Thunder Cheese Appetizer image

This is a tried and true recipe I borrowed from a relative. It is always a crowd favorite at parties. I don't think I've ever seen someone only take one bite. I use part-skim shredded cheeses to keep the fat low. No one can tell the difference. I usually put the pepper jelly on about 3/4 of the top in case some of my guests prefer a milder version. The red pepper flakes are also optional. It takes great with or without them.
