Sweet Easter Dip with Cream Cheese

This easy sweet Easter dip is perfect for the treats table! A combination of fruits, cream cheese and melted candy, this dessert dip is sure to be a crowd favorite!

A sweet Easter dip sits in a bowl, topped with colorful confetti sprinkles and surrounded by crunchy pretzels and decorative faux carrots.

The melted candy not only adds sweetness and color, it also makes this a thicker dip that will stick to pretzels and cookies without sliding off.

We used pink candy melts in this Easter candy dip, but you could choose another color, such as blue, yellow, orange or green.

This cold dip is perfect paired with pretzels, cookies, graham crackers or animal crackers.
