What can I use instead of graham crackers for dipping?

Try using cookies, pretzels, or fruit slices as alternatives. They're all delicious options!

Is there a sugar-free version of this dip?

Absolutely! Use a sugar substitute that measures like sugar to keep it sweet without the added sugars.

I don’t recommend freezing since the texture may change. It’s best enjoyed fresh or refrigerated for a few days.
