Jingle Bell Spread image

No need to ring this "dinner bell" to summon your guests-the sight of it's enough to make folks come running! The creamy spread from Karen Balistrieri of Oconomowoc, Wisconsin gets a festive look from red pepper, pimientos and parsley on top. If you like, you can mold the mix into a Christmas tree, star, candy cane or any other appealing shape.-Karen Balistrieri, Oconomowoc, Wisconsin
