There are several versions of this recipe, called Margarita Fruit Dip, but this is my fav. It's very good!

8 oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup frozen margarita drink mix, thawed
2 Tbsp. orange juice
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup Cool Whip

Blend all ingridents with a hand mixer until it is smooth and creamy

Another one that is really good, even though it sounds gross, is Green Pepper Jelly and Cream Cheese mmmm Just take a block of cream cheese and pour a small jar of pepper jelly on it and eat it with crackers! Or blend it all up with a hand mixer, whichever way you like it. It's awesome.
