Cream Cheese Frosting

This used to be my standby recipe.  It is delicious over a chocolate cake.  And, I imagine it would be great on bars, carrot cake, cookies, etc.  I found it on allrecipes.com.  The original recipe follows and is good, but I have also followed one of the comments on the website to tweak it a bit.  We love it!  Original recipe yields 2 cups.

• 6 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1/3 cup butter, softened
• 1 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 tablespoon cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Mix all ingredients thoroughly and spread on cooled bars or cookies.   

Alterations as suggested by one of the comments:

• 1/3C margarine
• 1T cream
• 4 oz cream cheese
• 1 1/3 C powdered sugar
• 1 t vanilla
