Creamy Caramel Dip

Yes...I am still going on about the apples. This afternoon I was hankering for something sweet and a little salty and kinda healthy, but still indulgent. I'd read a few recipes for Caramel Apple Dip and Cookie Dough Dip and wanted to marry the two into a tasty treat.

After satisfying myself with a few bites I offered this platter to my kids and their friends and it was declared a winner! Seconds were requested and they actually knew what the ingredients were.

Not too shabby mama, not too shabby.
