Instructions
- Place the can of Eagle Brand milk and butterscotch morsels in a mixing bowl and heat in the microwave for 1 minute.
- Remove from microwave and stir until smooth.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using half-and-half instead of Eagle Brand milk. If you want a richer flavor, add a pinch of salt or a splash of vanilla extract. Make sure to stir the mixture well between microwave intervals to avoid burning. If using chocolate morsels, be aware that the flavor will change significantly. This dip pairs beautifully with Granny Smith apples, which offer a nice tart contrast.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the butterscotch dip warm for the best taste and texture. It pairs excellently with fresh fruits like apples and pears, or even pretzels for a sweet and salty combination. For a fun twist, try serving it alongside Chewy Candy Bars for a delightful dessert platter, or use it as a topping for vanilla ice cream.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover butterscotch dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To reheat, place the dip in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, stirring in between until it reaches your desired consistency. Avoid overheating, as this can cause the dip to become too thick.
