- You can substitute Valentine sprinkles with any colorful candy or nuts for different themes or textures.
- For a dairy-free option, try using a non-dairy cream cheese alternative.
- The dip can be prepared a few hours ahead and refrigerated; bring to room temperature before serving for best flavor and consistency.
- Serve immediately after assembling to keep cookies crisp.
