Cream Cheese & Red Pepper Jelly Pastries!!

I have a new pastry recipe up on my website!! Cream cheese and red pepper jelly is one of my FAVORITE combinations for charcuterie boards because it’s the perfect sweet + spicy combination to spread on crackers. Sooo if you can imagine - it's also a perfect combination for pastry bites!
