Description
Cannoli Dip with Cinnamon Sugar Chips is a dessert inspired by traditional Italian cannoli filling. Instead of piping the filling into fried pastry shells, the creamy mixture is served as a dip. The base is a smooth blend of ricotta cheese and cream cheese, sweetened with powdered sugar and flavored with vanilla and cinnamon. Mini chocolate chips are folded in for texture and richness.

1 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
¾ cup brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg

1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
Optional mix-ins: peanut butter chips, chopped peanuts, pretzels, sea salt flakes

Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.Whisk peanut butter, melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
Add egg and vanilla; mix well.
Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined.

Sprinkle extra chocolate chips or flaky sea salt on top (optional).
Bake 20–25 minutes, until edges are set and center is slightly soft.
