Very nice cream cheese. It is much better after it sits. I tried it right after making it and found it kind of bland but the next day it sure was packed with heat. Thanks for posting.

Just mush it up with your hands and don't even bother with the mayo and garlic powder

This couldn't be easier! I used a very large jalapeno, which was perfect heat-wise. I noticed it did get hotter the longer it sat, but it actually did not sit too long...we ate it too fast!
