Make Fruit More Fun With This Simple Dip

Most kids like the sweetness of fruit, but if yours don’t, or if they don’t eat enough fruit, this fun dip may help.

Put one 8oz block of cream cheese (cut up if necessary), ½ cup of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla in a blender or food processor. Whirl until smooth. If needed, you can thin it a bit with a tablespoon of milk.

Let the kids dunk slices of fruit into the dip. If you like, you can also provide a dish of finely chopped peanuts or pecans (or any other nut). Dip a slice of fruit into the cream cheese mixture, then roll it in the nuts for a crunchy variation.

Enjoy!
