The Good and Gather Cranberry Jalapeno Dip has been calling my name since I saw someone on Tik Tok eating it. I have been craving a taste I don’t even know yet. I told my roommate about this craving and she did not share the same excitement about the product. I decided to go to Target to try to find it. 

The package of the dip has a cranberry colored label. There is a description of the dip written on the label. “Made with Cream Cheese, Dried Cranberries, Jalapeño Peppers & White Cheddar Cheese.” There are some photos of jalapeños and cranberries on the left of the letters, giving the label a fresh and bright look. 

I bought sun chips to eat with the dip. I first had my roommate try it. She was hesitant but when I told her it was for an assignment, she agreed. She said the dip smelled sour, but I described it more as spicy. My roommate described the taste as sweet and said the texture was rich. She did mention that the aftertaste was pretty spicy. 

When I tasted the dip, I was delighted. It tasted exactly how I imagined it would. I liked the juxtaposition of the sweet and tangy cranberries with the sharp spice of the jalapeños. The cream cheese itself was slightly sweetened too which helped balance out the heat. The texture was creamy and smooth except when there was a piece of cranberry or jalapeño.
