- Use crunchy peanut butter if you like added texture in your dip.
- Swap graham crackers for pretzels or apple slices for a different dipping experience.
Storage
Store the dip ball wrapped tightly in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Keep it chilled until ready to serve. If the dip softens too much at room temperature, simply return it to the fridge to firm up again before serving.
