    2   tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh garlic

    1   (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
    1/4   cup Butter, softened

    Thanks- I've copied these.

    Some years ago I saw a similar thing for a frozen cheesecake pop...any ideas about making them? They looked so good!

     

    Thanks!
