In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth.
Add the finely diced pepperoncinis, green onions, chives, and pepperoncini juice to the bowl.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Use a fork to mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined and creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary; if desired, kick up the flavor with some cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes.
For optimal flavor, refrigerate the dip for 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving.
Serve chilled with Ruffles chips or Ritz crackers, and watch it disappear!

Notes

Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days. Freezing may alter the texture, so it's best enjoyed fresh.
