This dip is outstanding.  I almost didn’t want to tell my party guests what was in it because it was so simple. I wanted them to stay impressed.  But I told them and now everyone can make this amazing dip.

Plus, it gave me an excuse to use my little dipper for the first time (though I’m sure you could also just simmer this over very low heat in a saucepan).

Easiest Garlic Dip Ever

1 8 oz. block cream cheese
1/3 C. mayonnaise
whole head of garlic, minced (or, if you’re lazy like me, about 2 T. of pre-minced garlic from a jar)

Mix everything in your little dipper (or in a small saucepan) and simmer for an hour or so, stirring occasionally.  Serve with veggies, crackers, pita, whatever.  Fabulous!
