Before I found this recipe, I bought 2 brands of pizza sauce from the store. This was sooo much better than either one of the bought ones! I make this exactly as given and I usually double or triple the amount in order to have plenty in the fridge. I use this for dipping the Pizza Pinwheels from this site in. I make pizza with this using Jay's Signature Pizza Crust, again, from this site. An all around awesome recipe. You can play around with the ingredient amounts but it is, indeed, exquisite as so aptly named, exactly as written. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.

This is an amazing tasting spread! My picky, picky husband and all his family loved it! I made it exactly according to the ingredients, but I did stir the parmesan cheese into the mixture of cream cheese instead of placing it on top and then put it in the oven to bake according to the instructions provided. I never was a fan of jalapeno before but I loved this one. It was the only spread completely eaten during our Christmas and New Year's parties. Tostito's scoops are awesome to use with this spread. When eating it, prepare to sweat!! Thanks for a wonderful party recipe.

I found this recipe to be very good and I wanted to share what I consider to be a helpful hint that I discovered while making it. Being a blind homemaker, I found it difficult to roll this dough out into the specified size rectangle. First, rather than flour my work surface, I sprayed it lightly with cooking spray and also coated my hands with it. Then, I decided to take half of the dough and place it on the surface, which in my case, was a standard sized cookie sheet. Using my hands, I was able to press it out to fill the pan and thus have a perfect shaped rectangle. I followed the remaining steps except that I started on the short end of the rectangle as it was a halved amount of dough. Then, I did the same thing with the other half of the dough. Voila! It worked out great and the rolls were scrumptious. This may be a helpful hint to those of you who are having trouble getting that perfrect rectangle, shape, blind or not! :) Happy baking!!
