Monster Cookie Dough Dip

Ughhhh...

I'm so over this week and it's only Monday.

I've been working all weekend on my house, repainting my living room and hanging new decorations around my house.  At this point, I've got a few touch-ups to do and rehanging my curtains before I can say I'm done.

My mom wouldn't a little overboard trying to help me out, bringing me some snacks to keep me going.  She brought me some snack cookies and candies.  That was probably the highlight of this long, long weekend.

That bag of goodies did propel me into this cookie dough dip, so I guess it wasn't all bad.  Except, I have to say that if you make this, make sure you've got other people around to help you eat it.  If you're all alone, and you're getting frustrated with your home renovation projects, AND you're by definition a 'stress-eater', than this is more than a little dangerous.

Trust me.  I know this firsthand.

This dip is full my favorite things and that is the most accurate statement ever uttered.  I love cookies.  I love candies.  I love cream cheese and peanut butter and chocolate.  When all of those things are combined, well...

I'm in love.

This is the perfect break-time snack when you're being swallowed alive by your DIY House projects...
