Tips from the

Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To easily cut cream cheese, freeze the block for 15 minutes until slightly firm, then cut into cubes. For clean cuts, run a knife under hot water and dry with a paper towel between cuts.
  • tip 2
    Swap the hot pepper jelly for bacon jam or another savory or sweet jam of your choice.
  • tip 3
    For best results, serve bites warm or at room temperature.
