Notes
- You can customize the color by adjusting the amount or type of food coloring.
- For a less sweet version, reduce the amount of marshmallow fluff slightly.
- The dip is best served chilled but can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Substitute candy eyeballs with Halloween sprinkles or gummy worms for a different festive look.
- Use gluten-free pretzels or crackers to make this dip gluten-free friendly.
