A party hit!!! Brought this to a cousin's home for New Years. She's famous for loving fruit dips. And she loved this one! The sweetness gets toned down a bit (in my mind, a good idea!!) because you spread it on crackers (I used Ritz and Wheatables). But I think it you want to continue the sweet theme, you could use Graham crackers. If you have to bring "something" to a party, this is a good choice - - it'll stand out amongst the cheese balls and chippy dips!
