In a stand mixer beat cream cheese and butter together. You can also totally use a hand mixer and bowl.
Add brown sugar, confectioner's sugar, and vanilla until well combined.
Stir in Cadbury Mini Eggs candies with a spatula.
Transport the dip into your serving dish- you can use a fun spring pastel bowl, a beautiful glass serving dish or even a hollow chocolate bunny! But if you’re bringing this somewhere- tupperware is absolutely a valid choice. No judgment! Just package up all your dippables separately and assemble when you get there.
Decorate the top of your dip with more mini eggs- try a mix of whole and crushed eggs for a dynamic design.
Store in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
Assemble your dippable treats around the dip- you can go fancy or rustic. Honestly, this dip is so good, it really doesn’t matter what it looks like.
And that’s it. You’re welcome. Enjoy your new title as the best dessert maker of all time! Or at least of this year’s Easter festivities. Take that, bunny.
