I am going to be doing a display this weekend for an open house thing. I remember hearing you can do something with the caramel sprinkles and cream cheese. Do you just take a block of cream cheese and add the sprinkles, and let the guests dip the graham crackers into it? Or, do you actually soften the cream cheese and then mix in the sprinkles? How much sprinkle mixture per 1 block of cream cheese? Thanks in advance!

There are 2 different recipes going around. One is an 8 oz block of cream cheese softened, and a small jar of Marshmallow fluff, and add the sprinkles to it.

I do the same, only I also add 8 ounces of sour cream to mine. It's a little thinner consistency that way.

If you are going to divide it into thirds, I add a good Tbls. of sprinkles to each third.
 
Here is a recipe card that I did up

Do you use Graham Crackers for dipping or something else?
 
graham cracker sticks are great! Pretzel sticks are also awesome too for the sweet/salty mix

Just wanted to update...this was a huge hit at a show I did Friday night and the display I set up this weekend. I was provided the ingredients, and only was able to ask for the cream cheese, so no marshmallows. I just added a couple tbs. sprinkles to the softened cream cheese, drizzled in a little caramel ice cream topping, and WOW! It is so yummy! I think every guest ordered a bottle of the sprinkles at the show Friday night.
