3 Decadent dessert dips in all your favorite holiday flavors

When I was a kid, I had no idea that by the time I would be an adult, dessert dips would be a thing. The first time I saw a dessert dip, I was totally thrown off. A dip that’s a dessert? Aren’t dips for savory goods? Nope. Dessert dips are now totally a thing.

These sweet little bowls of deliciousness take all the best holiday and winter flavors and turn them into a dip. You can serve them with cookies, pretzels or even fresh fruit slices. It’s totally up to you. I personally like to eat the dips with apple slices, but pretzels are my second favorite.
