- This dip is best served chilled if you prefer a firmer texture, but it can also be enjoyed immediately after preparation for a creamier consistency.
- Use softened cream cheese and butter to ensure easy mixing and smooth texture.
- Feel free to customize the dippers based on your preference, such as adding cookies or vanilla wafers.
- Make sure to use dry brownie mix—wet brownie batter will alter the consistency.
