Lord Honey, I'm combining my love for National Cherry Pie Day & St. Paddy's Day with this lush cherry confection. Any Irishman worth his four-leaf clover loves cherries--so why not make some "Slap Yo Cherry Pie Dip" to enjoy and share as part of your
St. Patrick's Day festivities.
From its tart cherries, to the dreamy, cream cheese, to the crunchy almond-covered pie dough chips--it may just become a year-round treat.
