I'm not usually a fan of cream cheese spreads, but I really enjoyed this one. The flavors are subtle and sophisticated.

I love the combination of sweet and salty in this dish. The cranberries and nuts add a nice crunch and the cream cheese is a perfect complement. I will definitely be making this again.
