Homemade Garlic Bread

Sometimes I have to jazz up my bread: make it a little more interesting. The only problem with this homemade garlic bread is that after I finish my first slice, I always go back for a second and possibly a third. Seriously, this is THE BEST garlic bread recipe EVER!  Hands down, I kid you not. You need to give this a whirl!
