Last year, I celebrated with a big group of my blogging friends. I made delicious, bite sized chocolate peanut butter pretzel doughnuts.
The event was such a success that the hostesses, Carla (from Chocolate Moosey) and Miriam (from Overtime Cook) have decided to hold the 2nd annual Chocolate Peanut Butter Day celebration! This year, we have 28 bloggers participating, so there are enough peanut butter recipes to keep your stomach happy for quite some time!
My recipe for low fat chocolate chip peanut butter dip is the kind of snack that is so easy to put together, you can be enjoying it in less than 5 minutes. Oh, and it uses just 5 basic ingredients!

Here’s the recipe for low fat chocolate chip peanut butter dip. Enjoy!
If you're not concerned about keeping the fat and calories low, this recipe can be made with equal amounts of traditional, full fat cream cheese and regular peanut butter.

- 2 Tablespoons powdered peanut butter
- 2 Tablespoons water
- 8 ounces fat free cream cheese, softened
- 2 Tablespoons confectioner's sugar

- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Add powdered peanut butter and water to a small mixing bowl and use a spoon to stir until combined.
- Add cream cheese, confectioner's sugar, and vanilla extract and stir until well combined. (I used an electric hand mixer, but a large mixing spatula will also work).

I can’t decide which one I want to make first. Which sounds the tastiest to you?
I’m counting calories, can you tell me the nutritional facts and the serving size please. It looks delicious.
Hi Tiffany,
I don’t usually include nutritional information because it can vary greatly depending on which brand of ingredients are used. However, in this case, the recipe makes 4 servings. Each serving has 158 calories, 19 grams of carbohydrates, 4 grams of fat, 9 grams of protein, 16 grams of sugar, and 364 mg of sodium.
There’s a really great nutritional calculator on the MyFitnessPal website that I use a lot. You can get a free account and they have a mobile app, too! I hope you like this dip recipe!
This would make a great dessert for a back packing trip using yogurt as cream cheese it is a little more stable without refrigeration and could survive until the second night before combining the ingredients. Thank you.
That sounds like a great idea, Laura! I hope you enjoy the peanut butter dip recipe!
Ohhhhhh man this would totally be dangerous at my house! …because I’d probably down the whole entire bowl in like 5.8 seconds. Actually, I’m thinking this needs to happen. #worthit
Chris, my friend… the calories in this peanut butter dip are totally worth walking a couple of laps around the block for. Besides, you need to store up all of the excess energy you can, because pretty soon, you’ll be singing the “sleepless new parent” blues as you try to form coherent sentences during the day! 🙂
This looks awesome – I am so glad it’s health food! 🙂
Hehe… Always happy to help a friend, Jessie! 🙂
Wow! This dip needs to happen…ASAP! Pinned.
This wouldn’t make it to dip stage… it would meet my spoon in short order
This dip looks amazing!
A few years ago I had several jars of powdered peanut butter in my pantry. I really need to stock up again. I loved it and love the sounds of your dip.
Chef Becca, I’ve never heard of powdered peanut butter before. How cool is that?! This dip looks rich, creamy ‘n decadent – perfect for planting my face in! 😉
Becca, I’m not going to lie. I’d eat the whole damn dip with a spoon. Then I’ll eat a salad and call it a balanced meal.
And that, sweet Arman, is why you’re a freaking culinary genius! I love the way you think!
I’m dreaming about all the good things to dip into this spread!
Becca – it’s as if a cannoli met a Reese’s peanut butter cup and they decided to go on a diet together:) What fun! Although I have to admit I’m tempted by the full-fat version, slathered on a chocolate cookie.
You know what, Laura? I’ve never had a cannoli, so if it tastes anything like this dip, I need to try one ASAP! P.S. Chocolate cookies and a full fat version of this dip? YES, please!
I’m such a sucker for a cream cheese based dip, especially when chocolate and peanut butter are involved. Pass me a spoon! 😀
Carla, every time I see you post a cream cheese dip, I always think it’s the greatest idea ever! This was the first truly sweet dip I’ve made, and I am NOT regretting the decision!
ive got some crackers and im ready to dip in. oh and strawberries too. i cant believe this is low fat, you’re killing me with how bad i want this!
Oooo, I hadn’t thought of strawberries for this dip, but Kelsey, that’s an awesome idea!
Yum!! This looks so good! I love peanut butter and apples together so this looks like the perfect dip!
Thanks so much, Jay! It’s quick and easy and OH so yummi! 😉
omigosh this would totally KILL at any party!
Considering how quickly hubs and I gobbled it up, I think you’re right, Kayle!
Of all the dessert dips I’ve ever made, peanut butter dip was obviously the best. Great idea to make it slightly less sinful.
I have to agree, Erin. This was the first time I went for a sweet dip, and now I’m afraid there’s no turning back!
What a quick and easy treat! This would be perfect for parties!
Quick and easy is the only way to go when you need a snack fast, Lisa!
Interesting! I’ve never heard of powdered peanut butter. How does the flavor compare with traditional peanut butter?
Coleen, I’m one of those people who’s skeptical of all new products I come across and I have a very picky palate, but let me tell you… this stuff is amazing! It’s all-natural. All they did was press the oil out of the peanuts and reduce what was left into a powder, so it’s essentially peanut flour. You mix it with a little water to turn it into thick peanut butter without all of the fat. I absolutely love it, and I bet you will, too!
Yeah, low fat means we can eat more, right? Give me a spoon I want to dive right in, looks so good.
Yes, as a matter of fact, low fat DOES mean we can eat more and not feel guilty, Janette! Here’s your spoon… dig in!
Never made it before but I’ve tried it the full fat way. Looking forward to trying it your way.
Healthy or full fat, this dip is where it’s at, Karen. I hope you’ll give it a try!
Dang lady – this dip sounds wonderful! I’ve always been curious about powdered PB – you sure made good use of it – though – this is more than a snack – I say lets have this for breakfast! 🙂
Thanks, Sweetness! I bought the PB2 ages ago and was really reluctant to try it, because I’m such a HUGE peanut butter lover, but then I realized that it’s just pressed peanuts.. it’s peanut butter without the fat, girly! It’s SO worth buying. I added it to my oatmeal this morning and went straight to PB heaven.
I’ve heard tell of powdered peanut butter but have never actually seen it on store shelves. Did you order it online, Becca? That dip looks marvelous!
Stacy, I ordered the powdered peanut butter from Amazon, but I’ve also seen it at health food stores. It’s so worth buying! If you click on the hyperlink in my recipe, it’ll take you to the product I bought.
We were on the same wavelength today, except you’ve given me a healthy alternative!!! Thanks, Becca!!!
I can’t wait to check out your version, Liz! Coming over shortly 🙂
So excited to see you using powdered peanut butter! I LOVE that stuff…which means that, this dip? I NEED IT ALL! Pinning!
Oh girly, I am so happy that I took the plunge into powdered peanut butter! I added it to my oatmeal yesterday and went straight to peanut butter heaven!
I’d be eating celery every day if this dip was around.
welcome to my world, Renee. Celery never tasted so good! 🙂
