Original Recipe HERE
This is based on the recipe linked to above, but I have a similar recipe bookmarked that is peanut butter-based. I added the yogurt and peanut butter of that one to this guy, and this is the end result. It's a good fruit dip because the cream cheese and peanut butter ensure it won't be too sweet (unlike popular ones that involve Cool Whip or marshmallow fluff). I thought it was a success, and my kids ate all of theirs and asked for more.
We dipped apple slices and grapes in it and would've used bananas next. Also, I served carrots and broccoli with a separate dip alongside this, and my kids both dipped their vegetables in this one instead. Whatever...as long as they're eating the green stuff, I don't care about the unorthodox fashion. I think this would be good with graham crackers and Nilla wafers, in which case I might throw in some mini chocolate chips to make it more of a dessert dish.
