Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make Cherry Chocolate Chip Dip ahead of time?

• Yes! You can prepare the dip up to 24 hours in advance and store it covered in the refrigerator. Add the extra chocolate chips and cherries just before serving.

What should I serve with Cherry Chocolate Chip Dip?

• This sweet dip is delicious with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, shortbread cookies, chocolate cookies, pretzels, strawberries, apple slices or even animal crackers.

Can I use maraschino cherries instead of candied cherries?

• Yes. Be sure to drain the maraschino cherries very well and pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels before chopping them, as excess liquid can make the dip runny.

How long can I store leftover Cherry Chocolate Chip Dip?

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Give the dip a quick stir before serving again.

Should I serve this dip cold?

• You can serve it straight from the refrigerator, but the texture will be firmer. For a softer, creamier dip, allow it to sit at room temperature for about 10–15 minutes before serving.
