Ingredients
Scale
- 8 Ounces Cream Cheese - softened
- 7 Ounce Jar of Marshmallow Fluff
- 1/2 Cup Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Bean Paste
- 1/4 Teaspoon Peppermint Extract
- Pink Food Coloring

Instructions
- In a large bowl, add softened cream cheese and marshmallow fluff and mix with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add in powdered sugar, vanilla, peppermint extract, and a tiny drop of pink food coloring (can be omitted, but a tiny drop adds a festive light pink color to the dip. Add just a little but to start - you can always add more if a deeper color is desired. A small amount of red food coloring will also work). Mix until all combined, smooth, and creamy.

Notes
- Store leftovers in the fridge covered for 4-5 days.
- Vanilla extract can also be used instead of vanilla bean paste.
