This was really tasty! I loved the combination of sweet and salty and the crunch this had. YUM!<br/>I mixed the coconut in with the cream cheese and used sunflower seeds on top as thats all I had on hand. Other than that I stuck to your recipe and really liked it. Will make again. <br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this keeper with us, Starry!<br/>Made and reviewed for Veggie Swap #61 August 2013.

This recipe was a hit with my family. The flavors were a great combination. Next time I would probably make it a bit differently, though. I would like to integrate the green onions and cashews with the cream cheese, so I would probably beat them together in a bowl first. Also, I'd use less raspberry jam next time, as it seemed a little much.

This was delicious ~ made for our Christmas buffet. I used toasted pecans in place of the cashews, and probably more like 1/2 cup :) Wonderful spread for so little work ~ and rave reviews from the family.

Made this the other day, but instead of using it as a spread for crackers, I mixed all the ingredients together then spread the mixture over a large tortilla! That got rolled up, chilled, then sliced into 10 'pinwheels' & served them that way! ABSOLUTELY GREAT, & thanks, much, for posting the recipe!
