Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine raspberry preserves, chipotle sauce, granulated garlic, and smoked paprika. Stir until warmed through and smooth.

- Add a layer of candied jalapeños on top and garnish with green onion slices.

Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s best served fresh, but you can gently reheat in the microwave if needed.
- Variations:
- Swap raspberry preserves for blackberry or apricot jam for a fun twist.
- Not a fan of spice? Look for mild jalapeños.
- Use whipped cream cheese for a lighter, spreadable version.
