3 Pepper Cracker (or Veggie!) Spread

This spread really has some kick to it!  Mix in some spicy peppers and you will definitely turn up the heat.  The recipe suggests you serve this as cracker spread, but it's equally as good on some fresh veggies too (I would suggest cucumber slices, caulifower, even carrots). 
When I was making this I could not figure out what they meant by 3 peppers!  Obviously the jalapeno and Tabasco could as 2 of the 3 peppers, but what is the last one?  I realized they meant the cheese since jack meant PEPPER-jack!  :)

Servings: 8 
Serving Size: 2 Tbsp.
Points Plus: 2pp
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: n/a

Ingredients:
1 8 oz. package cream cheese, 1/3 less fat
1 1/4 cups shredded cheddar/Monterey Jack cheese, reduced-fat
2 Tbsp. canned jalapeno peppers, drained and diced
1 tsp. hot sauce/Tabasco

Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix with a mixer until well combined.  Refrigerate if you are serving later, or serve immediately with a side of crackers.
Tip:
This is a really easy make ahead recipe!  We went camping this past weekend and I made this ahead of time to throw in the cooler for a easy and delicious appetizer for us to enjoy while we were enjoying the great outdoors.
