Appetizers just can't get much easier than this ritzy-looking cheese spread with its refreshing hint of lime. I turn to this recipe whenever unexpected guests drop in. —Laurie LaClair, North Richland Hills, Texas

I tried mixing the cream cheese into the sauce and it was not pretty: ( If you want to mix it, make sure the cream cheese is soft and you use an electric mixer to beat the cheese before mixing the sauce into it. I used some reserved sauce for a garnish.

I've made this for Thanksgiving the last two years. It's easy to mix up at home and then pour over cream cheese when we arrive at our destination.

Made this for a Thanksgiving and it was amazing! It has a great kick that is evened out by the cream cheese! Even my sisters boyfriend, who hates cream cheese, loved it!

This is delicious, I added 1/2 tsp dried orange peel and it brightened up the flavor. Used low fat cream cheese and it fits into our eating plan with some whole grain crackers... Yummy!

I made this for our tailgating people and everyone loved it. Nice change from the shrimp and chilli one.

It's in my recipe box! I'm going to make it with my homemade cranberry sauce and 'doctor' it up!

We were not fans of this recipe. It is very easy to make ahead, but I just didn't care for the flavor blend in the cranberries. Might have liked it better if we had blended it all together with the cream cheese.

This was awesome. We creamed it all together as a dip and served it at Thanksgiving. It was amazing. We all decided we have to have it at Christmas too.

I made this with mild chilis and everyone loved it. I might use medium hot chilis next time. Made plenty of sauce to cover the cream cheese. Would definitely made again as it was very easy!
