Ridgely, this is good. I used an 8 oz. package of plain cream cheese instead of the chive & onion cream cheese. However, it did require a good splash of Tabasco! Thanks for posting...Janet

Absolutely delish. I made this for a potluck, and everyone raved about this spread. Comes together very easily, and the taste is just yummy. Will be adding this to our Christmas menu for sure! Thanks!
