Green apples are a classic choice to serve alongside this: their tartness balances it out perfectly. But it’s also delicious with grapes, large strawberries. and graham crackers.

👩🏻🍳 Expert tips
- There’s no need to whip the mixture, just beat until smooth.
- Make sure you sit the candy bar in by hand, not with the mixer.
- The cream cheese needs to be at room temperature or you’ll have a lumpy mixture that’s hard to blend.
- If you want to use a stand mixer that’s fine, but a hand mixer is all you need.
