Recipe: Cheesy Christmas Tree

Appetizers and Snacks
CHEESY CHRISTMAS TREE

1 pkg. (8 oz.) Philadelphia Cream Cheese
1/2 cup Di Giorno Basil Pesto Sauce
1/4 cup chopped red pepper
1 Kraft Polly-O Twist-Ums String Cheese
Ritz Crackers

Cut block of cream cheese diagonally in half. Arrange both halves, with points together, on serving plate to resemble Christmas tree shape.

Cut a 2-inch piece from the string cheese. Place at bottom of "tree" for the "trunk." Wrap up remaining cheese; refrigerate until ready to use for snacking or another use.

Spoon pesto sauce over cream cheese; sprinkle with peppers. Serve as a spread with the crackers.

VARIATIONS:
- Prepare as directed, using PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese, 1/3 less Fat than Cream Cheese.

- Prepare as directed, using a STELLA D'ORO Mini Breadstick for the "tree trunk" instead of the piece of cheese.

Makes: 12 servings, 2 Tbsp. spread and 5 crackers each
