Everyone always seems to go with savory snack spreads, so this sweet cream cheese dip is an easy way to stand out from the crowd. Finely chopped cranberries and pecans elevate the texture and flavor in a big way.

This dip is great for any party any time of the year. A wonderful change from the chip and dip you see at every party. Multigrain crackers added an extra crunch. I highly recommend it.
