I have a recipe for Crunchy Cheese Dip but I don't think it's Pampered Chef's. We often make this during the fall.
8 oz pineapple chunks (in juice), drained (I leave it a little moist)
2 8 oz cream cheese blocks, softened
8 oz water chestnuts, chopped finely
1/4 c fresh chives, chopped
1 t salt (I have also used Lawry's salt)
1/4 t freshly ground black or white pepper
1 c pecans, chopped
1 T chopped fresh parsley, optional
Mix all except parsley together and chill for about two hours or until ready to serve. Garnish with parsley.
