*House of Fauci’s received samples from NuNaturals to create a fantastic and somewhat healthy recipe, all opinions and thoughts are my own*
With the holidays come family gatherings and office parties and with family gatherings and office parties come a lot of food. Often times during these gatherings we are so happy that we tend to eat and not even think about how much we are eating and then wonder how we gained so much weight. The great thing about NuNaturals is that they are sugar free but still have a naturally sweet taste. I was provided with a bottle of Peppermint Liquid NuStevia so I decided to concoct the perfect NuNaturals Peppermint Dip recipe for the perfect holiday gatherings.
I love a creamy dip that is intended for fruit or for pretzels, so I decided to create a dip that included cream cheese and since NuNaturals was nice enough to send me my favorite flavor, I just had to turn this dip into a peppermint dip. As I stated above, the great thing about NuNaturals is that there is no sugar and their products taste naturally sweet.
- 8 oz low fat (if you prefer) cream cheese
- 3 tsp Liquid NuStevia Simple Syrup
- 15 drops of Pure Liquid Peppermint NuStevia
- 1/2 cup Andes Peppermint candies
- Fruit of Choice
- Pretzels
- Mix softened cream cheese, simple syrup, peppermint NuStevia and candies together and blend.
- Once mixed, use as a dip for your favorite fruit or pretzel.
I think what I love most about NuNatural products, besides being sugar free and having a natural taste, is that a little goes a long way. When you are sent the 2oz tube of Peppermint NuStevia you might think to yourself that it will not last because it is so small but in reality it only takes a few drops to add a nice flavor. My NuNaturals Peppermint Dip has such a wonderful taste, especially when used with pretzels, that it is truly hard to resist, but luckily most of the sugar has been removed because of using the NuNaturals product.

I use Stevia for everything— but have not heard of this brand, I will try it out for sure.
A friend of mine uses NuStevia and swears by the stuff. I don’t use artificial sweeteners I do love peppermint and this looks like it would be great to take to a church potluck.

Yummy! I can’t wait to try.
This sounds wonderful! It would be perfect to bring to our church potluck. Thank you!
I never would have thought of making peppermint dip. I am so making this recipe.

Okay, that is a brilliant idea! I love peppermint and never ever thought of making it into a dip. YUM!

I have never had a peppermint dip before! This looks very interesting and I like that you can serve pretzels with it because sometimes pretzels on their own are somewhat boring.
This sounds like a really festive dip for the holiday season. Peppermint is one of my favorite flavors to play with.
Yum. This sounds perfect. Peppermint is so refreshing

I’m glad you said ‘sugar free BUT with a naturally sweet taste’ …. as much as I enjoy the merits of sugar free items, I dislike when they fail to provide that dessert comfort.
Your peppermint tip looks really delicious! We don’t use tips in our house much, but I might give this recipe a try because I’m a huge peppermint fan.
