GRAPES FOR DESSERT

2-3 c. green seedless grapes
2-3 c. red seedless grapes
1 pkg. cream cheese
16 oz. sour cream
about 1/2 c. white sugar
about 1/2 to 3/4 c. brown sugar
about 1 c. praline pecans

mix the cream cheese, sour cream and white sugar with your mixer until it is smooth and well blended. Pour over the grapes and mix well. Pour this into a serving dish. Then sprinkle with the brown sugar. And finally, top with chopped praline pecans.

They told me it is to die for. We'll see!

I make this, but just use regular pecans, not praline ones. I'm not even sure what those are. Anyway, it's wonderful and always a hit!

This is wonderful! Nancy had it at canasta one night and I could have skipped the meal and just eaten a whole plate of this stuff.

Praline pecans are TO DIE FOR! Our Ladies Aux. sells them every year during the holidays. They are pretty much exactly what their name indicates: A pecan that has been "dipped" in a praline mixture and dried or baked. YUM! Makes me think of Christmas! Which by the way is only 118 days away!!

I made this last night and we had some today. It is fantastic!!!! Thanks for sharing this recipe. My husband loves lemon ice box pie, so I knew he would like it. My parents loved it too. My brother Scott (who generally hates nuts) ate it and liked it in spite of the pecans. I have more company coming in tonight, so we'll see how it goes over.

I made one this week for my brother and his wife. However, I forgot when I was at the store I needed cool whip for one of the layers PLUS the topping. It is just as good without the topping.

I am going to have to try this recipe!!! Sounds great.
