Pumpkin Dip

Nothing says Fall like a Pumpkin candle, Pumpkin Pie or Pumpkin Dip!

My dear friend invited me over for a wonderful girls game night last week. We each brought a little munchie and a drink. The evening was a wonderful time of friends spending time together and meeting new friends.

One of the attendees brought a wonderful pumpkin dip made from a mix packet that she especially purchases for the Fall in  a tiny town in West Texas. All of the ladies sitting around chatting tried to figure out the recipe and low and behold, our hostess with the mostess had made it before and shared her recipe! The great thing is that she has two versions.
