Notes
While a generous coating of the BBQ rub is appropriate, you will probably have some leftover. (Do not feel like you have to use it all.)
Serve this warm with your favorite variety of crackers. We prefer pita crackers.
Keep the cream cheese nice and cold in the refrigerator until you’re ready to begin. Otherwise, it will be too soft and messy to work with.
I do not recommend using low fat cream cheese for this recipe.
