Can I make this dip ahead of time?
Yes, this dip can easily be mixed and made up to twenty-four hours in advance for the best flavor when serving.
I would recommend if making the dip in advance, you wait to add the chocolate drizzle topping and extra Reese’s peanut butter cups to the top until you are ready to serve. This ensures the toppings look their best when serving.
How Long Does This Cheesecake Dip Last?
The dip itself will last in the fridge for up to three to four days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Store any cookies separately from the dip. Putting cookies or other crunchy dippers in the same container as the dip to store them can cause the cookies to get soggy.
