How to make this caramel apple dip

- You'll save a ton of work if you let the cream cheese cool to room temperature before combining!
- Warm up the caramel. In order to make spreading easier, I like to microwave thicker caramel for 15 seconds.
- Simply smash Heath or Skor candy bars in a food processor or cut them into little pieces with a knife if you are unable to locate toffee bits.
- Chill time: This dip tastes fantastic immediately but will get even thicker as it cools. If you have time, I suggest at least an hour.
