We are huge fans of recipes that are not only yummy but also fast and easy! And this Cream Peanut Dip certainly fits the bill. This dip is perfect for a mid-afternoon snack with some slices of apple or pear. The kids will love it for a quick bite after school. And since we are headed into football season...
it is the perfect appetizer to bring along to any tailgating party.
It can easily be doubled or tripled to handle the crowd. Mix up your fruits and even include some graham cracker sticks like those from Back to Nature.
