This is yummy with a scoop of FF, SF vanilla ice cream on top! Let it melt a little and what a treat!

[ only 7 ingredients & can be a salad or fruit desert]
2 to 3 #'s green grapes
2 to 3 #'s red grapes
8 oz. cream cheese [ I use reduced fat], brought to room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream [ could use vanilla yogurt]
1/2 cup sugar [ I use 1/4 cup]
1 teaspoon vanilla [ I just splash to taste]
Topping
1 cup brown sugar [ this is way to much sugar for me..... I use about 1/4 to 1/2 cup]
1 cup favorite nuts, toasted & chopped, Pecans are what is called for, but almonds & walnuts are also good
serves 15

Wash & stem grapes & set aside [ Amy often uses just red grapes as they tend to be sweeter]
In a large bowl cream the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar & vanilla together. Add the grapes & stir to coat all the grapes. Pour into serving dish of choice. top with brown sugar, sprinkled evenly over the top; add the toasted nuts.
Refrigerate over night. [ I have made it & served it almost immediately....recipe calls for chilling for over night.]
*Alternate way to do the topping is to chop the nuts & sugar together in the food processor to coat the nuts with sugar.
**Second alternate way to do the topping is to place the nuts & brown sugar in a hot oven on a jelly roll pan or quick release aluminum foil for about 7 or 8 minutes; this caramelizes the sugar to the nuts & toasts the nuts at the same time, stir a couple times, cool, break apart over the salad.
