It wasn’t until junior year in college that I began to learn the greatness of pumpkins. I used to eat pumpkin pie mix straight from the can or with a little caramel topping in a bowl in my room for a meal – err, snack between classes. My mom is proud I have evolved since those days but I still value pumpkin and its ability to be deliciously transformed into a number of delectable treats.

Welcome pumpkin dip. If you need an easy, fan-favorite dish, then pumpkin dip is your calling. The dip goes great with graham crackers, fruits, vanilla wafers, sugar cookies, and much more…or do what I do and store a batch in the fridge for spoonfuls throughout the day…our secret.
