Note 1 - Cream Cheese: I prefer using 2 x 250 gram tubs (spreadable) for this recipe. It is not so much the 'spreadable' reason, more so that I find they fit well into the size of dip serving bowl that I use. As the blocks and tubs weight the same amount, you can use your preference, being aware that if you use blocks, it is a good idea to chop them up to squeeze everything into the bowl.
Note 2 - Greek yogurt: you can use full fat or low fat yogurt. You can also substitute this with the equivalent amount of sour cream if you prefer to use that.
Note 3 - Parmesan cheese: I grate this from a block then measure and add it. You can do the same or use store bought parmesan cheese that is also shredded/grated. This is the cheese from the fridge section that is long like coconut strands, not the flaky type or the one in the pasta aisle which is more of a crumb.
Note 4 - Corn kernels: This is a standard tin of store bought corn kernels. It won't matter if your tin is 400 grams say instead of 420 grams.
Note 5 - Bacon: I use store bought diced bacon as I like the convenience of it sometimes. You can purchase it from the deli or cold section. They often sell this in 1 or 2 packs and they are freezer friendly, so quite a handy ingredient for recipes!
Note 6 - Parsley: the parsley is optional, however, I recommend using it as it adds great pops of colour to the top of the dip and blends well with the overall flavour.
