1 untreated cedar plank (14x7x1 inch)

4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. tub) PHILADELPHIA Chive & Onion Cream Cheese Spread
1/2 cup finely chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, divided
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

  • Beat cream cheese products with mixer until blended. Stir in 2 Tbsp. tomatoes. Shape into ball; roll in remaining tomatoes, then parsley until evenly coated.
  • Refrigerate 1 hour.
