    Expert Tips


    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.
    Swap the hot pepper jelly for bacon jam or another savory or sweet jam of your choice.
    For best results, serve bites warm or at room temperature.
