Peanut Butter Brownie Batter Dip
When I am planning a party, I am always trying to find the perfect dip to fit the occasion and this one never fails me. I use cream cheese as a main base in this recipe, similarly to my other dip recipes, but I also use greek yogurt as another base for a lighter feel!
The brownie batter part of this recipe is really what seals the deal on the dip. It is made with my homemade brownie mix which makes my favorite rich brownie–and also makes a great brownie batter flavor within this dip!
Ingredients Needed
- Cream Cheese: Have your cream cheese be room temperature.
- Peanut Butter: Give it that peanut butter taste you need!
- Greek Yogurt: You may substitute with regular yogurt or cool whip.
- Homemade Brownie Mix: Homemade is the best and it’s easy to make but if you want to go the semi-homemade route, buy a box at the store.
- Mini Chocolate Chips or Peanuts: Adds garnish to your dip!
How to make Peanut Butter Brownie Batter Dip
- Place 4 ounces of cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add granulated sugar, peanut butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla and mix until smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup yogurt. Place mixture in a serving bowl
- Place the remaining 4 ounces of cream cheese in the same mixing bowl. Mix with your electric mixer (no need to wash the beaters in between) until smooth. Mix in the brownie mix and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Mix until smooth. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup yogurt. Place in the other half of your serving bowl.
- Take a knife or the back of a wooden spoon and swirl the two dips together. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and/or peanuts for serving. Serve with assorted dippers.
Expert Tips
- Have homemade brownie mix pre-made so anytime in the future it will be easy to reach for!
- You do not need to wash the beaters in between mixing, it isn’t needed and saves you a lot of time!
- I recommend having lots of assorted dippers ready when serving the dip, my favorites for this dip are cookies and graham crackers.

Oh, my!!! All I want to do is take that bowl of yummy dip and smash it in my face!!! Forget the cookies, pretzels, and spoons…just the bowl and my face! Love this so very much!!!!
I think I definitely need to make this for my next office potluck!
The homemade brownie mix, do u just add the dry ingredients to the peanutbutter and other ingredients or do u make the while batter to mix in?
Just the mix, dry, goes into that half of the batter. The peanut butter batter is separate!
Cool thanks
When we were little, my mom would always swirl a little peanut butter into her brownies before baking and this dip reminds me of those homemade brownies… Pinned to make when I visit her at the end of the month!
