Made it per the recipe, and found it lacking in red pepper flavor almost completely. I think I realized my mistake the next time I went to the grocery store. Make sure you buy the peppers in a larger jar than I did. The one I got was 7oz total, not 7 oz of peppers. Look twice at the label to get the right amount of peppers, my guess is that the 12oz jar is about 7oz of peppers and the rest water. Also, I'm not sure if they refer to whipped cream cheese, I used softened block cream cheese.
