Notes

  • Nutrition information is for dip only. 
  • Vanilla bean substitution. If desired, substitute 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste for the vanilla bean and vanilla extract.
  • Sugar options. The dip is slightly tangy. If you would like it sweeter, feel free to add more sugar to taste. For a whiter dip, granulated or powdered sugar can be substituted for the brown sugar.
  • Be creative with the skewers. Pound cake, marshmallows, banana slices, or pineapple chunks can be used for the white. Red raspberries, watermelon chunks, or red apples can be used for the red. Blackberries can be substituted for the blue. If red, white, and blue aren't your colors, substitute anything you like!
