This is my favorite appetizer for parties, office gatherings, and last minute visitors. Its your basic cream cheese bar topped with spicy red pepper jelly. The only thing I change for the holidays is its shape. It doesn't get any easier than this folks.
Ingredients:
2 8oz cream cheese bars
Red pepper jelly
Cling wrap
Crackers
Directions:
1) Set out the cream cheese bars and let them soften at room temperature.
2) Place softened bars on a large sheet of cling wrap with the short ends of the cheese touching, making one long bar.
3) Fold the cling wrap over the top of the cream cheese. This will allow you to roll and mold the cream cheese without it sticking to your hands. Roll the cream cheese into one log and shape into a candy cane.
4) Keep the cream cheese wrapped in cling wrap and place in the refrigerator until firm and ready to serve.
5) When ready to serve, remove the cream cheese from the cling wrap and place on a platter.
6) Using a spoon, spread the red pepper jelly over the cream cheese in diagonal stripes to mimic a candy cane.
Serve with crackers and enjoy!
