8 oz cream cheese, room temperature I used light.
4 oz butter, room temperature
½ teaspoon garlic powder can increase to 1 teaspoon if stronger flavour is desired
1 tablespoon chives minced, see Note 1
1 tablespoon parsley minced, see Note 1

Beat cream cheese and butter together 4-5 minutes until they mixture is light and fluffy. Add the garlic powder and fresh herbs and beat another couple of minutes until everything is evenly incorporated.
Transfer the cheese mixture to a serving bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Alternatively shape the mixture in to a dome and wrap in plastic wrap.
Refrigerate 1-2 hours before serving to allow flavours to meld. Garnish with more parsley if desired and serve with cracker.
Will keep sealed in the fridge for a week.

Note 1: If using dried herbs reduce amount to 1 teaspoon each.
