Football and clam dip

Starting a couple of years ago, our local grocery chain, Wegman's, stopped carrying clam dip.  Matt and I both viewed that as a personal affront, seeing as it is our preferred dip for potato chips.  

Yesterday, for the playoff football games (Go Pats!), we decided to try our hand at making our own clam dip.  

Clam Dip

Ingredients:
1 8 oz pkg neuchatel or cream cheese (thawed)
1/2 c. sour cream (I used light but not nonfat)
2 5.5 oz cans minced clams (we only had one and it wasn't enough)
clam juice  to taste (we used about 4 oz)
worchestershire sauce  to taste (we used about 2 Tbsp)
generous pinch white pepper
2 Tbsp. minced scallions  

Directions:
Put all ingredients except scallions in a medium bowl, and beat using an electric mixer until completely mixed and it has the consistency you'd expect for dip.  Stir in scallions.  Eat with potato chips while watching football.
