Pepper Cream Cheese Dip and Spread image

I bought some Peppadew Sweet Whole Piquante Peppers at Costco just because they looked so darn good. I had no idea what to do with them, so I whipped this up for Thanksgiving and it was the talk of the day. I barely had to wash the bowl and it's already been requested for Christmas. This is what I call a stupid-easy recipe, but nobody else needs to know that!

1 lb cream cheese (2 "bricks")
1 -2 tablespoon milk

  • Add cream cheese and pulse until blended.
  • Serve with crackers, tortilla chips or crudites, or spread on bread or bagels. Can be served immediately or refrigerated overnight to let flavors blend.
