Hello, I could come on here and talk in detail of how I've lost 34 pounds (just stepped on the scale this morning)in just over 3 months but I've decided instead to share a recipe with you for a very easy, incredibly tasty and horribly bad for you treat. I suppose there is the one stipulation that you like chocolate chip cookie dough. I was at work yesterday browsing cnn.com and an article on their food blog caught my attention. I love dipping things and I love cookie dough so I had to click on the article about chocolate chip cookie dough dip. I read the article and then I read the recipe and I decided that the recipe was walking the fine line nestled between being really good or really gross. Naturally, I decided to make it and find out for myself. I had all of the ingredients for the recipe at home with the exception of the cream cheese and the Nilla Wafers to dip with so it seemed like a great idea. After a quick stop at Meijer, I was home and ready to begin.
The recipe is incredibly simple to make. Most people will probably have a majority of the ingredients in their fridges and/or cupboards. All it takes is 1 bowl, 1 pot and a whisk. After whipping up this new treat I first tried it with a pretzel. It was OK. Then, I grabbed a Nilla Wafer and dug in. It was delicious! I might even make some more for my family Christmas. I brought it into work today but I haven't heard any reviews back. I'm anxious to see what people will think.
Anyway, here is the recipe. If you're looking for something new and easy give it a shot!
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip:
1/2 c. butter
1/3 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 8 oz. package cream cheese (I used reduced fat)
1/2 c. powdered sugar
3/4 c. chocolate chips
In a 2 qt. sauce pot, over medium heat, melt butter and brown sugar. Cook and whisk until sugar is mostly dissolved (I don't feel like it ever fully dissolved). Remove from heat to cool. Whisk in vanilla. In a separate bowl blend cream cheese and powdered sugar. Add sugar/vanilla sauce and mix thoroughly. Add the chocolate chips last. Put in fridge to cool completely. Serve with whatever you want for dipping. I bet graham crackers would be as good as Nilla Wafers!

First of all, congrats on that amazing weight loss! You've made incredible progress. I'm confident you'll maintain that momentum as 2011 starts. Or you will tackle any plateaus that occur and succeed!
My chiropractor actually shared a similiar recipe and I was too scared to try it. I'm pretty sure I threw it away. I'm just completely turned off by cream cheese so I doubt I'll ever make that dip. Oddly enough, I'm not crazy about chocolate chip cookie dough either.
I too am proud of your weight loss. Isn't that one of the best gifts you could have given yourself? Do it again and that's close to 70 pounds! The dip sounds interesting, but I have yet to bake anything yet. Thanks for the share though.
