I love cream cheese. I am kind of obsessed with it. Cream cheese just seems to make everything better.

When I made some Red Velvet Cake Mix Waffles, I knew that I needed to come up with a way to top them with cream cheese. Red Velvet and cream cheese  go together like peanut butter and jelly.

I have the most perfect cream cheese frosting recipe that I make all of the time, but wanted something more like syrup to top pancakes, French toast, and waffles with. 

That’s how this recipe for Sweet Cream Cheese Syrup was born.

Can you save leftovers? If so, do you just place in the fridge and microwave to make it syrupy again?
