Time 10m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese (not low fat or non-fat because it needs to be thick)
1 (5 ounce) jar Kraft Old English cheese spread (sometimes I add an extra jar of this and make it into 2 balls)
1 (5 ounce) jar Kraft roka blue spread
1 teaspoon garlic powder (or more to taste)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

Let all three cheeses get to room temperature.
With a blender, mix together all ingredients EXCEPT the nuts.
Shape into 1 or 2 balls (I always do 2 so that there are more nuts to go around).
Roll each cheese ball in nuts, place on a piece of waxed paper and put in the fridge to set up.
Serve with buttery crackers on the side.
