Instructions

    8 ounces cream cheese, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 6 ounces vanilla yogurt
  • Add the creamy mixture to the sliced grapes, and combine; set aside.

Candied Pecans

  • In a large nonstick skillet, over medium-high heat add the brown and water. Stir frequently until the mixture is rapidly bubbling
    4 tablespoons light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons water
  • Add in the pecans and be sure they are all coated. Continue to stir for about 3 minutes making sure not to burn the caramel. Most of the liquid will be gone.
    1 cup pecan halves
  • Immediately remove the pan from the heat and transfer the pecans to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Be sure they are in a single layer because they will harden and stick to one another if not.
  • Sprinkle candied pecans on the grape salad before serving! Enjoy!
