This looks like just the perfect thing for me to take to our Thanksgiving dinner!! =)
=D Yeah, I am thinking of taken it to ours! If you guys get together a few hours before the actual meal is ready like we tend to, I thought it would be a good appetizer to keep everyone outta the kitchen snitch'en! haha!

I made this and took it to our Thanksgiving get-together. It turned out really good. Everyone seemed to like it. My favorite thing to eat it with was Granny Apple slices, but also served Club and Ritz crackers, pretzel sticks, and carrot and celery sticks. I actually made two, but one would have been plenty. Went further than I thought.
So another good one, Laura! =)
*Granny SMITH apple slices
Wouldn't think I'd forget that particular word.....LOL! =)
