Smoked Cream Cheese

"Take your appetizer game to the next level with a batch of this Smoked Cream Cheese. This easy recipe is a guaranteed party favorite! Once it’s smoked, the cream cheese turns nice and soft, but it doesn’t completely melt. We typically serve it hot (right off the smoker) with a cheese knife along with crackers and/or sliced veggies. If you’re not planning on serving the cream cheese right away, then I recommend storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Warm up the cream cheese in the oven or microwave before serving. The smoke flavor in this recipe is absolutely fantastic, but the other secret to making the best smoked cream cheese is the dry rub. Before putting the blocks of cream cheese on the smoker, rub each one with ~1 tablespoon of olive oil. Then sprinkle a barbecue rub on the top and sides of the cream cheese. Holy cow! The softened cream cheese combined with the spices and seasonings of a BBQ rub is nothing short of amazing."
