  • 2 tbsp BBQ dry rub or seasoning of choice
Optional: 1 tbsp Hot honey or Pepper jelly

Method
 

  1. Preheat your smoker to 225°F using fruitwood pellets.

  3. Score the top in a crosshatch pattern (1/2 inch deep).
  4. Coat all sides with your BBQ rub.
  5. Place in the smoker for 2 hours until the edges start to brown and crack.
  6. Drizzle with honey or jam if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • Keep the cream cheese cold until the very second you are ready to season it to prevent it from softening too quickly.
