        Im from the Midwest and never heard of this dish but i know how “Midwest Healthy” works. So I’m willing to bet in the “unhealthy version” you basically double the sugar and possibly also the cream cheese. Oh and switch to full fat creme cheese.

        Sometimes you do something outrageous like serve it ontop of a banana split and/or add copious amounts of chocolate syrup.
