Pepper Jelly Cheese Dip (with or without Bacon)

This Pepper Jelly Cheese Dip is the spicy-sweet, melty appetizer that you've been dreaming of. Made with softened blocks of cream cheese and goat cheese, it's topped with a fiery spicy pepper jelly for that addictive flavor explosion. You can also add bacon if you're into that!

Notes

If you don't like bacon or don't eat it, feel free to leave it out of your pepper jelly cheese dip. 
You can also serve this dip cold but in my opinion, it's better hot!
