Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy
Next, stir in hot honey, ¾ of both cheeses, diced jalapeños, shallots, chives, garlic powder, bacon, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Pour the dip into an 11x9 or 10x10 baking dish. Smooth with a spatula. Add the rest of the cheese to the top of the dip. Add in any extra bacon, chives or green onions that are left.
Bake in the oven, uncovered, for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and sides are golden brown.
Carefully remove the dish from the oven and drizzle extra hot honey, green onion, and jalapeños on top.
I served this with New York Bakery 5 Cheese Texas Toast.

Notes
Tips:
To keep the dip warm, serve it straight from the oven or keep it on the warm setting in a slow cooker.
If you do not want the cheese to harden while it is being served, add all the cheese to the dip before baking.
If you are dairy-free, you can use dairy-free cream cheese and dairy-free cheese to make this dip completely dairy-free.
If you want to prep this dish ahead of time, you can make it the day before and bake just before serving.
Storage:
You can store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
To warm the leftovers, heat them uncovered in the oven at 355 degrees until heated throughout or place in the microwave and heat for 30-second intervals while stirring in between until the dip is warm.
Want to freeze this dip? Simply store it in a freezer-safe container, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the freezer for up to one month. Thaw the dip in the refrigerator overnight and then reheat with the directions above.
