Recipe Swap: Pumpkin Pie Dip

It's that time again!

Another Recipe Swap is here. The theme for this swap is blogger's choice. I was assigned the blog Does Not Cook Well With Others.  It was very hard to decide what to make, but I knew I needed something easy and quick considering I could possibly be delivering my son at anytime.  I have been pretty obsessed with pumpkin pie over the past few weeks and have been wanting to try making a dip. I saw a recipe for pumpkin pie dip and decided that now was as good a time as any! I scaled down the sugar because 2 cups seemed like it might be way too sweet for me. I was very happy that I decreased the amount because the sweetness was perfect for me. I actually made this before Thanksgiving and we had it with a few other appetizers. My family loved the flavors (and the extra pumpkin pie fix!). Thank you for a great recipe. Another big thanks to Sarah at A Taste of Home Cooking for organizing the swaps!
