Obatzda is the most addictive beer and cheese dip or spread to help pretzels travel into your mouth! The rustic and authentic camembert cream cheese base is enhanced with onions, chives and paprika. It's the perfect snack to go with pretzels and beer for a game night with friends or an Oktoberfest party.

Bring all ingredients to room temperature (either by waiting or putting in them microwave for a few seconds). Using a fork, mash together the cheese, cream cheese and butter until you have a chunky paste-like consistency.
oz camembert cheese
oz cream cheese
oz butter
Add in the onions and chives and paprika and continue mixing until combined. Finally add in just enough beer to bring to a spreadable consistency. Add more beer if using a dip for parties etc.
tbsp finely chopped chives
tbsp finely chopped onion
tsp paprika powder
Garnish with paprika powder and chopped chives. Serve with my homemade pretzels for the ultimate Bavarian experience (they can be made ahead of time minus the baking). Other traditional garnishes and dippers are radishes and sliced onions.
