Note
For best results, use light brown sugar for a milder molasses flavor, or dark brown sugar for a deeper, richer taste.
If the dip is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or cream to reach your desired consistency.
Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a dash of nutmeg for a seasonal twist.
