Guinness and Cheddar Dip

This dip is unreal. It was a huge hit at family dinner. I strongly recommend; however, be aware that is is incredibly addicting. I served with dipping pretzel sticks and Town House Flatbread Crackers.

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp half-and-half
• 1/4 cup Guinness
• 2 or 3 scallions, chopped
• 1 tsp garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
• salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

1. In the bowl of a blender or food processor, combine the cream cheese, cheddar, mustard, and half-and-half. Pulse until smooth.
2. With the food processor running, slowly pour the Guinness down the feeder and blend until combined.
3. Add the scallions, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper (to taste). Blend until thoroughly mixed.
4. Transfer to a bowl, cover, chill for at least one hour before serving.
