Someone brought this to an office food day recently, could not be easier, was delicious (maybe a bit lame for those who fancy themselves as “real cooks”): Take an 8 oz brick of cream cheese, a jar of Dickinson’s Sweet N Hot Pepper And Onion Relish (available at WalMart), and set out with a box of little crackers (she used some vegetable-flavored ones that were similar to wheat thins). Let the cream cheese sit until it is softer, pour the relish over, provide a knife for spreading.
