Katie's Grape Salad

This salad has become Katie's trademark recipe.  She can't show up without it anymore (like she did at Easter).  She made it Sunday for Mother's Day....Granny would have definitely scolded her if she hadn't.  .  I took notes as she made it so I could make one to take to my Master Food Safety Advisor Class yesterday.  It was a hit with several recipe requests.  I posted another version earlier thinking it was the same......but it is not.  So here is Katie's recipe.

Katie's Grape Salad
2 bags of grapes - (I used 4 lbs. red seedless)
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
8 oz. whipped topping, thawed
1/4 c. brown sugar + more for topping
1/4 to 1/2 c. chopped nuts (she used peanuts this time, but has used walnuts, pecans, almonds, etc.)
Wash and stem grapes and set aside.  Cream together:  cream cheese, whipped topping and 1/4 c. brown sugar.  Stir in grapes.  Top with more brown sugar and nuts.  Chill until serving time.

Could be served in place of dessert.......very yummy!!!
