  • 8 ounces cream cheese Softened to room temperature.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by chopping the cocktail onions into smaller pieces and setting them aside. Ensure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature.
  2. In a medium skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the panko breadcrumbs along with onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir frequently for about 5 minutes, until golden brown and fragrant. Remove half for topping later.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, ketchup, and granulated sugar. Blend until smooth using an electric hand mixer, about 2-3 minutes. Fold in the chopped cocktail onions and remaining seasonings.
  4. Transfer the dip mixture into a serving bowl, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle reserved toasted breadcrumbs on top and finish with a sprinkle of dried parsley.
  5. Serve immediately with an array of chips, crackers, and vegetable sticks. Refrigerate if not serving right away.
