Double Cheese

      Instead of shaping this recipe into a half ball it could be shaped into 36 small balls and then each ball coated with nuts.

Yield: 24 servings

• 8 ounces cream cheese
• 3-4 teaspoons cheese seasoning
• ⅛ teaspoon salt
• dash cayenne pepper (optional)
• 4 strips cooked, crumbled bacon
• ½ cup chopped nuts

NOTE: If mixture is too thick, it may be thinned with a little mayonnaise.

1.  Blend cream cheese, cheese seasoning, salt, cayenne pepper and bacon and

     shape into a half  ball.

2.  Coat with nuts. Center on a plate and surround with crackers.

NOTE:  Instead of cheese seasoning a mix of fresh or dried herbs and spices could be used.
