yum yum yum. yum.


I love this dip! It's the perfect "sweet" appetizer in a crowd of otherwise savories. And with just a few ingredients, it's so easy to whip up for a gathering.

This is the exciting day that I met Princess Diana! Or, it was baby me and angsty teen Amy circa 1987. Either one is plausible.

the recipe

ingredients


  1. 8oz. cream cheese, softened
  2. 1 cup brown sugar
  3. 1/2tsp. vanilla
  4. 1 cup peanuts

directions


  1. With an electric mixer, blend cream cheese, brown sugar, and vanilla for a LONG time until it's totally combined and there are virtually no more sugar granules (this requires lots of taste testing; you're welcome.)
  2. Stir in peanuts.
  3. Serve with apple slices - to make things easier, I buy the bag of pre-sliced apples. And if you're anything like me, you'll eat the leftover dip the next morning with just a spoon.
