Meh. I've had better clam spreads. This one was just okay. I probably won't make it again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the spread turned out way too spicy for my taste. I had to add a lot of sour cream to tone it down.

Good, but not great. I found the spread to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more spices or herbs to give it more flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of clams, but this spread changed my mind. The flavors are so well-balanced and the texture is smooth and creamy. I'll definitely be making this again.

Easy to make and absolutely delicious! I used canned clams for convenience and it turned out great. Will definitely be making this again.

I was skeptical about the jalapeños, but they actually added a nice kick without being overpowering. The spread was creamy and flavorful, and it paired perfectly with the crispy crostini.

This clam spread is a delightful burst of flavors! The combination of spicy jalapeños and creamy clams is simply divine. I served it with crostini and it was a hit at my party. Highly recommended!
