Ooh La La Aloha Loaf!

I had this dip years ago at a party I attended when I was working as a manicurist. A fellow nail technician made this and then shared the recipe with me. I have been making this appetizer ever since and it is always a hit. I have been known on occasion to add a small can of crushed pineapple (well-drained) to the dip to give it more of a sweet Hawaiian taste but that just depends on my mood.
