This party dip, quite frankly, is a perennial crowd pleaser, with the delicious buttery decadence of artichoke hearts paired with cream cheese and the sharpness of shredded parmesan cheese, the bite of garlic, and just enough spicy kick from the jalapenos to remind your taste buds that Yes, they are indeed still alive and awake. Served with rusk crackers or alongside toasted sourdough rounds or bagel chips, be prepared to watch it disappear.

1 16 oz pkg cream cheese, softened
8 0z sour cream
2 cups fresh grated parmesan cheese

1 tbsp chopped garlic
1 tsp green Tobasco
    salt and pepper to taste
