I tested a really small portion of this to use for a recipe in which I needed a garlic/herb cream cheese. I thought it tasted pretty good. I didn't realize how easy it was to make good tasting flavored cream cheeses. It would be good on a bagel.

Great stuff. Don't be afraid to add a little more garlic if you want. The bad breath is worth it.

I made a half recipe of this, using reduced fat cream cheese. After tasting it, I added in more chives and garlic powder. It just needed more. We ate this for lunch spread on whole wheat bread and made into a tomato and lettuce sandwich. I love the idea. Next time, I'll add onion powder, too, I think.

I used fresh garlic and instead of chives I used a little fresh dill. My breath was killer, but the taste was great.

Using reduced fat cream cheese, fresh garlic and chives along with a touch of salt and pepper, this was great to schmear on sandwich thins before topping with sliced garden tomatoes and cucumbers. So it may have caused slight garlicky-oniony-chivey breath... but it was too good to care.

I used 1 individual package of WW (weight watchers) cream cheese spread, 1/8 tsp garlic powder and 1/8 tsp dried chives. Used instead of mayo on my turkey sandwich for lunch. Would be great melted over pasta, on garlic bread and even over fish. The possibilities are endless!

What could be easier? Great basic dip for just about anything, veggies, crackers, or bagels. It tastes really good, and yet won't break the bank.

I cannot believe how good this tastes given how few ingredients it has! I made this in a pinch when a mix I had planned to use fell through. I did add a little minced garlic as well. My husband devoured it, as did my 5 year old! Tip: it's even better a day or two after preparing.

This was so simple and delicious! I used light cream cheese, half garlic powder, half minced garlic and fresh chives instead of dried. This was great spread over fresh bagels and as a dip for carrot and celery sticks - a definite keeper.
