Heath Bar Apple Dip

mix 1/2 cup sugar, 3/4 cup brown sugar, 8 oz. cream cheese (softened), 1tsp. vanilla, until smooth.
Add 1/2 bag Heath Bar Brickle until well blended.  Serves best with Gala apples.

Hot Pepper Peach Dip

1 (6 oz.) jar hot pepper peach jam

1 TBSP chopped seeded jalepeno (I used canned)

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp chopped parsley

1 tsp dehydrated minced onion

2 cups (8 oz.) shredded mozzarella cheese (I leave this off...don't think it adds much to the end product)

Blend the cream cheese, jam, jalapeno, paprika, parsley and onion in a large mixing bowl using a hand mixer at medium speed.  Spoon the dip into 2 serving bowls.  Sprinkle 1/2 the mozz. cheese over each bowl.  Cover the bowls and refrigerate until ready to serve.
