Notes
It is important that the butter and cream cheese are softened before making this recipe. Otherwise, the dip will be lumpy. Leave them out at room temperature for two hours to soften them before starting or follow these instructions for how to soften butter quickly (it works for cream cheese, too).
Don't have mini chocolate chips? Regular sized chocolate chips work, too.
Make it ahead: you can make this recipe up to one day in advance of serving it. Cover and refrigerate, then take it out 1–2 hours before you plan to serve it, to allow it to soften for dipping.
I don't recommend freezing this dip—it'll turn chunky instead of creamy when defrosted.
