⅓ cup melted butter
2 tbsp brown sugar
¼ cup brown sugar (for swirl)
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Warm honey for drizzling

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Beat cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add sugar.

Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter version.
Use gluten-free graham crackers for a gluten-free option.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
