I know this dip is intended as a chip dip, but I also use it as a spread for my bagels! I like cream cheese, but I always feel like it is a little bit heavier. I actually accidently purchased this without reading it correctly and thought it was a spread at first, I started using it on my bagels without even thinking about it and one day, when I finally decided to look at the packaging realized what it was actually, a dip! Ever since I have been using it for my tortilla chips as a dip and as a spread on bagels!
