Can I use light cream cheese instead of regular?

While you can use light cream cheese, the dip won't be quite as rich and creamy. I find that using full-fat cream cheese creates the best texture and flavor, especially for special occasions when this dip is typically served.

How far in advance can I make this dip?

This dip is best made up to 24 hours in advance. The flavors actually develop nicely with some time in the refrigerator, but I wouldn't go much beyond a day as the candy coating can start to soften and lose its crunch.

Can I use other types of candy instead of Cadbury Mini Eggs?

Absolutely! This versatile dip base works wonderfully with many different mix-ins. Try M&Ms, crushed Oreos, chopped candy bars, or any other favorite candy. Just keep the proportions similar to maintain the right texture.

My dip seems too thick. How can I thin it out?

If your dip is too thick for your liking, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of heavy cream or milk and beat until smooth. Just be careful not to add too much liquid at once – you can always add more, but you can't take it away!
