    Based on other recipes, I really think this recipe had a type-o, and it should have read 2 blocks of cream cheese. That is the way I made it, and it turned out well. DH can't stop eating it!

    I agree with Connie. My Bro-in-law makes this ALL the time with 2 (8 oz) blocks of cream cheese and it is the BOMB!!! Instead of cheddar cheese, he uses bleu cheese and it is fantastic. Someone might want to let Skssandy that there's a typo.
