Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy Easter Dip Recipe
  1. Begin by draining the pineapple chunks, maraschino cherries, and mandarin oranges in a colander for about 5 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained pineapple chunks and cherries. Mash the fruits together until small pieces form.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, sour cream, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. Carefully incorporate your mashed fruit mixture into the cream base. Stir gently but thoroughly.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the bright pink candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring in between.
  6. Once the melted candy has cooled, pour it into your fruit and cream mixture. Mix gently.
  7. Transfer your mixture into a serving bowl, then cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  8. Once chilled, remove the dip from the fridge and top with spring-themed sprinkles. Serve with assorted cookies or fruit.
