Notes
- Cover and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave or at 350°F in the oven until warmed throughout.
- Soften the cream cheese before making this recipe. Take it out of the fridge around an hour before you want to make this recipe.
- It's quickest and easiest to make this dip with a stand or electric mixer. You can make it by hand, but be sure that the ingredients are well combined.
- Serve with vegetable sticks, crackers and anything else you can dip!
