Chocolate Cream Cheese Dip

I recently discovered the most delicious snack by the name of, “The Original Cannoli Chips”.  They are the perfect amount of sweetness, have the best quality ingredients in them, and are wonderfully addictive. They are currently available in select Walmart stores throughout the country!  I decided to come up with a recipe that would compliment the chips perfectly and can also be used to dip all types of fruit or even poundcake! It’s quite easy to put together, a perfect dessert for entertaining, or for when you just don’t feel like turning on your oven.  It also makes for a lovely hostess gift during the holidays too!! I am sure you will love this as much as my family does!!
