Bring back some memories with this easy pumpkin cheese dip recipe.

Easy Pumpkin Cheese Dip Recipe

1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Beat everything together with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Makes 1-1/2 cups.

You can serve with any cracker, but it definitely is set off well with a darker cracker, like rye. You can spread the crackers around a festive fall plate, in a circle around the rim of the plate, then add a bowl of the dip into the middle.

Please discard any unused portions after 24 hours.
