"Living in Iceland & finding ways to overcome the fact you cannot rely on convenience food items you took for granted in the US means that you turn your attention to copycat recipes. It almost goes without saying that a Google search brought up several options for me, but this Taste of Home recipe from 2002 was at the top of the list. The recipe yield was 1 1/2 cups, but I felt I would routinely need a smaller amt. So I opted to half the TOH recipe for my copycat version & enter it here for my future cooking needs. ENJOY!"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter & herbs until well-blended.
NOTE: This is best when made a day ahead & refrigerated overnight
NOTE RE PIC: I made this today (5/16) to use in a recipe tomorrow & it is so good that I wanted to eat it w/a spoon. FYI: I used all dry herbs (including the parsley) & 4 med-sized cloves of roasted garlic (love using it & never let myself run out of my supply)
