What each ingredient does
- Caramels
- Melt into a smooth, sweet, glossy base that holds the dip together.
- Cream cheese
- Adds creaminess and body, keeping the warmed caramel smooth and thick rather than runny.
The step that matters
Microwave in stages and stir. Caramels can scorch or seize if overheated in one long burst. Heating briefly and stirring between rounds spreads heat evenly, so the mixture melts into a smooth, creamy dip.
