Total Time: 5 min
Makes: 12 servings, 2 Tbsp. spread and 5 crackers each

Ingredients:
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese

1/2 cup DI GIORNO Basil Pesto Sauce

1/4 cup chopped red pepper

1 KRAFT POLLY-O TWIST-UMS String Cheese

RITZ Crackers

Directions:
CUT block of cream cheese diagonally in half. Arrange both halves, with points together, on serving plate to resemble Christmas tree shape.

CUT a 2-inch piece from the string cheese. Place at bottom of "tree" for the "trunk." Wrap up remaining cheese; refrigerate until ready to use for snacking or another use.

SPOON pesto sauce over cream cheese; sprinkle with peppers. Serve as a spread with the crackers.

KITCHENS TIPS:
Prepare as directed, using PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese, 1/3 less Fat than Cream Cheese.

Prepare as directed, using a STELLA D'ORO Mini Breadstick for the "tree trunk" instead of the piece of cheese.
