The cream cheese mixture was so good. I added about a 1/3 cup of red jalapeno jelly to the cranberries to spice it up some and it was delish. I made mine into a ball and added the cranberry mixture about an hour before the party. I'm glad I waited to add the cranberries later because it was pretty runny and got not very pretty later.

The cream cheese/sour cream/cinnamon base is EXCELLENT. Delish! I mixed my cranberries the night before with 1 tsp red pepper for a bit of bite- it wasn't spicy at all. It still tasted excellent. Next time I will add a fresh chopped jalapeno! VERY GOOD!

Oh so easy and oh so good! Took it to a party and got compliment after compliment. I only altered the almonds on top...didn't have slivered so toasted whole almonds and coursely chopped them. I will definitely make this again.

Gets 5 stars for taste and ease. This made a huge hit at two parties I recently attended. However, I made this appetizer a day ahead and the wholeberry cranberry sauce was running and looked messy (even tho tasted delish!). My suggestion would be to prepare as directed, refrigerate seperately and apply topping to cheese spread just prior to serving. This is SO...............good.

I made this for Christmas Eve b/c I thought it looked festive and would be a nice contrast to all of the savory appetizers we usually have. It was delicious and pretty. Easy to make. I used light sour cream and 1/3 less fat neuchatel cream cheese and it was creamy but set well enough for spreading with a dip spreader. I did not make it into a ring or a ball but just put in a pretty dish and spread the cranberry sauce on top. I will definitely make this again.

This did not turn out as well as I had hoped. I followed the recipe exactly, but no one at our party liked it. There was at least 2/3 left. I will not make this again.

This dish was extremely easy and tasty. We had some specialty bread that we served it with and it tasted fantastic!

Easy, attractivee, tasty. What else can one ask for? Very good as written. Good with or without the almonds, which can get soggy. Was good with Wheat Thins and Ritz brand Honey Butter crackers. It's not often that I make a recipe without changing it, but this one made the cut! Thanks!
