Recipe: Caramel Apple Dip

If you love the caramel apple dip you buy in the produce section of the grocery store, but can't justify spending the money--here is a recipe to make it for around $1.50--depending where you buy your cream cheese.

1/8 c. water
16 unwrapped caramels or about 1/2 c. kraft caramel bits (what an awesome invention!)

Directions:
Mix softened cream cheese, brown sugar and vanilla in medium size bowl. Mix water and caramels in a small sauce pan and put on med-low heat until the caramels are all melted, stirring frequently. Pour caramel sauce into cream cheese mixture and stir well.

Note: You can omit the caramel and water and it is still a creamy and delicious apple dip!
