Reese’s and mini chips at the end. Be sure all the other dip ingredients are well combined, before mixing in the candies.
- Serve immediately OR store in the fridge. It’s delicious room temperature or chilled!

A sweet dessert dip like this Reese’s Peanut Butter Dip would be a hit at any Superbowl party! Don’t wait to grab a bite–it’ll disappear before you know it.
I don’t know that your comments can get any more offensive to me as a woman. I, for one, watched the whole damn game and enjoyed it. And also managed to eat my face off. Maybe focus less on stereotyped gender norms in your next post.
On the upside, this cookie dip looks amazing.
I’m sorry if I came across as offensive. I truly was only referring to my group of friends and how “we” behave during a superbowl party!
YUUUUUUMMMM!
This looks unbelievable!!! I am your newest follower! I SOOOOO have to make this for a party! =D
It’s quite addicting, enjoy!!! I’m so glad you are following 🙂
How rich does this usually turn out? Or sweet? And what do you typically use to dip in it? Looks delicious!
Hi Christie, it’s definitely not for the faint of heart. It is quite a sweet dip, and very rich because it has the Reese’s and peanut butter! We enjoyed it with pretzels the most, but grahams and animal crackers were wonderful too. ENJOY.
Yummy and beautiful!! Hope you can link up at my trendy tuesday party!! http://www.sweetlittlegals.com/2013/02/trendy-tuesday-22.html
Highly disappointed in this recipe! The color of the dip is darker than your pictures and is not very appetizing. Did you photoshop your pictures? I wish food bloggers would restrain from doing this so much… Not a keeper in our house…
Hi Carla, I definitely didn’t lighter the color of the dip. The only difference that might have made your dip darker is the brand of peanut butter used? I used Jif creamy PB in my recipe. We love it here, this dip has appeared several times now in the past two weeks and we can’t seem to get enough of it! I’m sorry it didn’t fit for you!
I agree, it didn’t work out for me either. It came out a lot darker and very soupy. I’m wondering if something in the recipe is either off, or if I should’ve cooled the peanut butter mixture for a lot longer than I did.
Okay, after I looked at the recipe again I realized I used a stick of regular baking spread instead of the unsalted butter, which I’m assuming made a difference… but I ended up throwing in an extra brick of cream cheese, which firmed it up a little and cut the sweetness down 🙂
This was awful tasted too much like cream cheese yuck!
I’m so sorry you didn’t enjoy this recipe. I know it’s one of my family’s favorites, but we all have different taste preferences for sure!
I made the chipotle barbacoa and cilantro lime rice tonight for our Super Bowl celebration. It was delicious! I’ll definitely be adding it to my list of favorite recipes.
I also tried to make the regular and peanut butter cookie dough dips. They did not turn out like I was hoping. Not sure where i went wrong, but they both tasted like caramel cream cheese, well and peanut butter cream cheese. The consistency didn’t seem right either. I’m thinking if I ever try to do the dip again I’ll just make my cookie dough and try an egg substitute. I usually eat it anyway.
Just made this and it came out brown instead of white??? Any suggestions?
the only thing I can think of is maybe the brand of peanut butter? I used Jif creamy PB for my dip. Did it still taste good, I hope?!
same here… mine turned out brown… i have the exact same questions haha how did you add the pb mix and it not turn brown???
Holy WOW!! I’m making this for Super Bowl Sunday for sure! My kids will go nuts for this! Thank you!
Wow look at all those pins! You always come up with the best recipes, Aimee! And I couldn’t decide whether to pin to my ‘Desserts’ board or my ‘snacks & appetizers’ board…it’s a snack right? 😉
I think you should have it as a snack, then for dessert have it again. Repeat until gone 🙂
OMG this looks incredible.
Saw this on Iowa Girl Eats, YUM!!! This would be dangerous to have in the house! Chocolate and peanut butter Seeses dip with salty pretzels, yea I would have NO self control.
She was so sweet to share my dip recipe! glad you popped over to say hello! Agreed on the self-control, it was very hard, good thing I had friends to share with or I could have eaten it all myself!
The dip was so quick and easy to make & so delicious! Thanks for the recipe.
You are welcome Dee, so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for stopping back and letting me know!
hi! this recipie looks great. i was wondering- would you have to put the cream cheese in there? i want to make this but i skipped over the cream cheese when i read the list and didnt get any and i need to make it by tomorrow. thanks in advance.
Yeah, the cream cheese definitely needs to be in there, it gives it such depth of flavor. Sorry 🙁
Hi! Where is the recipe? I don’t see it. What do I need to buy? Thanks!
OH MY GOSH! I just gained 20 pounds looking at those pictures. Please come to my super bowl party 🙂 I saw you linked up at The 36th Ave. Also, I am your newest likes on facebook, following via my blog’s page and my personal page and I would be giddy if you’d like me back!

I am not sure what to say…other than dangerous!
Thanks Holly. There really are no other words….
Because your name is also Aimee, I love your site already. But I am drooling over this dip. I adore reeses peanut butter cups more than a lot of things, but I have never thought of adding them to cookie dough, and cookie dough dip, is genius. Can’t wait to try this!
I love your name right back 🙂
Whoa, lady! What are you trying to do here??? In all seriousness…that $hit looks awesome and I’m gonna have to try it!! My hubby happened to be over my shoulder as I was reading the recipe…out loud. Needless to say, my feet are to the fire now! Thanks for sharing!
Update: I made this for my MIL’s birthday party and it was a H.I.T!! It’s just so dang good and creamy and rich. Perfect with Snyder butter pretzels that look like waffle chips. OMG. I had to pull up your recipe to share with others….
I ‘m so glad you enjoyed this recipe!!! we love it too, and have made it several times.
Oh my heaven’s!!! That looks so incredibly delish!!! Thanks so much!! 😉
Thanks Bonnie!!! It is quite delish 🙂
