Cream-Cheese-Based Snax
Cream-cheese-based snacks are superior to all other snacks and that is not up for debate. It's a fact and y'all know it, so we can move on.
It wears us out and gives us a migraine that we have to say this, but we know that some of you out there are gonna try to be all healthy and sneaky. So, here's a warning for all you get-on-our-nerves-types: don't you dare try to sneak in that low-fat/no-fat mumbo-jumbo. We simply will not tolerate it. Don't ever try to substitute that nonsense for the real deal. It will not work. End of discussion.
So why are we so obsessed with all things cream-cheese-based? Well, bless your heart, if you have to ask, you wouldn't understand.
YAY, Cream-Cheese-Based-Snacks!
Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Ball
(from Mary's mom. Health Nut.)
Block of Real Cream Cheese
Stick of Real Butter
(do not use margarine - it will ruin the whole entire experience) 1/2 cup of brown sugar (add a little more if you like it sweeter)
3/4 cup of mini chocolate chips
Let the cream cheese and butter sit at room temperature until they are soft enough to blend. Beat 'em up with a hand mixer until nice and smooth and then add the brown sugar. Stir in the mini chocolate chips. Stick in the fridge for a little while until it's firm enough to be rolled into a ball. My mom rolls the ball around in crushed nuts, but I say why spoil a big ole ball of perfection with something healthy? She serves it to her bridge club ladies with graham crackers. Susan and Tracie and I stand around in our elastic-waisted flannel pajamas and eat it with a spoon. Suit yourself. :)
Low-fat/no-fat mumbo-jumbo?
Don't even THINK about it, Sister.
THIS JUST IN..... THIS JUST IN.....BREAKING CRACKER NEWS ALERT...
Ohmygosh-ohmygosh - have you tried the new Town House Flip-Side Pretzel Crackers?! Are we the last ones to know? These things are perfect for a nice cream-cheese-based snack!
Believe us, we've tested them and they have met our approval! Go ahead! Pile on the cream cheese mexican dip - scoop up the cream cheese crab spead - plunge one into the cream cheese bar itself, sister! They can handle it!! They can handle it!
Allow us explain: they are a nice regular buttery cracker. Just your regular ordinary Town House cracker. Nice, but nothing to go crazy about. But THEN - oh yes - THEN - you follow the directions in the title ("FLIP-SIDE", get it?) flip the regular cracker over and - LA LA LA! - pretzel! That's right! Regular buttery cracker on one side - salty delicious pretzel right there on the other side!! Smack there on the same exact cracker! It's a two-fer!
It's hearty. It's crispy. It's buttery. Frankly, we find it to be a more competent cracker than the others we've researched.
Our years of searching have finally paid off. All hail Town House Flip-Side Pretzel Crackers! Cream-cheese based-snack lovers rejoice!
