Google cream cheese spreads. There are hundreds of them; many are easy to make.

A really great spread/dip is one block of cream cheese (softened and whipped with a teaspoon or two of milk) mixed with 1/2 of a jar of Harry and David Pepper Relish.

I love to chop olives (green or black) and stir into cream cheese. Really good on crackers or to make tea sandwiches.

1 block softened cream cheese

2 T crushed pineapple, drained

2 T finely minced broccoli florets

1 t dried minced onion flakes

chopped walnuts or pecans for garnish

combine all by hand with spatula or spoon. refrigerate for 1 hr before serving; sprinkle with chopped nuts

adjust amounts to taste; I shape this into a cheeseball at holiday time and roll it in the chopped nuts before serving with crackers

Open a package of cream cheese. Top with Red Pepper Jelly (I buy at Trader Joes) OR pour some Pickapeppa Sauce on top (found on same aisle as Worchestershire or Steak Sauce). Both very good served with crackers. You can also make a cheese ball after combining cream cheese with crushed pineapple, chopped green onions, and chopped green pepper. Shape in a ball and roll in chopped pecans...refrigerate. When firm, enjoy with crackers/crostini.

Love that one. I used to make it all the time when we had a H&D store. Unfortunately, it closed.

Blue cheese with cream cheese and some chives is really good.

<h1> SHIITAKE MUSHROOM SPREAD</h1>

4 T unsalted butter
2 large clove garlic, minced
2 large shallots, finely chopped
1/2 pound shiitake mushrooms, cleaned, stemmed and diced
2 T tamari or soy sauce
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 T chopped chives
Hot red-pepper sauce to taste

Melt butter in large pan over medium heat. Add garlic and shallots. Saute stirring 2-3 minutes. Add shiitakes and saute stirring often until tender, about 10 minutes.

Stir in tamari or soy sauce and cook until evaporated (about 1 minute). Remove from heat and cool.

Scrape shiitakes into bowl. Add the cream cheese and mix until evenly distributed (wooden spoon works well). Mix in chives. Season with hot sauce if desired. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until needed. Return to room temperature and serve with crackers.

This is one of my most requested items to bring to a nibble along.............. Let 8 oz of cream cheese come to room temp, and then how I do it is with the dough hooks on my Kitchen Aid hand mixer, and put in the cream cheese, 1 package of Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing, and 1 large can of drained chicken (13 oz) in a bowl, and mix with the dough hooks until well blended, and then I take a spatula, and scrape it into a ball, and put on the lid of a loc n loc bowl, and then I stick whole almonds on it all around in rows, so that it looks like a pine cone, then just place the bowl on it to cover and then lock it...Less than 10 minuts from start to finish........ You can also roll in toasted pecans, or a shredded cheese blend of your choice..........
