# Steps:

Take a big bowl and beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until it's smooth without any lumps. This makes it extra creamy.

Carefully fold the whipped topping in until everything blends perfectly and gets fluffy.

Mix in drops of pink coloring until you love the shade, then gently combine half your sprinkles or candies, saving the rest for decoration.
05 -
Scoop the dip into a serving dish and sprinkle the remaining candies or sprinkles on top. Chill it for 30 minutes or more so the flavors come together.
