Big get together last night at a neighbor’s house and I got to be in charge of the food!  Woo Hoo!  It was a great day!  There were about 40 people there and it started at 7:00 so I decided to go with appetizers and treats, all finger foods.  I did a veggie tray (which I got at Costco for $10 which included 4 pounds of veggies and dip, bargain!) and I made a fruit tray or rather Bob made the fruit tray as he did all the chopping of the fruit.  We did strawberries, red grapes, pineapple and cantaloupe.  I thought a fruit dip would be fun so I searched around and found this one on three different blogs, they were all slightly different but I figured if it was on three blogs that I found rather quickly then it must be good and it was so tasty!  And so easy!  So here are the three blogs it was on:  “Six Sister’s Stuff”, “Iowa Girl Eats” and “Simply Real Moms”.  The following instructions will incorporate all three of these variations so that you can choose which sounds best to you.

basic recipe:

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened (1 blog called for whipped cream cheese and the other 2 for just regular cream cheese, I used regular this time)

1 (7 oz) jar Marshmallow Cream

additions:

1 cup powdered sugar (I added this)

2 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate (I did not add this, this time)

Mix all ingredients together until smooth.  (I did this in my mixer, one blogger used a whisk.)
