This is a fabulous summer appetizer!  if you remember, mine weren't nearly this cute or perfect looking- but they were delicious.


1 sliced cucumber (I left the peel on)

soft fresh bread (any sort will do- I used a white presliced italian bread loaf from the bakery) cut into small pieces

4 oz cream cheese softened
ranch packet seasoning to taste. It's really strong so I suggest starting with just a few shakes
1 dallop sour cream


mix it all together and let sit six or more hours if possible.  I didn't do this and they were still very good.
spread dip on bread. place cucumber on top.  you can sprinkle with dill if you have it.

5 snickers
1 tub of cool whip
sprinkle of cinnamon (optional)

chop up the apples.
chop up the snickers.

*It is easier to chop the snickers if they are cold, so put them in the freezer or fridge before you cut them.
