Monday Recipe - "Nobody Better Steal My...Grape Butterfinger Salad!"

Pictured: 1/2 recipe with too much dressing

One of my painting friends served this salad at a get together.  Now, I'm diabetic and I thought I would pass.  But one after the other, my friends all tried it and were raving; so I tried a spoonful.  Oh my goodness - what an incredible flavor!  I've never tasted anything quite like this!  You must try this recipe.  Take it to a pot luck dinner and you will be the hit of the event!

The recipe calls for you to use 2 different colors of seedless grapes.  This is mostly because the dish is prettier if you do.  At my Publix store, red grapes were $1.79 a pound and green grapes were $4.99 a pound.  So I used all red grapes.  It really tastes the same anyway.  I think the dish would go farther if you halved the grapes; but that's a lot of work.

Internet versions of this recipe call for a lot more white and brown sugar; but my friend said she used a lot less than the recipe called for and believe me, it was delicious just as it was!  I used Splenda and Brown Sugar Splenda.  Of course, there is no diet-conscious substitution for the Butterfingers!

GRAPE BUTTERFINGER SALAD 

2 cups red seedless grapes
2 cups green seedlessgrapes
4 oz of fat free cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/2 C fat free sour cream
2 tbsp. of sugar
2 tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 crushed up butterfinger candy bars on top.

Just mix together everything except the grapes and candy bar.  Fold in the grapes.  Put in a pretty bowl and top with the crushed up butterfingers.  The amount of butterfinger depends  on how deep/wide your bowl is.  If you have leftovers, I'll be very surprised!
