1. Combine the cream cheese with the salt, garlic powder, thyme, & rosemary. Let sit for 10 minutes to let flavors meld.

3. Set the mushrooms on a plate and place in freezer for 3 hours. This keeps the coating on and the cheese from melting out of the mushrooms when cooking
4. Meanwhile make the dipping sauce by mixing all ingredients together. Cover and place in fridge.
