You've gotta try this! A mocha peanut butter cup dessert dip made with Alpine Start! - Alpine Start

We recently teamed up with Marlo's Bakeshop to create a fun and delicious dessert that's one of our new favorites. This recipe is really the best of both worlds; both a satisfying sweet treat and playful dessert dip! We wanted to craft a recipe that would work as a great snack or dish to share with friends (or as a treat for yourself!) This recipe features Alpine Start's coffee flavors and Marlo's Bakeshop delicious soft-baked biscotti!


For this recipe we used Alpine Start Original Blend Instant Coffee, made with 100% High Altitude Colombian Arabica Coffee. The instant coffee was the perfect counterpart to the sour cream, helping dilute a bit of the moisture so the dip wouldn't be too runny. The coffee also adds just a touch of mocha flavor giving the dip depths of flavor, but you can leave it out if you're serving this dip to little ones. The result is a delicious and creamy dip that's not overly sweet but definitely satisfies your sweet tooth.


When it comes to dippers, we recommend pretzel rods, apple slices, marshmallows, graham crackers, or even soft-baked biscotti! Anything can be a dipper if you're creative! And we certainly wouldn't frown upon taking a good ol' spoon to this yummy dessert. 
 

Here's the recipe!
