I go a little crazy over dips. I'm a finger food type of gal. If you see me at a party, I'll be hanging out around the food table. The next day I hardly eat anything at all because of the "graze fest" that took place the night before. I'll be the first to admit I have a problem. The other problem I've admitted before here on the blog and I'll admit again is I'm not a big fan of fruit. I'm trying to eat more and the blog is definitely helping me try new things, but my love for fruit still has a long way to go.

HOWEVER, I think I may have eaten three apples while consuming this Circus Animal Cookie Dip. This dip is CRAZY good. It combines so many of my favorite things like Cool Whip, circus animal cookies and cake mix! Throw a little yogurt in there too and you have a well-rounded meal. Well, ok - not quite. But, it's close.

If you're wondering whether or not you should throw the cookies into the food processor or just do it the way I did with the rolling pin, I would choose the latter. The larger chunks of cookies literally make the dip.

And just for fun, you could throw some extra sprinkles on top, too. Because, let's face it, everyone loves sprinkles. If you have an aversion to fruit like I do, you need to make this dip. I'm going in.

And just to make sure I don't look like that much of a pig, I just dipped the end of this apple slice. Off camera you may not recognize there is an apple slice under all of the dip. I'm being polite. . .for you.

Just to let you know, the recipe actually makes quite a bit. You may find yourself consuming the other half of the dip that didn't fit into your serving bowl. I wonder if I could serve this as a salad with the apple slices cut up and mixed right in? What do you think? Too over the top?

I'll let you know if I try it. If I do, you can certainly expect me to post about it. It's kind of like Snickers Salad without the Snickers - throw in some animal cookies instead? Hmmm. Let me think about it while I eat the rest of my apple. I may need a bit more dip for that!
