FAQs

Is it safe to eat raw flour?

Only if it’s heat-treated. Baking the flour at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes makes it safe to eat.

Can I use store-bought edible cookie dough instead?

Yes, but making your own gives you full control over the ingredients and mix-ins.

Can I skip the cream cheese?

You can, but it adds a creamy tang that balances the sweetness. Substitute with more butter or a thick Greek yogurt for a slightly different texture.

What should I serve with this dip?

Graham crackers, pretzels, apple slices, vanilla wafers, or even strawberries work great for dipping.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, you can make it up to 2 days in advance. Just refrigerate and let soften before serving.

Can I freeze the dip?

Freezing isn’t recommended as the texture may change, but it will keep in the fridge for several days.

What type of M&Ms should I use?

Mini M&Ms work best, but you can also use chopped regular M&Ms or themed seasonal varieties.

Can I make this dip vegan?

Yes—use vegan butter, dairy-free cream cheese, and vegan chocolate candies.

How can I make it sweeter or less sweet?

Adjust the amount of sugar or add a drizzle of maple syrup or honey for extra sweetness. For less sweet, reduce the sugar or use dark chocolate.
