You can basically use any kind of jelly/jam you like or have on hand. Just add a few drops of tabasco sauce to taste and proceed as usual.

This is as easy as they get! I used the hot red jalepeno jelly (just a little heat once combined w/the cream cheese) & served it with wheat thins. We had an early Thanksgiving meal & people ended up eating this with their turkey instead of the homemade cranberry sauce --it was a great combo! People even asked to see the jar of jelly so that they could buy some! This is definitely a keeper! It's not the most attractive thing but it is good. Maybe next time I'll try adding a little shredded cheddar & some chopped walnuts. Thanks Donatella!

This is the best, easiest app you are going to find and EVERYONE loves it. Even those that don't like hot and spicy stuff, like me, the cream cheese calms the kick. It's addictive. Goes great with any kind of Jalapeno jam you can find.

I really enjoy this. It is a wonderful variation of sweet and salty. Also try it with minature pretzels. Very tasty!!

Great at Christmas time -- I do one with red pepper jelly and one with green pepper jelly served side by side on a festive gold platter.

This is very good. I tried it before I ever came across this recipe. I used a jalapeno jelly that my boyfriend's aunt made from scratch.

Although I've always loved this recipe, try topping with feta cheese (even blue cheese is good). You will be surprised how crazy people are for it!

This stuff is tasty, and I don't even like sweet stuff mixed with not sweet stuff. It is not the classiest of appetizers when you use jelly, especially the green stuff. I second using a fruit-chipotle sauce instead for a better appearance and texture. My only complaint is the cream cheese gets stained and starts to crack with the jelly on it, probably some acid-milk reaction, and looks not appetizing but still tastes good. Gotta eat it fast.

I love this stuff! At christmas you can split the cream cheese block & put red pepper jelly on 1/2, and green pepper jelly on the other 1/2. I love using hot jalepeno jelly. The recipe sounds weird but it is SO Good - especially for a girl's wine night.

If you love sweet and hot (mildly hot) you're going to love this. Great combo and very addictive. So easy to set up if taking somewhere.

This was very good! I love the combination of flavors...hot and spicy with salty and sweet! And I love the creamy and crunchy textures also! I used a cranberry hot pepper jelly. The only thing I would do different next time is to use equal amounts of cream cheese and jelly. And I would probably warm this up in the microwave before serving. I will definitely be making this for my next party!

Just made this for St. Patty's day ( the jalapeno jelly was green) and served it with Triscuts. Everyone ended up gathered around this dish and were almost too full to eat dinner. This couldn't be easier and, it is so good.

I've made this for several years. It's also delicious with Raspberry Chipotle Sauce over the cream cheese. Someone suggested mixing the ingredients together for a slightly less messy appetizer. Really good w/ Pepperidge whole wheat or multi grain crackers.

My mother has been serving this for years so I decided to take it to a get together. How easy is it?! A block of cream cheese on a plate topped with prepared pepper jelly. I was a little unsure when I first set in out in front of the guests...one or two actually looked at me like I was nuts, but after they tried it they were hooked. The next party, they asked if I'd bring two:)
