Preparation:

1: Prepare the Creamy Base

1. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy.
2. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until fully combined and fluffy.

2: Add Flavor and Color

1. Stir in the vanilla extract, peppermint extract, and a few drops of green food coloring.
2. Mix well until the dip is evenly colored and flavored. Adjust the green hue with more food coloring, if desired.

3: Fold in Sprinkles

1. Gently fold in the festive green sprinkles to avoid overmixing and breaking them apart.

4: Garnish and Chill

1. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
2. Garnish with extra green sprinkles and mini shamrock-shaped candies for a festive look.
3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
