The problem I experienced was that it was extremely stiff. Being a fondue-type recipe, I expected one could dip individual bits of bread or crackers into it. However, we needed a knife or spreader to put it on the crackers. I will make it again and add some heavy cream and sour cream to loosen it up a bit. My rating is for flavor, and ignores the problem I had with the batch I made in case I did something wrong.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2023-02-01","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Parula100"},"reviewBody":"
This was absolutely delicious! I ate it with pita chips, but I think it would make a great topping for toasted French bread as well.
