Red and green grapes

1/4 cup pecans

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup brown sugar

2 packs cream cheese

1 8 oz container of sour cream

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla flavoring

In a mixer combine cream cheese, granulated sugar, sour cream, and flavoring until smooth.  While that combines, wash, dry and remove the grapes from stalk(set aside about 8 to 10 grapes for garnishing).  Also, in another container( I use a zip baggy),  crush the pecans, add the brown sugar and cinnamon.  Combine the cream mixture with the grapes, put it in glass dish, arrange the grapes that you set aside on top and sprinkle the brown sugar and pecan mixture over the top(just use enough to garnish the top and save the rest for the next time).
