Recipe #47 - Caramel Toffee Fruit Dip

Fall is in the air here in Utah.  This is my favorite time of year.  The cooler weather, the changing leaves, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin donuts, pumpkin smoothies, pumpkin bread, candy pumpkins...and crisp apples.  So it just seemed very fitting to make this recipe this time of a year. 

You can find this recipe on page 8 or online here.

It is crazy easy!  You mix together the cream cheese, brown sugar, and vanilla.

You could sprinkle some toffee bits over the top and be done at this point.  Or there is also a variation of this recipe where you add some cinnamon and nutmeg to it.  Both sounded good to me, so I divided the dip in half, and we tried them both.

When you do the variation, you just mix in a pinch of nutmeg and a teaspoon of cinnamon.  (I used 1/2 teaspoon since I was only using half of the dip.)

Two different dips ready for taste-tasting!

But don't forget to add some yummy crunchy toffee bits to the top!

We cut up a bunch of apples and went to town on these!  Both dips were loved by the whole family, but my kids preferred the basic recipe while my husband and I preferred the variation.
