Peanut Butter Caramel Dip is a three-ingredient sweet dip for apples, pears, pretzels, and more. It's a great way to entice kids to eat more fruit.
Peanut butter and apples is a common snack in our house, but this Peanut Butter Caramel Apple Dip takes it up a notch for sure!
When the kids get home from school, they are ALWAYS looking for a yummy snack. I don't mind if they have treats now and then, but it's all about balance. That's why this Peanut Butter Caramel Apple Dip is perfect.
There's sweetness from the caramel, which they love, and also protein in the peanut butter, which I love. Serving it with slices of apples or pears means they're getting in a serving of fruit, too. That's two points for mom!
Get the kids in on making this recipe with you. It's a good chance to chat with them about their day, and reinforce math skills while you're counting and measuring, too!
