Products Used

1 lb. Light Brown Sugar Box

1 lb. Confectioners Powdered Sugar Box

Ingredients

Chocolate Cheesecake Dip

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese , room temperature
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
5 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons Dixie Crystals Light Brown Sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons milk
2 cups, plus 2 tablespoons sifted Dixie Crystals Confectioners Powdered Sugar

To Decorate and Serve

10 crushed chocolate cream sandwich cookies
Vanilla sandwich cookies, such as Milanos®
Black decorating icing
Candy corn and pumpkins
Graham crackers, apple slices, and/or pretzels, for serving

Directions

In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Sift in cocoa powder, then add brown sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and milk. Beat on low speed until the cocoa powder is incorporated, then increase speed to high until very well combined. Sift in powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time, beating slowly after each addition to incorporate. Increase speed to high and beat until smooth and light, about 3 minutes. Transfer dip to a serving dish and smooth top with a spatula.
Spread crushed chocolate cookies over top of dip to form “dirt.” With decorating icing, write “RIP” on vanilla wafer cookies, then stand upright in dip to form “tombstones.” Scatter candy corn and candy pumpkins over top to decorate. Serve with graham crackers, sliced apples, and/or pretzels as desired.

This dip is sinfully delicious! My daughter and her best friend make this every year together before our Halloween get together. They have so much fun making it and it's always a big hit.
