  4. Gently fold the mashed fruits into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
  5. Add mandarin oranges to the dip and fold them in carefully to maintain their shape.
  6. Melt the bright pink candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, microwaving in 20-second intervals until smooth.

  8. Refrigerate the dip for about 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve with assorted dippers.
