Dianne, one of my friends and fellow moderators on Sisterhood of the Traveling Book, posts recipes on our Facebook page. I was looking for something different to take to my live book club versus the same cookies and cupcakes and this fit that perfectly. This was a huge hit. I received compliments days after I made it.
Now, I made the full fat recipe, but am sure that the whole fat cream cheese could be substituted with a low-fat version. Be sure to give this a good amount of time to chill. I could definitely taste the difference.
The original source for this recipe is: The Girlfriend Life Newsletter
So, here we go.:

1/2 cup (1 stίck) butter
