pkgs. cream cheese Put all ingredients in a crock pot and heat thoroughly. Stir occasionally. Serve with crackers or tortilla chips. Note: Carol cut this recipe in half for the potluck yesterday.

Cheese Dip In crock pot, cut cheese in chunks, mix with chili and sauce. Stir often to keep from sticking. Serve with any kind of chips. White Chocolate Snack Mix
Don't be afraid to try other cereals, candy, or
nuts with this recipe such as salted almonds, granola, butterscotch
chips, popcorn, Fritos, etc. This recipe is only a guide to
showcase your creativity. Just be sure you use a combination of
sweet and salty in the mix. For mine I used popcorn, corn pops,
Fritos, M and M's, salted nuts, and pretzels. I also used three
packages of white chocolate chips to coat my mix. I took all my
"leftover or orphaned" cereals from home that would work in this,
mixed it up, added the nuts, M&M and pretzels, and the students went
wild for it.

etc that you are adding and set aside.

Chill. Add soda before serving. You can dress this up with a few
fresh orange slices and lemon slices. WEDDING/RECEPTION PUNCH FOR 50 1 can 46 oz. pineapple juice Mix together. We sliced thinly some oranges and lemons to float on the surface and added some ice to the punch. This was very well received by all and everyone kept coming back to the kitchen or asking the server what was in the punch. You could mix the first 4 ingredients together and just before serving add in the ginger ale if you are serving a large crowd. We did several batches of the base punch so it was quick and easy to just add in the ginger ale.Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Ball 1 8oz package cream cheese - softened chopped pecans (optional) Graham Cracker sticks (can also use chocolate or vanilla graham cracker cookies - ex. Teddy grahams) In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Stir in mini chocolate chips. Mixture will be very soft, form in a ball shape (as much as possible) on plate, cover with plastic and put in refrigerator for several hours or overnight.After it has chilled you can use a knife to better shape the ball . Gently warm the Dove ice-cream topping just to the point that it can be drizzled on top of ball, but make sure it is not too hot or it will melt the ball. Sprinkle pecans on top. You can chill again until you are ready to serve and it will keep for several days. Serve with graham cracker sticks. THIS IS SO GOOD!
