Good dip - it has a nice kick to it. Used light cream cheese and it came out very good. The pickled jalapeno might have been a bit too sweet for my taste - next time I'll probably sub 1-2 fresh jalapenos and maybe some green chilis instead.

The only variation was to use fresh jalapeno (4) and no jalapeno sauce. Not very hot - just a nice slow burn at the end. thanks !
