How to Make Pepper Jelly Cheese Dip

In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat 8 oz of cream cheese until it's beautifully smooth and creamy, which usually takes about 1-2 minutes.
Gradually add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder to the creamed cheese. Blend until fully combined, creating a rich, cheesy mixture.
Gently fold in 2 tablespoon of chopped green onions into the cheesy mixture. This adds a touch of freshness and crunch that balances the richness.
Transfer the dip into a serving dish, spreading it evenly. Pour 0.5 cup of pepper jelly over the top, allowing it to cascade beautifully for a stunning presentation.

Serve with your favorite crackers or fresh veggie sticks for a delightful crunch. Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easier blending and a smooth texture. Refrigerate for up to an hour if needed before serving.
