11 - Pieces of graham crackers

# Instructions:

01 - Soften cream cheese by blending it into a smooth, lump-free texture with a hand mixer in a big bowl.
02 - Mix powdered sugar and vanilla into the cream cheese gradually. If you'd like it creamier, add marshmallow fluff at this point.
03 - Fold in the whipped topping carefully until everything is nicely blended and fluffy.
04 - Blend in some pink dye, adjusting the amount to get the color you want. Gently stir in half your sprinkles or candies, keeping the rest for decorating later.
05 - Spoon the dip into a nice dish, sprinkle your leftover decorations on top, and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before digging in.

# Notes:

01 - Pair this dip with strawberries, marshmallows, pretzels, or graham crackers for a fun snack.
02 - Leftovers? Keep them sealed in a container in the fridge. They’ll stay good for 48 hours.
03 - Experiment with different food colors to match holiday themes or events.
