Zucchini tends to spread—across bread, crackers and veggies—when this recipe is served at a reception, potluck or casual get-together. It makes enough to satisfy a crowd. —GaleLynn Peterson, Long Beach, California

I love garlic, but I'm going to try 2 (1 per brick of cream cheese) to start with. The only way I could see 18 cloves is if you were roasting it-then it has a very mellow flavor.

My suggestion would be to just add garlic cloves individually until you like the taste. I want to try this and that's they way I am going to do it.

18 cloves of garlic would kill any conversation. I wonder if there was a typo and they only meant 1 clove.

I agree. Until someone addresses the 18 cloves of garlic, I'm not likely to try this recipe. Too bad, too, because I have a big crowd coming over for football this weekend!

Is 18 cloves of garlic accurate? Seems like an awful lot of garlic!
