What To Eat With Your Little Debbie Dip

Many people like to pair their snack dip with vanilla wafers, but you can experiment with everything from crunchy gingerbread to graham crackers -- anything that you feel will complement the flavors of your sugary concoction. If you've made a dip out of Zebra Cakes, which have a yellow cake base and zig-zags of fudge on top, consider dunking some pretzels in there for a delicious combination of salty and sweet flavors. Vanilla and chocolate are a classic duo, so give your homemade crisp vanilla butter cookies a creamy chocolate accompaniment by using Little Debbie Swiss Rolls.

Fudge desserts are often topped with cherries, but you can invert the combination with a dip made from Little Debbie's Frosted Fudge Cakes. Get some dried cherries, sink them in your fudge dip, and enjoy those delicious bursts of sweet and sour against the richness of the chocolate. For a balanced and tasty snack, you can try making a dip out of Little Debbie's Oatmeal Creme Pies and dunk carrots in it for sweet and vegetal bites with a snappy crunch. You can also use your dip as a topping for a variety of drinks.

Use Your Sweet Dip As A Beverage Garnish

Besides using them for dunking, you can also decorate drinks with your dessert dips -- especially any made from Little Debbie's top three treats, such as spooning a bit of Swiss Roll dip on top of a vanilla latte. Coffee and donuts are a time-honored combination, but you can remix these traditional flavors after turning Little Debbie's Donut Sticks into a tasty dip. When you wake up in the morning and make a cup of joe, add some of your donut-infused dip to your coffee to give its bitterness a dose of glazed sweetness.

Vanilla has a knack for elevating similarly brown flavors like cinnamon, so the next time you make a mug of piping hot spiced apple cider, try topping it off with your Zebra Cake dip. Or, if you've started with Little Debbie's Frosted Fudge Cakes, consider adding some to a strawberry milkshake to channel the popular fruity, chocolate-covered confection. It would seem that, regardless of which product is your favorite, dessert dip is a versatile way to enjoy Little Debbie snacks anew.
