Dip Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup pepper jelly (your choice)
- 2 green onions, finely chopped

Instructions
- Soften Cream Cheese: Allow the cream cheese to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes until it becomes soft and easy to mix.
- Combine Cream Cheese and Pepper Jelly: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with half of the pepper jelly. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
- Add Green Onions: Gently fold the finely chopped green onions into the cream cheese mixture until they are evenly distributed, adding a fresh, mild onion flavor.
- Transfer to Serving Dish: Spoon the dip into a serving dish, using a spatula to create appealing swirls on the surface.
- Drizzle Remaining Jelly and Serve: Drizzle the remaining pepper jelly over the top of the dip for an added burst of sweetness and spice. Arrange assorted crackers around the dish and serve immediately.

- Use your favorite type of pepper jelly, such as jalapeño or habanero, to adjust the heat level to your liking.
- This dip can be made a few hours ahead of time and refrigerated; bring to room temperature before serving for best flavor.
- Serve with a variety of crackers, fresh vegetables, or toasted bread slices.
- Store any leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
