Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temp
1/4 c creamy peanut butter
1 clove fresh garlic, skin peeled away
1 half-inch piece of ginger root
1/4 c milk
1 Tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp brown sugar, packed
1/8 tsp ground red pepper
large tray of assorted fresh veggies, cleaned, peeled, pared, cut up into dipping sized pieces

Steps:

1. Place cream cheese and peanut butter in a bowl; mix together until creamy and smooth. Press garlic clove and ginger root thru a garlic press, directly into the cream cheese mixture. Add all remaining ingredients, except the fresh veggies. Mix well. Allow to sit while you prepare the fresh veggies; this will allow flavors to marry well, before serving with a pretty platter of "crudites" [French word, for fresh vegetables used for dipping, pronounced crew-dee-TAY}, or fresh vegetables.
