   You can leave them out for a few hours, but yes they do need refrigeration.

3. Am I even here right now?!

   You can leave them out for quite a while. Most recipes call for the cream cheese to be at room temp to avoid lumps anyway. Cream cheese isn’t like mayo, it can stay out a couple of hours longer.

   yes anything type of chesse will need to be refrigerated if opened if not feel free to leave it out but once opened it can only stay out for about an hr before it starts to go bad

   Of course! Cream cheese needs to be refrigerated! Why wouldn’t it, once you put it in dip form?? LOL
