Notes

The cream cheese needs to be softened properly so you don’t end up chasing lumps around the bow when mixing.
If you notice too much grease on top from the pepperoni after baking, blot them with paper kitchen towel.
Serve your pizza dip hot! It’s really best when the cheese is melty and the top is bubbly.
