Pumpkin Dip

There are only a handful of things in life that are better than chocolate, and this is may not be one of them.

However, it is a very close second.  If you like pumpkin pie, you will love this.  Hey, even if you don’t like pumpkin pie, chances are you will still love this delicious dip.  After being introduced to it a few years ago, it has become a staple to my fall, Thanksgiving, and Christmas appetizers, and I’ve even given it out as Christmas gifts.

It is super easy to make, perhaps only 5 minutes total.  The dip delivers a creamy texture with a kick of spice, and the pretzels add a satisfying crunch.

Okay, so are you ready for one of the easiest yet tastiest recipes for fall?

Here it is:

Pumpkin Dip

1 can pumpkin (16 oz) 1-1/2 c powdered sugar

1 pkg cream cheese (8 oz)

1 tbs cinnamon

1 tbs pie spice

1 tbs orange juice

2 packages pretzel rods Blend all ingredients except pretzel rods together on medium in a blender.  Serve with pretzels.  If allowed to chill for a few hours, the dip will become thicker and even more tantalizing.
