Sharing is caring!

This delicious cream cheese fruit dip recipe is a yummy companion for apples, strawberries, and other fruits.  You can serve it as an appetizer at your next family gathering, alongside your own family dinner, or just have it for a tasty afternoon snack all by yourself!  (I recently discovered it also is amazing on toast or warm rolls!)

I couldn’t really say where I got this recipe…I have had it for years.  I keep it in my “favorite recipe” binder that I have.  (I’ll have to show it to you sometime.  It’s such a great collection with protected pages so that they don’t get yucky if I spill on them while I’m cooking!)
