Pepper Jelly Cheese Spread FAQs
Can I use Neufchatel cheese in place of the cream cheese?
Sure! If that is your preference, feel free to substitute Neufchatel cheese for the cream cheese in this pepper jelly spread recipe.
Where can I find pepper jelly?
You can find pepper jelly at almost any grocery store! Most stores even have their own brand of pepper jelly, and they are typically really tasty! You can usually find this on the condiment aisle.
Can I use store brand crackers in place of the Ritz crackers?
Okay, honest moment here. I do not like any store brand versions of Ritz crackers. With that being said, it is totally your preference! If you are okay with the taste of store brand crackers, feel free to substitute them for Ritz to serve with your simple pepper jelly cheese spread.
