• Choose your dippers: These dips pair well with a variety of treats, such as pretzels, graham crackers, gingerbread men, fresh fruit, or even cupcakes.
• Store leftovers properly: If you have leftover dip, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. These dips typically last for up to three days.
• Customize your flavors: Add more or less sugar to suit your taste, and experiment with different extracts like almond or orange for unique variations.
