# Instructions:
01 -
Soften up the cream cheese by whipping it in a big bowl using an electric mixer until it's nice and smooth without lumps.
02 -
Slowly add the powdered sugar and the vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix until it's all combined and smooth. If you're using marshmallow fluff, gently fold it in here for creamier goodness.
03 -
Use a spatula and carefully fold the whipped topping into the mixture. Make sure everything blends into a fluffy, light consistency.
04 -
Mix in some pink food color—just a few drops to get the color you want. Toss in half the pastel candies or sprinkles, saving the rest for topping later.
05 -
Scoop the dip into a serving bowl. Top it off with the leftover sprinkles or candy bits. Let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes so the flavors come together.
# Notes:
01 -
Pair this dip with marshmallows, crackers, strawberries, or pretzels for a cheerful snack.

Keep any extra in a closed container in the fridge. It'll stay good for up to 2 days.
