This is one of my all-time absolute favorite recipes for entertaining. No joke.
Try this.
And I'm not usually even a fruit dip fan. But this is not your ordinary fruit dip. It's light, fluffy, and oh-so-flavorful.
I've had this recipe for so long that, at this point, I have no idea where I got it. I just know it's fabulous. Mom decided to "borrow" it for her wine tasting party, and this was one of the menu items I was responsible for during our preparation. On most of the dishes, I played the role of sous-chef - but on this one I got to take the lead!
This wonderfully flavorful fluffiness starts with sour cream (isn't that the base of almost all dips??), Cool Whip, and a pretty good helping of brown sugar. Sounding good already, isn't it? Ohhhh, trust me ... it gets much better.
Then we add the friends - Grand Marnier, dark spiced rum, and Triple Sec. All I have to say is ... yum.
Mix that all together and then let it chill for a few hours. The brown sugar will really soften up and kind of melt into the dip. Give it a really good stir when you get it out of the refrig, and then serve it up with a selection of assorted fruits. Divine!
Remember how I told you my Mom is really creative? Well, here's another one of her amazing creations. Check out these hors d' oeuvre picks my Mom made. They're perfect for placing alongside a fruit platter. A little fancier than toothpicks, don't ya think? And she's so sweet she even made me a set.

Grand Marnier & Spiced Rum Fruit Dip
Source: A Friend
Ingredients
1/2 c. sour cream
1 c. Cool Whip
4 T. brown sugar
1 1/2 T. Grand Marnier
1 T. dark spiced rum
1 T. Triple Sec
Directions
1. Combine sour cream, Cool Whip, and brown sugar. Add liquors and whisk.
2. Refrigerate for several hours. Stir well before serving. If the liquors "settle out," don't worry - just whisk or stir them back in. Serve with an assortment of berries and fruit.
P.S. - Mark likes this with bananas the best! Sometimes we spoon the leftovers over sliced bananas and eat it as a dessert. Tasty.
