This was excellent. Being diabetic, I love finding a recipe that is so easy to to convert to diabetic-friendly (which means watching sugar AND fat). I used Sugar Twin's Brown Sugar, and low fat (nuefchatel) cream cheese. Because Sugar Twin has a funky aftertaste, I added a splash (less than a TBS) of sugar free caramel drink syrup (the kind that you use to flavor coffee drinks. Huge hit! Definitely will be making this one again!

YUMMY ... that is about all there is to say. Apple, green and red slices and banana chips is what I used. Pears and cookies would be great too but I was using them in other recipes. It was easy, delish and a big hit. Thx for a great dip that I hadn't tried before. Not a drop left! Thx, Kim

I really didn't make this, my neighbor did. She brought it over to our Halloween party and it was soooo good! I think when I make it, I will go with Lightly Toasted suggestion to use a diabetic friendly sugar, like maybe the Splenda Brown Sugar. Thanks for the post! Yum!
