Answer 2

Here's a cheese ball (log) recipe that is so simple, and made with a cheese you wouldn't expect to be so tasty. People are amazed when I tell them what kind of cheese it is. They usually ask what kind of cheese it is. Honest.. this one's always a hit!!

Sm. pkg. of Velveta Cheese (sorry.. don't remember the size, but there's a wee one (makes one log) and the next size makes 2)
garlic powder (NOT garlic salt)
chopped walnuts
paprika
nutmeg
chili powder

Bring cheese to room temperature, add a few tblsp. garlic powder, 1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. Mix well. (this works best with the hands).

Now place equal amounts of the chili powder, nutmeg & paprika in a small container and mix well. Spread it on some waxed paper. Divide the cheese mixture in 2 portions (if using that bigger sm. box of Velveta), and roll each in the seasoning mixture, covering completely. Wrap in plastic wrap, then in foil and refrigerate. Bring out about a half hour before serving as this is a spread. I like it with Ritz crackers, but use the crackers of your choice. I don't think Triscuits would be great for some reason.

Give it a try... it's different and always a hit.

Answer 3

Mine is more of a dessert dip....but it is always very popular at all my parties when I serve it.

Chocolate Chip Cheesball

1 stick butter (softened to room temp)
1 package of cream cheese (softened to Room Temp)
1 Cup of Sifted Powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 Cup mini chocolate chips
Chopped nuts of choice (optional)

Cream together butter, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth.

fold in chocolate chips

form into ball and let harden in fridge. When hard, roll in chopped nuts.

(sometimes I find that the ball doesn't set back up, so you may need to add a little more powdered sugar. Or you can just put it in a bowl as a dip and just mix the nuts in.)

SOOOOOO GOOD!!!!

Serve with Graham Crackers for dipping
