Ingredients
- 125 g (half 250 g package) cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons chopped dried cranberries

Expert Tips
- Use disposable gloves when handling jalapeño chiles.
- Do you crave spicy heat? If so, adjust heat level by increasing jalapeño chile from 1 to 2 teaspoons.
- These appetizers can be assembled and refrigerated up to 1 hour before baking. Bake time may need to be increased 1 to 2 minutes due to being refrigerated.
