A very rich dish that we make on special occasions as a pre-dinner nibble.  It is also great for a casual get together where finger food is served.  Be warned though, this dish is filled with all sorts of goodies combined to make an irresistible dish.  Problem is, you need a lot of will power with this as you will not want to stop eating it!  When the dip is about quarter left start to break off loaf crusts and eat with the dip.
