I use onion flavored cream cheese, works just a well, and no chopping onions.

I made these last year for my church's Fall tea party. They were the first thing gone. And all the ladies loved them. It was requested that I make them for this years tea. I did a double batch last year so I guess I will need to make a triple batch!! Tip: I took out the onion and substituted green onion think it gives it fresh taste. I also added a little seasoned pepper.
