Sprinkles Dip - Mixing at Home or On Show?

[ChefPaulaB]

When you do the Sprinkles Dip thing in the trio bowl with cream cheese and marshmallow stuff, do you mix it ahead at home, or do you do it right at the show?

 

[pamperedlinda]

I do it at home

 

[ChefPaulaB]

Thank you!

What is the sprinkles dip?

 

[chefann]

1 8 oz cream cheese
1 7 oz jar marshmallow creamMix to combine. Split into thirds, and add 1 tablespoon sweet sprinkle to each portion. (The thirds allow you to make all 3 flavors). Serve in trio bowl. Serve with pretzels or graham cracker sticks.

That sounds really good!!!!! Which sprinkle does everyone thinks taste the best as a dip?

 

[chef greta]

I liked the caramel sprinkles the best . . . i used the other recipe, similar to this but it also had 8oz of sour cream.

 

[chefann]

DH, surprisingly, likes the mocha ones the best. It's a surprise because he can't stand coffee. I like that one or the cinnamon.But that's why this recipe is great - it gives customers a chance to try all 3!

That's the recipe I use - it's actually a fruit dip recipe I've used for many years. I like it because it cuts the sweetness of the dip a bit more. I divide it into thirds, and then I use 1 Tbls. of sprinkles per third. It's really good with pretzels and apple wedges.

I put it in the fridge overnight after making it once. Tasted even better the next day!!!! The sprinkles had disolved some and the taste was stronger.

Thanks for sharing. I use 1/4 cup sprinkles with 1 brick cream cheese for a bagel spread. Caramel is my fav.

 

[ChefPaulaB]

I tasted it right after I made it and wasn't that impressed, but after it sat in the fridge for a while allowing the flavors to meld a bit it was really good, I like them all!

I'm so trying them tonight at my first live show of the Year! Sounds yummy!

 

[straitfan]

I made a batch last night to use at tonight's show, but I left it all in one bowl and thought I'd add the sprinkles tonight when I divide it up into the trio bowl. Guess I'll miss out on the "melding of flavors" Oh well, that's the way I had to do it, as I had to have everything packed when I left the house this morning!

 

[babywings76]

I love the caramel. I made it once when we had friends over. No one would try it!!! I don't know why?!! I felt like a piggy eating it. But pretzels with the caramel dip were the best! I'd like to know what I could make with the leftovers aside from it being a dip. Any ideas? Could the cinnamon one go on as a cinnamon roll spread layer?

 

[ChefPaulaB]

I would think that cinnamon or caramel would be good on cinnamon rolls, maybe even the mocha if you're into coffee..... you might have to research that for us, all in name of science...

oOOH! GOOD IDEA

This was a big hit at my show last night, although nobody ordered any of the sprinkles, nor ordered enough to get one free. I made the dip at home and put it in the trio bowl, covering it with a Glad easy-cover (they look like the cheap shower caps from hotels). Then, when I got to the host's house, I just took the cover off, placed the trio bowl into the middle of the dots medium bowl, and poured pretzels into the bowl. It's a cute display.

OUUH, good idea! I was wondering how to display the 3 trio bowl with a dots bowl or plate??

 

[BethCooks4U]

I do exactly what Ann does (execpt I use saran wrap - I don't have any shower hats for my bowls). I'm taking it to every show in February to promote the sprinkles and have sold several sprinkles (plus the free) and some dots dishes too! I put a color coded straw (cut to be shorter) in 2 of the bowls and I marked the corresponding bottles so they know which sprinkle they are tasting.

 

[chefann]

The straws is a good idea. I just tell the crowd that the darkest dip is Mocha, the lightest one is caramel, and the one in the middle is cinnamon. If they can't remember, they have to taste all 3.

 

[Jessie Jolly]

Thanks everyone for the great ideas! I will try this at my shows next week!

 

[catlwilles]

I made this last night and put it in the small Bamboo Bowls on the Cracker Tray. It looked really cute that way too. I filled the last bowl with pretzel sticks. It was yum, and my DH even ate it!

Ann where do you find the "shower caps" for the bowls? I loved them but can't find them at any stores here anymore.

 

[chefann]

I had some from several years back. I don't use them often (or at all) and remembered them when I was rooting through the cupboard looking for a cover for the trio bowl. When you travel, take the shower cap from the hotel if you don't use it, and keep it to use in the kitchen.

I had some from several years back. I don't use them often (or at all) and remembered them when I was rooting through the cupboard looking for a cover for the trio bowl. When you travel, take the shower curtain from the hotel if you don't use it, and keep it to use in the kitchen.

You mean shower cap, right?! Could you just imagine taking down the whole curtain and taking it home with you!

 

[chefann]

Yes- I mean shower cap. I haven't had my coffee this morning.

 

[heat123]

Yeah, they used to sell them in the baggies section, they looked exactly like shower caps but had colors.

 

[kaseydee]

And now I can't find them anywhere...I loved them!
