The perfect party appetizer; especially during football season. This recipe can be multiplied to accommodate large groups. These babies are spicy but if you want them to pack a punch, leave the seeds in. Although the recipe doesn’t call for it, try adding some sharp cheddar cheese to the cream cheese mix and kick it up another notch.
