This was a favorite of my Mom's....We kids liked to dip Ruffles potato chips in this, but my Mom used to spread it on buttery crackers...Usually, after a party (specifically Kentucky Derby parties), the next day I'd see my Mom spooning this onto a little plate and eating it just by itself! So tasty....So fresh!!! YUM!
