Remove enough white and/or red seedless grapes from their stems to layer 3 deep in a 9X13" glass dish. (Glass because their prettiness can show through.) Rinse, pat dry, and put in dish.

Blend one 8 oz. brick of cream cheese with 8 oz. sour cream and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Spread over grapes--a little challenging since the grapes want to roll.

Finely crush 3 Butterfinger candy bars and mix with 1/2 cup chopped pecans and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Sprinkle evenly over cream cheese topping.

TAH DAH!! You have just turned a perfectly healthy fruit into a rich, calorie-laden dessert!
