Cranberry Cream Cheese Dip Instructions:
In a stand mixer, combine the dark rum, cream cheese, chili powder, lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper, and mix for 5 minutes, or until soft and fluffy. Once done, evenly spread into a serving container. 

In a small bowl, add the jellied cranberry sauce and whisk for 2 minutes, or until softened. Gently spread on top of the cream cheese mixture. 
Garnish with scallions and serve with candied Ritz Crackers. 

Candied Ritz Crackers Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. 

In a small saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar, stirring occasionally to prevent the sugar from sticking to the bottom. 

In a large mixing bowl, add the crackers and pour the butter mixture over top. Toss until coated. Lay the coated crackers on a parchment lined sheet tray. 

In a small bowl, combine the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and Old Bay seasoning. Sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over the crackers.

Bake for 8 minutes or until golden brown.
