Expert Tips

To toast pecans, sprinkle in ungreased heavy skillet. Cook over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until pecans begin to brown, then stirring constantly until pecans are light brown.

If you like, scrap the jack-o'-lantern idea, and serve this dip in a bowl instead.

Tasted so much better than I thought it would..kind of like a pumpkin cheesecake :) I did it minus the pumpkin face for a fall party, though I think a few more nuts should be added, I also added a little brown sugar & then served it with gingersnaps. I plan to make it again for Thanksgiving :)
