- 8 oz cream cheese
- 16 oz vanilla almond bark (or white baking chocolate)
- Nutmeg for garnish (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS

gingersnaps in a food processor and crush until they are fine crumbs

plastic bag and smash with a rolling pin until they are crumbs). - Place
crumbs in a medium bowl. Add cream cheese and mix until well-blended.
