Method
 

How to Make Hot Honey Cream Cheese Dip
  1. Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes or soften it quickly in the microwave for 10–15 seconds. Once softened, place it on a serving plate and shape or spread it a bit for easier dipping.
  2. If you’re using store-bought hot honey, microwave it briefly for about 10–15 seconds until it becomes pourable. If you’re making homemade, gently heat honey with red pepper flakes and let it steep for 5 minutes to infuse that delightful spice.
  3. Drizzle the warm hot honey generously over the cream cheese. If you’re feeling adventurous, top it with optional chopped nuts or some fresh thyme for an added touch!
  4. Present the dip immediately with a beautiful assortment of dippers alongside—crackers, pretzels, or sliced apples will all work perfectly.
