When my best friend moved away, her mom's good friend made a cheese spread for the going-away party that was so good I spent an entire year trying to find where she got the mix. I finally found it online, but at $12.50 each after shipping, I decided I could probably come close enough on my own. So, with a little experimentation, this is what I came up with. I warn you, it's quite addicting and you'll want to stay a polite distance from others when speaking after you eat it. You can put the dry ingredients together and store them in ziploc bags or small containers so that you can just pull out a mix and add it to the wet ingredients in a snap. I serve it with crackers or beer bread. It can also be rolled into a cheese ball or log for a nice presentation if you're feeling ambitious.

SERVES 4 -8 , 2 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
1 teaspoon dried chives
1 teaspoon instant minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
4 ounces shredded cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons white wine

Directions

1
Combine all of the dried spices. These can be stored for later use or used immediately.
2
Mix together spices, softened cream cheese and wine until it is well incorporated and uniform.
3
Stir in shredded cheese.
4
Keep refrigerated until about 1/2 hour before serving. I recommend letting it rest in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the spices re-hydrate and the flavors to come out.
5
If you have any left-overs they can be safely refrigerated and stored for up to a week or two in an air-tight container.

When I made up the dry ingredients for this, I could already tell that it was something that we would like, so, I set out 8 small bowls and made it 8 times. I put it in those small plastic bags that are used for jewelry, wrote the directions for adding the wet ingredients and stapeled to the bag. I only have one left, so, I'll be making up another batch soon. We loved it with pita chips. Also, I used up a small amount that I had left over by spooning it over hot broccoli. Yum!!

Well..........YUM! I changed a couple things. I can't stand onions so I used dried sliced garlic (that I crushed) insted of the onion flakes. I then used onion powder (which I CAN stand) in place of the garlic powder. So really just a switcharoo. Left out the chives cuz I don't like. I did add some crushed up dried tomato and that adds a nice red fleck to the dip....pretty AND tasty! Everything else just as written. I would think this would be great wrapped inside chicken breast and baked like a Cordon Blue either w/ or w/out ham and would make a yummy sandwich spread too! I think goat cheese would be interesting to try insted of the shredded cheddar sometime too. Even blue cheese would be good! Thanks for sharing!

Reece's Pieces is my sister, and I've tried her Killer Vampire Cheese Spread on two occasions - both times I adored it! I snuck back to grab cracker after cracker loaded with this, and I can't wait to try it on my own... all I need is a good party!

Fantastic! Can you say Gaahhh-lic? Yummy, I think I could almost finish this off by myself. You gotta love the garlic to try this recipe, and I DO! I don't think any vampires will be coming near me anytime soon. I have already premixed the dry ingredients and put them in a snack size ziploc to have on hand when the craving hits. And it will hit. Thanks for posting! Made for New Kids on the Block tag game.
