So I didn’t mention this yet, but today was my TREAT DAY!
The timing couldn’t get any better with this weekend’s Bake-a-Thon. I had plenty of cookies, but wanted a few other snacks to round out my spread.
I stared with a few old favorites…
And tried a new White Bean Dip
This recipe didn’t turn out as good as I had expected. It was a little watery. So I added in a few pinto beans, some garlic, and dill. I’m not so sure about it, but we shall see.
Upon further inspection, it seems that I thought the recipe called for 2 cups not 2 cans of white beans. Oops! The recipe looks promising, so I am sharing it as written (although these pictures don’t do it any justice). I will definitely give it another try, and see what my coworkers think of my mish mash version.

The BOY and I loved this Pumpkin Dip when I made it this fall, so I was excited to make it again. Except this time, I spiced it up with the seasonal pumpkin pudding…sooo good!
I served it with graham and animal crackers. Here is the recipe!
Along with this unbelievably sweet and rich Peanut Butter Cookie Dip. I have been wanting to make Sugar Cookie Dip from Little Bitty Bakes. But, the store was sold out of sugar cookie mix…twice!
So I decided to go with peanut butter instead!
All I can say is…good decision! This recipe takes just a few minutes, and only includes three four ingredients.
I added in some chocolate chips!

They make the perfect 4:00pm afternoon snack, which I look forward to each day.
