Recipe Notes:
- Store in an airtight container, up to 3 days.
- The use of the extract is completely optional, but it enhances the flavors of the snacks.
- Do not blend the cold whip in the food processor, this will cause it to fall apart. You’ll want to just gently fold the cool whip into the mixture so the sauce stays nice and airy.
- If you don’t have a food processor, don’t worry, you can also use a hand blender.
- Place the dip in the center of a large platter or plate and add all your favorite Christmas crackers, graham crackers, and even vanilla wafers to the plate so you can use them as dips.
- Now I know that Christmas tree snack cakes are only available during the holidays, but Little Debbies also has many other snack cakes that you can create this fun dip with all year long.
