- gap between the crackers and the jelly so guests can see the full block of cream cheese topped with the bright red jelly.
- Serve immediately with a small cheese knife or spreader so guests can cut or scoop into the cream cheese and drag it through the jelly.
If you need to make it ahead, assemble the cream cheese and jelly on the platter, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 2 hours. Add the crackers just before serving so they stay crisp.
