This recipe is the most fattening way to eat grapes. Well, maybe deep frying them would be worse. It’s also the most terrific way to eat grapes. I’ve not met a single person that doesn’t like this grape salad recipe. Have you picked up on a common theme in most of the recipes I post? CREAM CHEESE! I love cream cheese! This recipe is great if you are serving a crowd. You can make it easily the day before, and it makes lots. You can put it in a 9×13 pan, layer in a trifle bowl, or serve it in your favorite bowl. The main thing is the brown sugar and optional pecan topping gets on everybody’s serving.
